An officer who was filmed apparently pushing a man to the ground
The video footage showed him being apparently struck by a baton and then pushed to the ground.
Apparently video evidence isn't convincing enough for the bbc...

sorry, what's irrational about hating those who time and time again, get away with violent acts towards people it is their job to protect? In some cases those instances lead to the death of innocent people. This murdering pig scum, is going to get away with killing an innocent man. Just because he's a copper. Does this not make you angry?

It's certainly an issue of injustice, but you make it sound like the Officer got away with attempted murder, which we both know is not the case. Would you be as infuriated if one of your friends tripped somebody as a joke, only to have that person suffer a heart attack and die?
The contempt you feel for law enforcement officials is impacting your ability to reason and makes your views on the matter come across as bias.
