Further evidence of the police taking the law into their own hands, assaulting members of the public and then doing everything to cover it up.
This is a young white lad with a persistent mum with the means to hire a good solicitor.
How often are young black and brown men given similar treatment, admittedly without the same consequences, and the officers just walk away having broken the law?
We need much better vetting processes and TRULY independent oversight committees with actual teeth if the police services in the UK are ever to improve.

>But the police report stated he had “dropped his body weight while resisting handcuffs” and the injury was a result of “his own sudden downward movement”.
Are they trying to blame him for responding to gravity?

Jesus, that was a hard watch. It doesn’t matter what kind of a knob he was being, police are there to ensure safety even for the people they are arresting. Leading him to a spike fence and then pushing him down should have been obvious an injury like this could happen.
This is bad policing in multiple ways. I don’t believe it was malicious from the footage but the result is severe and it doesn’t matter as police had a duty of care which they failed in

Clearly just an accident as a result of resisting arrest
