If they’d just stabbed or raped them fucking too right, maybe if people didn’t feel so let down these days by the system then doing stuff like this wouldn’t happen. The copper will be sacked no doubt and probably get a suspended sentence fuck all will happen to the others they will no doubt be portrayed as the victims.
And this is why you and I don’t get to be the judge or sit on the jury when those that have wronged us are on trial.
I am a pacifist (and humanist). And I can barely even move my fingers now, much less punch someone. Most of this was written via an eye tracking system (which I have thankfully become quite good at).
But would I be willing to kill someone if I thought it was them or the lives of my family, absolutely. In any way I could, regardless if I could move. And I would have to face the ramifications, including legal consequences, for doing so, especially if I severely injured or killed the person even after they were no longer a threat to my family.
The logical extension of your stance is supporting people going around and severely injuring or murdering people who have stabbed or raped your loved ones in the past (as they are in a similar position of not being a present threat to your or them). And I don’t think you actually condone that, do you?
And do you really want the police deciding what the appropriate punishment is in these situations, rather than a court, either? Because that was what the police officer was doing when he kicked and stomped the incapacitated assailant lying facedown on the floor.
I go back to an earlier hypothetical: do you support the police beating you to within an inch of your life after being incapacitated by taser because you got in a fight with some rag dickheads after a match and then accidentally threw an elbow in to an officer as they tried to pull you away?
They could not know your intent, that you did not mean to hit them, so based on your stance they have every right kick and stomp your head whilst you lay facedown unconscious on the floor, correct?
