Sickening; personally I thought the video was pretty unequivocal in it's display of his misconduct. However, ROE can never obviate an individual's 'human right' to self defence, if they feel there is a threat to human life, theirs or someone else's. This is not subject to the 'reasonable man' test, purely whether the individual in question truly believed it.

After all, a female demonstrator in street-clothes carrying an open orange-juice carton is clearly enough of a risk to an adult male officer to justify striking the [much] smaller "opponent" with a metal baton

Metal baton? is that really dangerous or it is effective to use in a fight?
