> Sounds like he engaged in violence

Seems that you didn’t read the article you have linked or your definition of engaging in violence is rather obtuse.

Surely you would not equate standing still when a policeman orders you to move and then resisting when they to forcibly move you to murdering a random person for no particular reason? Nor would you agree that the second violent offense deserves a significantly more lenient punishment than the first?
