Cyclist, no lights or protective gear, cuts across in front of a car. I expected the worst, but was relieved to see minor cuts and bruises.

We had a pedestrian delivered by air-ambulance the other day (it landed in the centre of one of the local towns, recently featured in a Channel 4 series about regeneration)
He'd been knocked down by a motorbike, & had a totally shattered Pelvis.
Not sure on the blace factor, but he's either unlucky or blind, as he said he'd been knocked down only 6 months prior :shock:
(& once before that too)

Surely the officers involved would of had CS or Mace?
I was watching it and from the start they was clearly not going to be took easily so why did they not spray them to start with? could of made a difficult situation much easier even if they didn't have their spray why did they not just handcuff them.

It is always a difficult call to make. If they were 'coked' up, CS may not have had any effect. It doesn't work on everyone. I don't know about MACE/PAVA, I've never used it.
TASER would have been a good option if that had had it, as the electric jolt belts the nervous system and should not be affected by 'chemical additives'.
Handcuffs can be a swine to get on. I always hear scornful comments like "It takes six of you to take one person down". Yes, it does, to take control of the subject and situation. We have rules to stick by, our 'customers' don't.

Someone replying to my posting on 'Touring And Tenting' offers a couple of (newspaper) links that suggesting that murder was also involved in this surreal situation
