"One Word of God is all and all are one, one doctrine is all doctrines and all are one, so that when one is lost all are eventually lost, because they all belong together and are held together by a common bond." – Dr. Martin Luther
"Nevertheless we consider it our duty to criticize, refute, oppose, contend against, and reprove whatever error becomes manifest in the teaching of those who wish to be our brethren, whether this error pertains to a fundamental or a non-fundamental teaching of the Word of God……" -– C. F. W. Walther
"Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that National morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle." –- George Washington
"Politics and morality are inseparable. And as morality’’s foundation is religion, religion and politics are necessarily related. We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect, and our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they’’re sinners can bring to democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive." —— Ronald Reagan
"Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born." -- Ronald Reagan

In sorting out the situation on the ground there are police and civilians. The occupant of the bystander car is a civilian in the middle of a police operation. To keep him/her safe, the police will cuff and detain until it is all sorted out. The crowd around that person tells me that the police were concerned about that person's well being (just got whacked by another car as a result of police action) and wanted to make clear the need to cuff and clarify before any civilians are released or arrested and transported.
I am former Dallas Police and officer safety is primary so all unknown actors in the middle of the an action are controlled until all the sorting out is done.
Hope this offers an answer to your question.
Thank you for the police perspective and protocol on this, Thomas. As a volunteer police chaplain in my local community, I appreciate your past service and present perspective.
However, you may want to take another, closer look at the video. The guy in the parked car opens his door twice and plumes of smoke billow forth.
Methinks said smoke was of a rather aromatic and illegal variety, and the fellow was unlucky enough to be a bystander caught in his illicit behavior because of the criminal behavior of another.
