I'm not sure guns would have made much of a difference in that situation. Once you're grappling like that, it's hard to pull your gun and shoot the person you're grappling with, especially since it was 2-on-1 for both cops. The cop had some pepper spray, and once he was able to get away and pull that out, it diffused the situation.
I think the biggest problem is that the cops were outnumbered by drunk hooligans, they needed more cops there to deal with the situation. I wonder if they called for backup?
