    like this was happening on a quiet street and not in an ongoing situation. I’m always in to complain about the police, but this one? Come on. He overstepped, and got taken in to identify him and possibly sue him for the “Schweine” comment. Sure they use force, but the force to me seems reasonable/in proportion.

      You are out of your mind. Walk up to him and ask him to show his ID. If he doesn’t, grab his arm and take him with you. If he or the other people resist that, then and only then force can be escalated.

        I don’t think the situation allowed for that. There was already aggression against the police there (sadly we don’t know what the kid did do, to get arrested). The police was already trying to get out of the scene to avoid confronting the people who tried to stop the police from doing so. Getting someones ID is more than just asking/receiving an answer, it’s a process that takes several minutes even in quiet situations like when the police is called to a minor traffic accident etc.
