Where have they been made out to be sweet or innocent?
It doesn't change mine. He deserved to be arrested and there was no way he should be assaulting one police officer, let alone 3. He's an absolute tit for doing what he did.
It still doesn't change my view that he shouldn't be kicked or stamped in the head, after being tasered.
The Taser did enough damage for him to be arrested.
People might like the act of revenge for punching a police officer. But a police officer and colleague should be thinking cleared than to kick/stamp when the risk has been mitigated.
I still maintain that if the offender was up and actually looked threatening (and not seized up after being tasered) then I'd have a different view. But he was no threat at the time of the kick and stamp.
