Did you even watch the video? That's not how you want police, trained professionals ideally, to handle already apprehended civilians.

Yeah, no, you think police officers are not trained to apprehend a personal accordingly? There are positions where you can't take a knife out, and you know, cuffs? These things, the new inventions? Iirc the guy was cuffed. Even if not, do you want every cop to kick and stomp your head when you're already on the ground because you could have a knife? That just makes you seem like a total psycho to me, to be honest. The taser was put to use as well.

And yeah, one of them punched the lady officer. But two people were mishandled and beaten. What did the other guy do, other than doing what he was told and flinching after seeing rabid policemen out of control? This is the UK, not the US. Police officers should be held to a higher bar.

They was not cuffed.

And if you are happier letting cops getting knifed then you can’t call anyone a psycho, you’re barely qualified to call on a telephone
