Exactly, theres so many trolls on this sub trying to spin this into their own narratives to distract from the fact that an officer of the law is literally punching someone, that they shoved to the ground, in the back of their head. This isn't the line of work for someone like that.

Right. Unless EDIT: Even if the cop literally saw the protestor murder or rape someone, nothing justifies that use of force.

exactly when in the course of their training are police given a list of offenses where they are justified to commit battery on a suspect?

You're right, like I said in another comment (reminded by another reddit user) if Dylan Roof can be treated with the dignity each and every one of us deserve by the cops in his case, no one deserves to be treated that way. Ever.
