It’s a plastic hollow bat on a motorcycle helmet.

A tap on the helmet is a common way to get a riders attention when they’re on a loud bike and the other person also has a helmet muffling their voice.

I trust the guy in the video to know what is acceptable in his area.

"A tap". The guy full on grappled some of them. Sure, it is probably considered "normal" in the area, but that doesn't have anything to do with your comment, does it? You're deliberately misrepresenting the inherently violent encounters to paint cultures you don't like as uniquely violent, which is pretty shitty and hypocritical. It is not a "cultural thing" to anticipate others reacting violently when attacked.
