“The potential threat he posed being entirely neutralized is the end of the situation.”
Interesting that you think a person that is not resisting arrest should be neutralized by beating him up.

No, I think someone who has posed such a threat, a violent one, might still be a threat and only "playing possum." Despite the person doing a 180 in their behavior to suddenly "act good," they might totally do another 180. Quite a few prison guards have been killed or maimed by trusting to the docility of a prisoner a little to much.
