Police officer used reasonable force to deal with the threat to his feelings!

Great write up though - subject was found to be unconscious.

Next write up - 3 police officers shoot an unarmed civilian - subject seen bleeding profusely from bullet wounds, source of bullets not known.

I guess sparring with fellow police officers in the gym with soft mats and slamming them to the ground does no harm.
A 70 year old on the roadway though, might do some damage.

I bet that isn't in the training manual.
