NFL teams may be putting in calls to a bystander who took action against a rioter in Los Angeles after he delivered a perfect form tackle to a rioter.
A video has gone viral showing the altercation, which happened amid a week of violence perpetrated by left-wing anarchists. In it, you can see a man dressed in black verbally accosting LASD deputies wearing protective gear before he throws a bottle at one of them. The deputies then open fire with non-lethal rounds, causing the man to retreat.
That's when a bystander, who can be seen in a white shirt, gets involved and delivers a lesson the rioter will never forget. This is simply incredible.

That may be the best form tackle I've ever seen, and it's one the rioter won't be forgetting anytime soon. When he turned to strut away after hitting the deputy, you could tell that he thought he was in the clear. There was an arrogance about his body language...until there wasn't, and he ended up planted firmly into the ground.
Once the tackle happens, the LASD deputies rush in and arrest the rioter. The bystander eventually gets off the ground and is allowed to leave the scrum, which is probably not official procedure, but a deserved nod for the help the deputies received. Notably, you can see something black shoot out of the rioter's waistline. At first glance, it could be a gun (which would explain why the other guy rushed to tackle him), but it's so pixelated that it's hard to tell.
Is what happened vigilantism? Sure. Is that advised in an ordered society? Probably not. But can you blame people for becoming fed up with left-wing agitators taking over the streets and breaking the law with impunity? This is what happens when Democrat politicians like Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass refuse to do their jobs.
Chaos begets chaos, and it's not a given that normal people will just continue to sit back and take it. You can not like that. You can say it's not helpful. But it's human nature to reach a breaking point, whether that's a man delivering a form tackle or someone running over rioters as their car is mobbed. This is why it's so important for order to be restored and criminality not to be tolerated.
That's what makes the attacks on President Donald Trump for trying to stop the riots so insidious. It's not just the politics, it's the practical effects. Democrats are fomenting unrest and then crying "dictator" when it leads to predictable consequences. That may play well on CNN, but people are not going to tolerate this forever.
