Yeah, sure. The cops are all authorized to decide for themselves what the citizens deserve to get.
Cops(and this cop) are charged with upholding the law. This includes stopping a motorist who was violating the law. That's not a personal decision it is what a cop is assigned to do. It is something they are involved in on a daily basis and I'm sure they have soon heard all the answers and excuses of lawbreakers.

Sure there are chances for a cop to use different approaches to subdue a suspected law breaker who refuses to comply and refuses to submit to being placed in custody. Just think of the chaos that would ensue if every law breaker acted the same way? I'll add that sometimes a cops judgement might not suit the U-Tube viewers version. But he/she has to make the decision, most often in a few minutes.

I'm reminded of scenes of riot we see on the tube...cops trying to maintain order as bottles are thrown, cars torched and windows broken...why? Because rioters think they are right and have done nothing wrong? There is a similarity here zee.


Thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.
