Unbelievably enough, the following was (up until a Tory MP's innocous comments about the Army) the main national news story in the UK. I thought you would like to see it, given how many US cop arrest videos get shown in the UK:

And a sample of how it is being reported. See if you can spot the difference!

edit - a guide to the film (Comer is the person with the hood up):
02:17:08-15 - Comer chased up stairs, appears to try and get back in the club.
02:17:15 - 02:18:19 - Comer being talked to on top of the stairs
02:18:19 - 02:18:22 - Comer drags PC down stairs
02:18:22 - Comer aims punch at PC's head, causing his hat to fall off. Both persons fall to ground, struggling.
02:18:23 - 02:18:49 - Comer and the PC struggle on the floor until a doorman intervenes.
02:18:49 - 02:18:59 - Comer and the doorman struggle with her - you at this point cannot see Comer herself but you can see both the PC and the doorman moving around as if they are struggling with her.
02:19:00 - Second Police officer arrives. Comer continues to struggle, albeit less than when there were just two people trying to restrain her.
02:19:38 - 02:19:41 - third and fourth Police officers arrive, Doorman gets off Comer.
02:19:42 - PC aims one punch somewhere on Comer.
02:19:44 - 02:19:46 - PC aims four more punches, apparently at the same place as the first one.
02:19:48 - 02:19:52 - PC puts handcuffs on Comer.
02:19:52 - 02:20:00 - two PCs get off Comer now she is handcuffed.
02:20:16 - the two remaining PCs try and stand Comer up.
02:20:32 - 02:20:42 - Comer struggles in the handcuffs, moving the officers around.
02:20:43 - 02:20:57 - Comer is marched from where she was detained over to the van. Half-way across the camera, her trousers fall down.
