'All arrests involve some kind of force and pressing someone even in the face throughout a battle is not constantly intentional and even if it is its part and parcel in lots of arrests when restraining a suspect. No arrest lacks some sort of force.

'I'm sick and sick of officers being disciplined for things like this and I think the majority of the public would believe this is definitely bonkers.

'Many senior officers kowtow to the consistent criticism of the police in a sort of appeasement and typically toss officers under the bus or to the wolves as sacrificial lambs. Cases like this are more most likely to discourage people from joining the police.'
