Would you stop, or do you think a civilian would cause more harm than good? As a LEO, would you trust a person that obviously supports them?
I probably would try to stay out of their way, but more because it looks like they had it in hand and I'd not be much help (don't currently CC). If it was a wrestling match, I might try to assist, but a standoff, probably not.

However, if I saw an officer in the road with a gun pointed, I'd probably stop behind the line of fire (but not with officer between the guy and me, so I wasn't in a potential line of fire).
