While surfing Youtube, I came across this clip. Its of a LEO struggling, for what seems like an eternity, with a suspect he is attempting to place under arrest.

I know that we've had threads on here about getting involved, however, I'm surprised that no help came until the very end of the clip. Even if nobody actually went to physically help the officer, calling 911 would be a start. The majority of the time, the officers where I work will always call out their location and I make it a habit to check on their status. They have a panic alarm on their portable radios, so even if they're not able to physically talk to me, at least I know a) their location and b) if they are in need of help, I'll know where to send it.
So, thoughts on this? I'm especially interested in hearing from the LEOs that we have here on this forum. Would you have done anything differently?
