I think it's pretty disgraceful the cops were given the Grand Inquisition treatment for just doing their jobs.
Unless some of the onlookers complained, there was no evidence whatsoever of undue force being used. Why where they castigated for subduing a violet man, then? Political purposes??
If we want police to do their job, we have to let them. If we start making them think twice before they act, very soon we will run out of trained police.
Same applies to miltary. Let 'em do what they are trained for, instead of letting them wonder whether they are gonna get a courtmartial just for following the rules.
Ok, I'm done.
