#1 It really makes you wonder how many others this has happened to. The UK is a dying society -- the police have become the thugs. Clockwork Orange.

#4 Watched the video (no sound chip on my computer) and it is unclear what transpired. It looks like the vet apparently taunted them. He was admittedly drunk and they went after him. But the three of them either couldn't subdue or cuff him or chose to rough him up before doing so. With sound it might be more informative.

I've found it doesn't usually pay to let the cops know what you really think. Sometimes it's better to save those thoughts for the comments section at a blog.

Well, unless you're a muzzie in the UK, then you apparently get discretion rather than action from the constables.

#7 Easy solution not to be beaten up by the police of any country: Do Not Resist.

"...he moves his arm free in self defense."

Moronic reporting. There is no such thing against the police. Submit, plead your case at the right time, get off.
