But at what point was this "attempt" occurring? From what I could gather he was told he was going to be arrested and then his legs were kicked out from under him. Why on earth was that necessary? He wasn't a huge tough muscular bloke he is a puny little bod. Why was force necessary? Even the police officer himself described it in a way which implied it was more than he perhaps needed to have done.
I see more than 5 officers in that photo too - are we sure any of them is the one who originally approached the prof and floored him?
