re: A white and black teen get in a fight at NJ mall but only the black teen is shown cuffed

I suppose if you're one that possesses low impulse control and the inability to deescalate a situation by laughing and walking away. You can play the contrarian bit to your heart's desire. Who made the actual first physical contact? We all know who.

Both kids had the opportunity to walk away, neither did. Paragraph is irrelevant.

Again, physical contact to remove someone’s hand out of your face does not fall under the legal definition of starting a fight. Pushing someone however, does.
