Agree!!!
Unless you have access to the full reports of the incident, it is easy for the Press to present a story that may appear "contentious".
On the other hand, this shows what appears to be a total inabilty of some officer/s to "relate" in a situation and "manage" this. The use of any "weapons" is absurd and too convenient. It is also understandable the "perp" may be "perturbed" - if he commits "public order" offenses, he needs to be arrested. But there is a balanced judgement level somewhere that calls for "a quiet word and explanation that this is for his own good". If that fails - it's a "this is how it is" and he is in line for an arrest. At the end of the day... it's a matter of judgement with the officers on the ground - a lot relies on their judgement. They got a load of shit on their plate - and so have some folks affected by this storm.
Gotta go!!
