I doubt it. If he was doing such a thing, they’d have him in cuffs the very same second

Riot cops aren't exactly soft hearted but they aren't that bad. Dude in a suit jacket and with a laptop bag doesn't exactly represent a threat to the 250lbs, 6ft3 armoured riot cop

Have you seen what riot cops do in the US? Nearly this exact same scenario resulted in a Navy veteran being immediately beaten with batons...

European police still serve a corrupt establishment but they aren't as heartless as US police.

i mean no full system can be heartless it’s just a couple more bad ones in the us than in europe

every single cop i’ve met in the us has been one of the nicest people ever yet a few bad ones leads to a terrible reputation for them all
