a punching ball + follow up-violence from the same police officer.
This was an incident that took place in Rotterdam, Netherlands, early this summer, and that has caused some media uproar there.
Now, I have three guys who keep arguing the police officer did nothing wrong. I know at least two of them are strong, staunch Trump-supporters (although they can't vote for him, as they are Scandinavians and live there, not in the US).
They see no middle ground, no nuances of grey in the situation - no need to think that the officer could have handled the woman with a different, safer form of physical force or other (maze comes to mind, or baton punches to the core of the body, leg muscles etc - not the face, or other parts of the head).
Is there any helpful media article or YouTube-clip or the like that I can present in this debate, to make default conservative guys who always support authorities use of force (although strangely not their use of taxation and force behind that) against individuals realize that it's not ok to use whichever level of force in non-life-threatening situations.. ?
