I would be surprised if the mother gets very far, as it sounds the Police operated exactly as they should have with the public safety in mind. <br /> <br />In relation the second video, I think it is a case of either wrong people being sent to restrain the person or just a great big 'cockup' all together. You may have noticed that the news reporter was saying a lot more than the (I presume father) man that they had interviewed. A perfect scenerio to allow Media Hype to slip in. For example, the quoted five minutes could easily have been one minute, but of course that wouldn't cause such a stirr would it? <img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="Rolling
