I’m sorry if you feel that way, I worded it like that because that is what I was doing. I’ve had 2 days to think about it and then been able, after a very nice relaxing Saturday, to have the luxury of watching the longer video several times sat in TJO Towers, actually drinking tea, and considering what happened.
I think the officer probably will be charged and a court will have to decide.
Whether I think it is acceptable or not is irrelevant, I get to sit in my armchair and comment on the news, sipping tea and dunking biscuits, whilst the police officer gets to have 7 bells knocked out of him and then whilst seeing stars and possibly concussed, get to make a split second judgement on the use of reasonable force.
