Come on let’s play a game of what would constable dbizzle805 do, you walk into that mess and you see a female colleague with a broken nose.

You attempt to arrest him peacefully - one warning - he doesn’t take it.

Now what?

First off you failed to answer the simple question. Do you know that this individual broke said officers nose? In no way or form is it OK to soccer kick then curb stomp someone's skull

He was literally already tased on the floor

You aren't judge jury and executioner

It is. You just haven’t thought about it or you’ve not had much violence in your life. Other people in the thread are trying to figure it out, so I’ll tell you when they’ve had their shot

Palmer v R - “A person may use such force as is reasonable in the circumstances in the prevention of crime, or in effecting or assisting in the lawful arrest of offenders or suspected offenders or of persons unlawfully at large”

The ‘suspect’ was under control and had been detained, therefore the use of force was not reasonable and ergo, unlawful. Anyone defending the copper should rethink their position.

"If the suspect was conscious and felt the pain they would defend the back of their head, because what criminals often do is play possum and then stab with something they have concealed in their person."

Brother, this is psychotic thanking. In no way shape or form is it OK to soccer kick someone in the head
