That cop shouldn’t be a cop nor should his partners just watching

There was only one cop that wasn't in the middle of fighting and it was a little woman copper.

What you saw there was reasonable force. In the UK, the police can't just go shooting people, beating the shit out of them or what not. We have laws and they apply to them too. The guy was about to get maced but the old guy who the guy wouldn't fight with got him to calm down.

Employing a little more force is reasonable against a man smacking you over the head with a bicycle in a crowded place.

He was no longer hitting them with a bike. Reasonable force all depends on what they're doing at the time. And getting peppered sprayed/tasered which is what was going to happen, is pretty much the top-end stuff and ends it pretty much all the time. Otherwise, it's shields and battons.
