That said, these things happen, it was wrong and he admits that. Not sure I could handle some of the crap which is hurled in those situations. I think restraint is easier said than done.
There is also the 'police can do no wrong' factor. No matter what, they are considered to be in the right. That is why they should be paid properly, have good leadership and given the means to do their job properly, whether that means the right equipment or effective laws. In many cases the laws exist but the courts are so wishy washy in the way they apply them that the criminals laugh all the way home.
