With our horseshit laws on what they can and can't do its pretty sad. Not to mention all the TV crews and people there to capture it on video. Should have just shot the guy, thrown him in a dumpster and saved taxpayers money.
I think American cops have it pretty easy. They can use tazers pretty much on will, and lots of other things that wouldn't pass in Europe or somewhere else.
But to be fair, cops have even free'er hands in South America I would think, or in Russia, also maybe parts of Africa and Asia...
