At the time, no, and they didn't seem very upset about it either. But in fairness - and you will rarely see me defending any cop of any kind:

I saw from the story this video came from that they complained after the fact-- knowing they were also on the incriminating video not doing a damn thing to stop an assault by their fellow public servant while it was in progress.

That does little good to victims being harmed at the moment. The time to stop their guy had long passed.
