That’s not true at all.If you make a threatening move to a cop they will physically restrain you 10/10
Tase, punch, grab, tackle. Anything. If a cop feels you’re aggressive they will restrain you every single time. And they’ll be justified by the tape.
But again, that’s for cops, not regular people
Again, some drunk guy making a “what” gesture to a cop is not going to get restrained by most professional cops and it certainly wouldn’t be justified to physically harm someone and if they did the person harmed would have justified police brutality.
Again the idea that it was physically threatening to joe is ridiculous and it wouldn’t be seen as threatening or criminal to most cops.
