Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youStanding around outnumbered police and pointing your finger in their face when they have ordered you to disperse?
They either tolerate that and it can escalate, or act.
What would you have done differently?
I'm assuming this was escalating into this over 5 minutes or more

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youNeither should a professional, on duty in a position of power, charge in spoiling for a rumble calling teenagers "mother fucker"
Two wrongs don't make a right, and the onus should be on the police to be the ones in the right.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youRemember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Anybody have a clue what it was about?
I very much doubt they just happened to be passing and decided to ask a group of kids to go home because they didn't like the look of them.
What if the kids had been bullying another kid? What if it was a Sophie Lancaster type situation? Would charging in, calling a kid a motherfucker and tackling a 'petite' girl to the ground be acceptable to prevent a death? I reckon so.
But, until we know the back story, there's no way we can judge the behaviour of any individual in that clip.
"Why is there such an emphasis on challenging and taking action against unprofessional behaviour?
To maintain public trust and confidence in the police, every person in policing must take responsibility for ensuring that the principles and standards in the Code of Ethics are not being betrayed."

Yes there is. See above

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youThey were pushing back and being aggressive to the police
and a "petite teenage girl"? are girls harmless and unable to assault anyone? it looked to me that she punched one policeman in the face as he was holding someone down on the floor, whilst another petite teenage girl was kicking him
I can't tell what had happened before, but it seemed like 2 or 3 police were dealing with a crowd of 20 aggressive teenagers, and had called for backup - why would they do that?
If you were doing your job and decided that entitled you to wade in, looking for a fight and calling people mother fuckers, do you think you'd still have a job?
What if your job was to be a uniformed exemplar of the law?
I totally get that the behavior of the young people was wrong. It might even have been threatening or dangerous, but there's still a professional way to deal with that. This wasn't it.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youHow do you know the policeman who ran in hadn't just been given an order to burst into the group and break it up with a dominant show of force? The police often do this.
I don't even want to take the side of the police particularly, I just think that this is not an unusual police tactic anywhere in the world to deal with a hostile crowd, the age makes no difference to me, they are not 10 years old, this was already a public disturbance, and we don't have enough information to understand whether the crowd-dispersal tactic was proportionate. The arrests after it looked proportionate to me, the youths were hitting and kicking the PCs
These kids were 14 years old or thereabouts
Not little "motherfuckers "……….sorry ,just disgusting
