How long before American high-school football players force a ref to do this??

In light of the increasing on-field attacks of American football referees in high schools in at least two states, I saw a video of an incident in a Brazilian soccer match.

An amateur match had to be stopped and the referee taken for psychological evaluation when, after he was attacked, he drew a gun at some of the players on the pitch, according to this video from the Guardian.

The ref had apparently been kicked and punched by at least one player (even though that is a black-letter abandonment/forfeiture offense!), and the ref (a policeman) decided to go on duty at that moment.
