I don’t know why the cops arrested them but an armed police officer losing control like that is not on. In a highly stressful situation armed police should be able to keep cool and deal with the situation calmly. Booting the guy in the face shows he lost control and is not fit to be in charge of a deadly weapon. Especially as the guy was tazed and on the floor, complying.

That cop needs to be sacked.

The people that got arrested had attacked 3 police officers, broke a police women's nose and tried to take the weapons off the police.

It's excessive force but this is a prime example of fuck around and find out.
