Many years ago, before I was much interested in politics/activism etc. I was waiting in town for Colin to collect me from work - this was when I worked in a big store. Something happened very quickly, so I can't really remember how it started, but a youngish chap appeared from the store and 9 policeman chased out after him and caught him. They threw him to the ground, and jumped on him. They had knees in his kidney area, elbows on his neck against the ground etc. The chap did struggle, and they got more violent. They had him in handcuffs, and they still struggled violently with him, and even hit him. I don't know what this chap had done, although I suspect it was thieving and running away from arrest. The force the police used on him was way beyond anything that was necessary to detain him. I was disgusted with them. It isn't until you actually witness the police behaving in a less than ideal way, that you start to realise that things are not as they should be.
