A few things I do not quite understand about this story.

The Daily Mail stated he was a 55 year old pensioner?

Why would a man of 55 have a bucket list where he wants to moon at a police camera? A 15 year old might, but he is 55, what was he thinking!

He was not wearing a sign to say he is terminally ill, and even if he is does this mean that people who terminally ill can do as they wish?

Only an absolute idiot would moon at a police camera and think they were above the law.

When the police go to his home he refused them entry, again he was stupid beyond belief.

As for six police officers arresting him, well they are only permitted to use reasonable force. From what I see in the film they did not use undue force. Indeed they were most gentle with him, trained to deal with overweight people in getting them to their feet.

If this man had held out his hands he would have been cuffed and dealt with but he did not co-operate, again stupid beyond belief.

I have seen people lambast police for getting stuck into protesters and then the same people lambast them for standing back. Police are on a hiding to nothing.

This overweight retired university lecturer should have known better, he brought all this to his own door with his immature and irresponsible behavior. I have sympathy for his health issues but none whatsoever for the position he finds himself in as he created it himself.
