Why? It looked perfectly reasonable for the policeman to state the bloody obvious to protect the loony. Oh for God's sake! You'd think media was truth these days. In times of stress offence will be caused.
It depends on the circumstances but society (and media) are incapable of any depth of thought or coverage. And politicians only care about getting or alienating votes. It's SO easy to simplify. And so dangerous, as 90% of us are lemmings.
The big mistake was for the film makers to put up the whole 13 minute video. Anybody watching it now sees through the dialogue and thinks the cop behaved fine and the provoker (and his film crew) was indeed a threat to public order in search for sympathy.
