Hm. I'm not a police critic, on the contrary: they have often helped / protected me in difficult situations. Furthermore I think police officer is a very challenging profession, so I have deep respect for men and woman that meet the requisites their job as an officer brings about.
To answer your question: I'd consider putting him in cuffs an adequate procedure. And seeing that it was two dozen officers against one "rioter" it should be feasible.
Maybe our "chief of the boat" could add a professional perspective here.
Last remark: You missed my point completely (again. Seems you are forming a habit). It's useless to discuss what should have been done. There is an old man in hospital and a police officer accused of criminal assault. And then there is a president and a attorney who want to make the victim the perpetrator. Disgusting!
