Yes, saw it a little earlier today. It absolutely beggars belief. I am unable to comprehend a culture that allows anyone in uniform to think it’s acceptable to beat a man senseless with a baton, while he is restrained and prone on the ground. The things people do, especially the things we do in any official capacity, don’t occur at random. They arise from our ingrained sense of what’s proportionate, what’s acceptable or at the very least what we think we can safely get away with.
And this wasn’t a ‘bad apple’ incident. There were *five* of them, and the bloke with the baton clearly decided what he was going to do with it and went ahead with some determination, while the rest of them actively facilitated it and then conspired to spin the story in an acceptable light afterwards.
