Police Brutality?

Police in Nottingham appear to punch a suspect three times during an arrest, and taser him at least twice. Is this too much? How far should UK police be allowed to go?

The susepct is apparently accused of GBH (Grievous Bodily Harm) e.g stabbing, but does this excuse the police's actions, bearing in mind that in the UK a policy of "Innocent until proven guilty" is upheld.

@stephenthomas15 If youve been tasered your muscles contract, then there completely weak after, thats the point of the weapon, im suprised he could even lift his arms up after the first shot. Its 50,000 volts minimum they use, its a burning sensation all over your body, very painfull and there was no need to punch him 3 times in the head, police like that are a waste of tax payers money!

Makes you proud to be british. The police having to deal with pissed up violent idiots drinking too much cheap booze..then criticised by random fools who have no idea, always think it should have been dealt with different and screaming the well overused soundbite of 'police brutality''

[stevee504]

Y r all british ppl fuked seriously we aussies respect the police and they respect us is it that hard to respect an officer??

Yeah they should have just left him alone. Bouncers would have kicked his ass then he would have stumbled into traffic. Also I'd rather be tased than sprayed any day.
