.....Absolutely no doubt.
But you have to ask :
What was going on for police to be called in the first place ?
What sort of man breaks a women's nose ?
Would these men caused trouble if they had known the police would have reacted so forcibly ?
In my youth the Police were respected, now they're seen as fair game for some. However wrong, it was bloody terrible, that kick was sometimes you get more than you bargain for.

My thoughts exactly but it possibly stems back to lack of discipline at school and in the home to behave like that ?
Like lot of ‘selfish and questionable attitudes’’ these days, and there’s little or no respect for the Police or for other members of society in general anyway.
The decline in behaviour is getting worse by the year.
The emergency services of all types often face a torrent of abuse and physical violence when just trying to do their already (at times) very difficult job.
Even Andy Burnham is being cautious in what he says at the moment and that speaks volumes.
Yet straight away we have a human rights lawyer involved. citing Police brutality, as brain injury, and presumably they are after a mega pay day for his client ?
I don’t blame the copper for using excessive force from what I know, given 3 of his colleagues had already been punched to the ground, and the female officer had her nose broken as well.
I hope it’s found his actions were partially justified because of the threat being posed, because if not, it’s another green light for yet more anti social behaviour everywhere, and it’s already pretty bad almost everywhere already !!
You only have to look at the carnage that unfolded in Leeds last week. It was just an excuse to cause utter mayhem, and I’m assuming it was by people with nothing better to do, becausr the different ethnicities involved won’t surely have all supported a Gypsy family to that degree ?
Were constantly told that Police morale is at an all time low and officers are leaving in droves.
Some of that can be explained by the top brass who told the Coppers to do nothing in London and elsewhere while vile individuals swarmed all over war memorials chanting terrorist threats and putting up Palestinian flags.
Never in my lifetime did the thin blue line look this thin right now ! Seems like we’re on the verge of anarchy
