The cops aren't at fault. They were called in to deal with something flight related, which has serious implications. If you resist, you can expect force in return. 

This is false. Police/security don't have carte blanche to do as they please just because of resistance. You damn well are right there's going to be a full investigation if you smash some 69-year-old's face in and you are going to have to answer for how you handled the situation. 

Well, maybe they shouldn't in theory, but in practice we all know that they overstep their boundaries.
