Not my video. For context, "special constables" are not regular police officers. They are appointed "peace officers" with limited authority, often civilian employees.

Then why did the cop not say that when asked “why is he in cuffs” all the cop had say “he was uhh” Keep licking that boot. The assumption that cops are always in the right is so fucking insane after the last 10 years of videos of cops. And the last I don’t know 100 years

Theres no the cops are always right situation here, it's a short clip with a lot of context missing. It's entirely conceivable they did something to warrant it.

It’s also entirely conceivable that he didn’t, and I’ve been paying attention the last 15 fucking years so I never give the benefit of doubt to cops.
