Arbitration was the only avenue left after a grand jury refused to indict them.Any decent person is outraged by this, and recognizes it as a needless and wrong act of violence by the police. An 'arbiter' was the process for justice, and he failed, saying the police 'had no choice'. They obviously did. This is an outrage and injustice IMO showing a need for reform on accountability and training.

I think he was a jerk, but more than that. Acting as an official, I think he was guilty of not doing his job legally, of unnecessarily taking a violent action that nearly killed a peaceful person, showing reckless disregard. You see one officer prevent another from stopping to help him as well. I find this not only immoral but criminal, and that the process for justice was inadequate if not corrupt.Even if the cop didn't do anything legally wrong, I think he was a jerk. He could have been a lot more gentle in moving the man out of the way, and he especially should have stopped long enough to check the man's condition after the fall. At least, that's what I think about it.
The police should be cleared of any wrongdoing they were probably following procedure. It's not their fault that procedure is incompetent they don't write it. It's the idiot politicians that are in charge of that create this problem.Any decent person is outraged by this, and recognizes it as a needless and wrong act of violence by the police.

I personally think we need to end the practice of police operating under a different standard of behavior simply because they're police.Any decent person is outraged by this, and recognizes it as a needless and wrong act of violence by the police.
