That’s sort of fuzzy though, isn’t it? Where’s the boundary on a punch or a kick in the aftermath of a struggle with someone who just scared the shit out of you in a grapple? You play Monday morning QB on that. I won’t unless it is way over the top.
Are you kidding?
You want cops to beat the guys that scare them?
I have never done the things that you want cops to do, why have I always been able to play by the rules in bar fights and other fights, and cops can’t, even though they are uniformed, and on duty, and usually have a mob of other cops and the guy is handcuffed?
You are defending scummy guys that like to play tough guy, but only when they have the upper hand, let these cops go to the bars off duty, to do their beatings and tough guy act.
