Oh yeah, does anyone know if the off-duty cop identified himself as a cop? Because if he didn't, then I can understand why he was caught in the middle.

From what I have read and heard, he didn't identify himself. He was at the bar as a customer and the bar owner knew him and asked him to try to help break up the fight. He was then knocked down by the group that was fighting. After that, your guess is as good as mine. Some say he hit his head when he fell, some say he was punched and some say he was kicked while he was on the ground. Either way, they found him unconscious on the street.
