Posted by Alistair Heron The police frequently assault people without provocation and the fact that this person was sprayed in the face with CS gas is no evidence that he is guilty of anything. As for 'thinking he is better than the officer', it is usually the police who are tainted with a mis-placed sense of their own importance. As an illustration, I once asked a copper in Soho why he was detaining someone using what was clearly exessive force. His answer: 'I can use as much force as I want to!' Arrogant, and wrong, as I very much hope a civil court later told him.
