From the audio it sounds like he also called 911. Calling the cops and recording the crime is really all most people can do. If you don't have a weapon (which almost nobody in DC is allowed to have) and you don't have barehanded skills, you're likely to make the situation worse.

To everyone who does step in, you're a good person, but I don't fault someone for not wanting to risk their own life to save a stranger. Calling the cops and recording it was more than the other bystanders did.

Yep. Say he stepped in, hog tied the girl in the drivers seat and held her down until police arrived there is 99.9997% chance some other bystander tapes that and then the media would be plastered with “white supremacist chokes innocent black teenage girl” followed by him getting fired with his company issuing a statement like “we here at XYZ Corp take diversity and inclusion seriously and so that terrible man has been fired.” The society is rotten.

About 5 years ago in DC there was a murder on the DC Metro around the 4th of July. A black dude who was out of jail pending trial for some pretty serious charges tried to steal the phone of a white guy on the metro. The white guy resisted and the black dude stabbed him about 50 times. The train car had over a dozen people in it and nobody even tried to help the dude.

The prevailing narrative following the accident was that the victim should have just given up his phone.

I can only imagine the shitstorm that would have followed if a good Samaritan ended that piece of shit when he pulled his knife on the victim.
