UK police can be absolute shits too. Policing as a profession can attract people who absolutely should not have power over others, and the culture within the police can promote pretty fucked up attitudes in ppreviously decent people; it’s qualitatively the same pernicious problems that we see in the US, albeit to a much milder degree.
General condemnation of the police aside, I’m glad to see how this particular incident was handled.
Wild seeing police do anything constructive.
They’re not US police. That’s probably why the video didn’t end in everyone getting shot.

Actually, shortly after the recording was stopped some vacationing US cops heard an acorn drop nearby and shot 2 cyclists and one UK officer
Naturally. What else would you expect?
