The question is whether the actions of the Police were lawful and legal? The civilian suspects are not innocent and the above footage is damning – doing their cause no good whatsoever. However, even if the behaviour of the suspects was violsnt and threatening, does this mean that the Police can do anything they want? The answer is no. Just as soldiers and NHS staff – both employees of the government (as Civil Servants) – are expected to conform to strict levels of discipline – so are serving Police officers.
