Eh, I am not sure. Cops afraid to arrest people for fear of being sued - why have cops then? And in the pictures i've seen there are at least 5 or more cops at every scene - more than enough to witness. On a saturday night in London, officers are almost always patrolling with a partner, it is very rare to see one alone. This is mainly for backup purposes in case an officer is ambushed, overwhelmed etc. And i've seen plenty of young people being booked for violence while drunk. The drunk and loud they usually leave alone, unless they being a genuine nuisance. But I mean what kinda club has its patrons leaving sober and quietly at 3am?
