You treated everyone the same? I hope not. Officers are supposed to use no more force than is necessary. It takes a lot more force to subdue an NFL lineman than it does for an 84 year old man or a small child!!
I rode with officers all the time when I was both a prosecutor and a defense attorney for 31 years. I have seen hundreds of police car videos. It is very easy to spot the ones with common sense and the ones that are just plain bullies. AND I do not like the bullies. Don't think officers can be bullies? Search youtube for police brutality.
