If I hit someone and it is caught on tape in such a manner as that video, it is likely more than enough to convict me of the assault. How is it any different in this case? |
I agree that in this case the video is enough - especially to warrant the charge and most likely to convict. - situation seemed under control and no one was in danger at the time.
My point is that it isn't always the case - video can be misleading - and all facts need to be looked at to make an informed decision.
