Yeah it's the classic damned if you do damn if you didn't scenario.
I remember reading news about an old Indian man in America who was reported to be 'snooping around' by some concerned neighbors and then since he didn't understand English and comply with the police officers ended up in a hospital paraplegic (1). People condemned the police for being too harsh and making mountain out of a molehill situation.

A 58 year old skinny man in handcuffs versus 2 young policemen. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/police-chief-guilty-contempt-sureshbhai-patel-excessive-force-case-resigns-n685906 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/police-chief-guil...
- trianglem 6y agoBullshit, he was a frail old man and there was absolutely no justification for this. Nice try at painting it like the cops hands were tied.
