Disproportionate use of force at the very least.

But once again the Politicos will bleat that "this was not what we intended when we passed the legislation"

The police are running free with untold and previously undreamed of powers granted to them by nulabour over the past 12 years.

It will take a revolution of some sort to bring them back under control. They have lost sight of the fact that we are policed with our consent.

Agreed...

We are seeing too many videos like this for it to be 'isolated incidents'. The police seem to believe themselves above the law and are completely out of control...  noooo:
