The case was heard and a decision made.

Personally, I think it's not a good use of public funds to pay the compensation as oppose to..say using it to fund some proper training in these specific cases..and I think this case was 'unique'. If the police feel that this court decision is wrong then I do think they should take it to appeal..not merely to 'clear' them...but to create awareness..I'm sure that is best for everyone..especially the young man himself
As I say..a 'unique' case and under the circumstances, I think the police did as well as they could..as the judge said..and if there was any unessacary 'restraint'..I'm sure it was from ignorance of how to handle it differently...the verdict seems harsh and..pointless tbh...and it's a shame because we need good policing in this country....and I don't see any bad policing here....which the judge stated too
