Continuity mistake: When Ajax is face to face with the Baseball Fury, the Fury extends his arm and the bat sides down to the handle. From the back angle, he is choked down a little on the bat grip. There is space between his hand and the knot on the bottom of the bat grip. They then show the front angle where his hand is all the way down at the bottom of the grip area. They again show the back angle, and he one again is choked down a little on the grip.
Other mistake: When Cyrus is shot by Luther, leader of the Rogues, he is shown at the wide angle, as slumping backward by the force of the shot. But in the following shot, unrealistically 'busts' backwards through the wooden platform behind him. Purely for dramatic cinematic purposes, when he should have just slumped to the floor.
Answer: The Riffs were informed of the Warriors' innocence of wrongdoing by a member of another gang who had no reason to lie on behalf of the Warriors or to frame Luther (the actual culprit). Apparently Luther had a reputation for dishonesty, among other things, whereas the Warriors were considered to be among the city's more "honorable" gangs.
