Yes its terrible that the police don't have the right to beat suspects during the process of detaining them... Criminals having more "rights" then police? Seriously? |
Well.. first of all.. there's no such things as 'safe' restraint..
Secondly.. if you're trying to detain someone, and they dont want to be detained and become violent, what are you supposed to do, just walk away and let them go?
I'm not saying beating people is the answer, but the chances are, in a struggle, someones gonna get hurt. If you dont struggle, dont resist the detention, then you're not gonna get hurt.. simple really.
