It's hard as police do have to walk a fine line. Yeah, looking at this particular incident, it could have been handled much better.
There are some bullies in the police force who love having that power and being able too dish out physical pain on another person is an aphrodisiac. Then again there are police men and women who are on the edge, working shifts that their body clocks haven't adjusted to properly and are in need of some chill time. This is not handled properly buy the admin and a normally good policeman or woman can react in a way that's out of character.
