Original Note:
The man doesn’t just point at the officers. He is argumentative, confrontational and when pointing says ‘touch me again’ which implies there will be response, which could be taken as a threat. Theres also no context to why the confrontation occurs https://peoplesafe.co.uk/blogs/what-counts-as-reasonable-force-when-defending-yourself/#:~:text=You%20are%20allowed%20to%20use%20pre%2Demptive%20force%20to%20stop,act%20first%20to%20restrain%20them.
