As I said before, EVERYONE involved in this situation, off-duty cops, McCoy, McCoy's crew, are a bunch of idiots. I can't imagine a situation as a grown adult being in a situation where I would go somewhere that things like this could happen or even if they started to, not trying to de-escalate the situation very quickly.
A few points, the story that is coming out is not a good excuse. An argument over a bottle of champagne. HA! Grow up. Racist comments? Everyone involved was black!
Second, related to McCoy, the video that surfaced of him going nuts showed that people were trying to hold him back and he fought through it and was attacking someone who was not a threat and was on the ground. Not a good look.
Third and related to some other posters comments, IF it was a situation where McCoy and his friends were jumped, assaulted without knowing it was coming, whatever, then sure, of course you have to stand there and help out your friends or defend yourself. But it doesn't appear that's the case based on what's coming out and what the video shows. Rather it sounds like a bunch of losers acting tough and not a single person with a cool head trying to calm the situation.
Unfortunately for McCoy, he needs to be better than that.
