Yes this is it. People don't realize how many police officers are murdered each year (more than 1 per week). It's just a precaution.

I mean, don't get me wrong I think going after a news site is bull shit and I think we should all rally around this guy, but it was not these officers' decision to arrest them and I don't think it was excessive, it was safe (for everyone).

In other countries we wouldn't hear anything about excessive force (because the jaw of the one being arrested would have been broken).
