So this video is on the BBC.

The person looks to me like he is a little intoxicated, but was apparently a bystander and not a suspect. The police at least did not shoot him, but it has hard to believe they could not have managed this without this level of violence given the number of officers and the apparent incapacity of the person.
What particularly disturbs me is the comment by the spokesman saying blows to the head will no longer be allowed unless people are being aggressive with the police. Does this mean that upto now the police have been allowed to hit people who are not being aggressive? If I was a smart lawyer i would be ensuring that the police were sued for post concussion brain damage. The evidence that blows to the head can cause brain damage is now so great that I would expect all police to have explicit rules that if possible people should never have blows to the head. The level of violence is massive, in a boxing ring the cop would have been pulled off as his opponent is 'on the ropes'. You can clearly see how the head bounces off the wall behind after being hit; this is very high risk for brain injury.
