If you're going to intervene you had better know the law otherwise you're going to end up in prison like the yahoos who killed Ahmed Aubrey or worse.

If you use excessive force you can find yourself in trouble, but if you act in good faith you really have nothing to worry about from a legal standpoint. There are risks to intervening but they can be mitigated. Often telling the involved parties that you are filming them and calling 911 will shut it down, and often if one person interjects themselves others will follow.
