I was suspicious about the idea that cops were getting called over popcorn, and wouldn't you know it, there's more context:

In another video with police involvement, embedded below, an officer says that a group "body slammed" a theater employee. (Theater employees are understandably not loving the situation.)

At least one person has even brandished a live chicken in a theater at that moment.

Also the idea that large teenagers intentionally dumping whole buckets of popcorn is the same as what a six-year-old spills accidentally is just stupid on its face. If you think you're old enough to vape, you're old enough to not be an asshole.
