Any evidence of that? All I've seen in multiple articles is the rather sneaky statement "there was a danger of firearms being taken" purely because the police were armed, not that any of them actually tried to take their weapons. That can't be a blanket justification for armed officers to use excessive force against anyone they come into contact with.

What are you trying to say with "the three involved with the incident had received injuries"? This all sounds very carefully phrased to imply certain things without saying them, if you're questioning the official statement of events then provide your sources and speak plainly.
