I just want to get this straight. Basically what you are saying that is that a police officer, if he even thinks that someone is doing something questionable, is perfectly justified in attacking another person. Did I miss anything?

i love your use of language here.

"...thinks someone is doing something..." yes, that is called probable cause. it's in all the law books. criminals don't usually commit crimes right in front of cops.

"...something questionable..." well, yeah, that's called a crime.

"...attacking..." this is called controlling a suspect who is being very uncooperative and refusing to follow orders after he has been detained for an investigation that is the result of probable cause.

now go ahead and yell because i used the term "follow orders" but that is what officers give.
