Don't know how there's justification for the police here.

See the British protests a while back.

People rioting and people by people rioting sometimes get hit in the head... that's just how it goes.  Rubber Bullets bounce, excetera.

You obviously use tear gas on people running towards the person because you have no idea if they're trying to rush you or help the person.

Why it all happened is basic common sense unless you have an agenda.

Again, note how the footage all begins after he was hit.  I'd notice how he's a hell of a lot closer to the baracade then the most of the protesters,  IE he obviously either refused to move back or activly advanced towards the police.

They're people, not zombies. Unless he was going OVER the barricade, it was an excessive use of force. If the police were as passionate about controlling drug distribution in this country, there wouldn't be such a rampant drug problem. But of course, the police are paid to ignore that.
