*Detroit police officers were injured and multiple people were arrested following a brawl outside Greektown Casino this weekend.
A video posted on social media showed complete chaos as cops attempted to break up a fight involving dozens of people. Vastly outnumbered, law enforcement in the fight can be seen wrestling with several people. Some officers who were spotted handcuffing suspects in the video were still being swarmed by other people.
The minute-long clip also showed officers trying in vain to establish some kind of perimeter as they worked to get the scene under control.
