Right….Honest THOUGHTS on this? Was this Excessive Force?

Nope. One officer had a broken jaw, the other a concussion. If people try to say this was excessive… well, I don’t know what to say.

The officer went on to spray the people filming the whole incident with pepper spray as well.

There was no need to hit him with the cuffs. He’s already on the floor by then I think the cop let his anger get to him and that’s not professional

Seemed to enjoy it when he was hitting him with the cuffs

I mean he might as well have hit him with knuckle dusters tbh because it’s not much different

Pretty much did really didn’t he

Yeah exactly. I mean the cuffs are probably sharper

I used to be a huge supporter of the police. Nowadays, I watch these and find myself wondering exactly at which point I'd intervene for maximum damage against them.

The police used to get a lot of respect and trust but all that’s gone now and sadly they have only themselves to blame.

This is only a short clip. He was stopped on a drugs search and attacked the police officers, breaking the jaw of one of them. So no, it wasn't excessive force.

Saying that in the US the police are no nonsense and if you don’t comply they will take you down pretty hard.

Yes. Like having a knuckle duster on that copper needs brought to justice

Seemed over the top and looked like he just losted it

Once he’s on the ground, you can’t then use handcuffs as dusters. I should imagine he deserves a smack and a wrongun…..but, you can’t use this type of force once you’ve got him subdued. Unless he had a weapon I didn’t see?

Did seem way over the top once the guy was on the ground especially using g the handcuffs as knuckle dusters was over the top.

It was. And, he has every right to sue.

I hadn't seen the full context of this event in other posts. Yeah those punches are dangerous the guy's on a rampage. Justifiable force here I think.

No, you wanna throw hands you gonna get them thrown back in equal measure s.117 style.

No not if he’s being aggressive and fighting like fuck !! Fight fire with fire 🔥

Where was the earlier part when the perpetrator began assaulting the officers? They needed to restrain him,yes it’s proportionate. Let’s not do what happened at Manchester airport blaming the police when the thugs were guilty in fact.

The clown being arrested fucked around and found out. Copper or not, there’s no law in the land that negates the right to self defence. Excessive would be tap dancing on his head. Using approved training methods to subdue someone who is being violent/resisting, isnt.

POLICE ARE 100% CORRECT. PEOPLE WILL LEARN . BRING BACK POLICE DOGS ON THE STREETS. @METP

No, he's throwing punches at the police and not complying

Was this a justified level of force or Excessive?

Yes, I have had quick a few fights in my time, and a trained fighter takes the arm that is offered, there were two officers and he only had two arms, now to the use of the cuffs as a knuckleduster, that's no no, what are they teaching these clowns before letting them lose of the streets. DEI and other rubbish.

I’m just wondering if that technique of smashing someone in the face with metal handcuffs is in the police training manual, unfcukingbelievably thuggish behaviour, hope that copper is being investigated

In Italy they have batons about three feet long that they can hit you with, in Italy this scum bag would have been beaten until he was unconscious.

Punch a cop? FAFO

No issue with it, you deserve whatever you get when you fight with police.

No not enough force to be honest should have knocked him out sooner or tased the prick

Well one he is white so different laws for different people Using cuffs as a weapon that's intent I hope the old Bill are heald accountable for there actions But it will be brushed under the carpet like poor Henry.

Just shows how terribly difficult it is to detain and arrest someone who is non compliant. Asking politely is clearly not going to work so what should the police do? Just let them go? That’s what it’s coming to?

Watching white men beat other white men in 2026... Sad.

He was using the handcuffs as a knuckle duster to his head!

Fair play to the old bill as far as I'm concerned.

If you are swinging punches at the police expect nothing less back.

Excessive force? That little scruff broke 2 officers jaw. Who gives a fuck if they beat him. As if law and order are excessive force. Left wing mongos have let our country slide into turmoil and backwards thinking.

Live by the sword die by the sword!

At first glance, and presuming the guy was violent to begin with I’d say the take-down was justified. Context matters there. But everything done while the guy was in the floor was straight up, 100% Police brutality.

Im no friend of over handed police on power trips but this guy got what he was looking for. He wanted a fight and got one.Although they are expected to hold back when provoked, personal safety comes first.

I think if ya gonna throw big ens at the coppers expect a fuckin dig back ya clown... can't stand cunts who play victim as soon as they're caught.

Nope , if your going to go toe to toe with a copper . Be prepared to have a fight . Like someone was shouting , it's over a splif . So why try to fight them ?

Yes using the handcuffs as a weapon
