No need to twist your words, they are twisted in the first place.

Yea, I get that. I've been to the auld sod plenty of times and it is a different mindset. For instance, I don't get why holligans get all wound up over a football match. The only time you see such things arise here in the US is when a team wins a championship...and it is over, rather quickly. One or two days on the news and people move on.
In this instance, I think that the OP was trying to push buttons. If it wasn't for ATS, I never knew it would have happened. Which is sad to a degree, but predictable. People just want to know what is going on in their corner of the world.

the problem here is the grade of human being that are hired to be police officers.
Do you guys know any cops? Did you know them growing up?
I do, and i did.
These guys were the little guys in high school. Pushed into lockers. Lunch trays tipped. Unwilling (not incapable) to defend themselves. Awkward around the opposite sex.
Just a week or so ago, i saw a Sheriff in my hometown that i recognized. He was directing traffic for the first week of school. I remember him well from when we were in school ourselves.
He tried out for the football team. Not because he was good at football, but because he wanted to fit in. Severely overweight even as a child, he sat down and cried the first day of football practice after taking a helmet to helmet hit.
I felt sorry for him. Today, he is a sheriff. Pistol on hip, cocked and loaded. Ready to dispense 'justice'.
i know more than a few of these in my own hometown.
Another one we called Keebler (even i called him Keebler, as much as i regret it). Keebler got his name for having big , pointy ears like an elf. The bullies used to snatch his ears when he was walking down the hall. He was undersized for his age, and still is today. The difference? The 'justice dispenser' on his hip. I'm sure the memories of his torment are fresh on his mind even today.
These are just two of the 6 or 8 that i know personally. I'm sure the rest of the force went to another school across town. I'm sure there is someone out there that has seen them, and recognize them from their own childhood, and remember the cloth these 'cops' were cut from when they were kids.
Cowards. All of them. Which is FINE in life. It's ok to be a coward if it makes you feel better. Its ok to be a nerd, or to be afraid. It's ok to be fat, or too small.
But these people shouldn't be cops.

Because stereotyping every single Officer makes your argument valid... I know several guys who want nothing more than to be someones hero. Yeah there are rotten apples... I dont think the officer in question is a rotten apple. I believe he did everything he could to keep the situation from escalating.

so why not defend himself without the use of a weapon?
I'm guessing he's never been in a real fight. Not one where he had the courage to fight back.
A safe assumption would be that he dosn't know how to defend himself without his hand cannon.
Police officers should be heroes. Braver, stronger, and even smarter than the average man. But this isn't the case.
