Original Note:
NNN Regardless of whether the suspect attacked the police, UK law states that officers may use “only as much force as they need to arrest you. It must be the minimum – no more.” In the video, the suspect was clearly already neutralized when additional force was used. https://www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/advice_information/police-powers-of-arrest-2/#page-section-8
