That was my opinion. However one of them was alleged at a recent trial to have hit and injured a policewoman with a sledgehammer.

The accused person claims to have panicked due to how the police were interfering. If I understand the article correctly the cop was off work for three months due to the injury.

I hadn't seen that video. Now that i have, I am none the wiser.
