In what other profession are you allowed to just stand there in public with a constant hand on someone?

I mean.. The act of not allowing you to leave is the problem here not the fact he is maintaining contact with his forearm.

I take offense at the unwanted contact.

If I were to do this to someone, they would have me arrested for it in addition to restraining them. Therefore fuck these pigs. Why are they above that?

For the US it is Supreme court precedent. If they suspect you're committing a crime they can detain you while they investigate. If you give resistance to the detainment they can use force as long as it fits within their use of force policy and is reasonable with respect to the totality of circumstances. That's the simple version. The UK likely has its own version of this.

Fuck their policy and fuck their vision of 'reasonable.' All cops oughta drop fucking dead at this point considering everything we've seen.

Yep and that's where society is wrong today. You being offended is not an offence.
