West Midlands police is investigating after a video emerged appearing to show a football fan being pushed to the floor by an officer. http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/watch-police-pushed-birmingham-city-12116690 The comment section is full of people calling for the officer to be sacked, calling the push police brutality. However watching the video the "push" did not appear to be that forceful, and the man did appear to get in the way of the officer. Will be interested to see what the outcome of this is.

From what I've heard, most forces don't issue tasers to anyone on response at all (or if they did, it's to …
