They have now faced an irregular behavior against the man at the center of the incident.
The internal investigation of the arrest, which was supervised by the Corruption and Crime Commission, found that the man’s TAE was guaranteed, but it was extreme to push it to the ground.
Blanch said that you pushed them when one of the police training is close to you.
“We have seen a few events that we deal with with people who were largely affected by alcohol, and the push actually caused them to fall,” he said.
“What we look at right now is education for our officers to use this tactic, because this is a trained tactic – I want to be very clear – we train the police to remove people with two open -handed.
“I think you need to talk, when is it excessive? What does a person really threaten? And you should make these decisions in seconds.
“The balance between going home as a police officer and going home without being injured and respect, compassion and care with respect when too much substances are affected.”
Blanch said that the police are easy to criticize ve and that the use of power always looks bad in the video ”.
“If they did it with the right intention, we do not demonize the police because they made the wrong decision,” he said.
“When it is wrong, we will have it wrong. We will have extreme. We will change our education regime and train these officers.”
