You both seem to be under the impression that I absolve him of any wrong doing. All I said was that it's a poor look on both people, noting that police resorting to physical tactics and beyond was unnecessary.
These are young adults playing pond hockey at dusk in a reality where rules change daily. You also have a group of other Skaters who left the ice and were encouraging their friend to do so as well. If the police had worked with the bigger group to get Ocean off the ice instead of flexing muscles and threatening arrest and ticketing, maybe this would have ended differently.
There are plenty of non-violent ways to ensure people follow the rules. Police being physical should be the last resort, no?
