    They had given a dispersal order. The police line means he should be moving forward and away from the police. Umm… have the right is a reason to hit someone.
    THey hit him because he wouldn’t leave. People don’t understand, once you are told to leave, leave or you will be hit. Now they should have given him a chance to walk away again but that isn’t a requirement. They can keep hitting him till he leaves. The police are not your parents. If they have the to use force, they can and will.

      have the right is a reason to hit someone

      Why is having a right to hit someone a reason to hit them? I have the right to smash my own hand to pulp with a hammer but the fact that I have that right isn’t a reason for me to do it.

      Now they should have given him a chance to walk away again but that isn’t a requirement. They can keep hitting him till he leaves.

      So you’re saying the police have the right to hit whoever they like for as long as they like, all they have to do is prevent them from leaving the area? That’s crazy.

        That isn’t what I said at all. They didn’t prevent him from leaving. He didn’t leave.

          They didn’t prevent him from leaving.

          As I already pointed out, they did prevent him from leaving. He got up and started to move and then a police officer forcefully pulled him back on to the ground.

                  No word confused me, I was confused by you changing the subject away from you being wrong.
