In the one picture we have of the officer before contact is made, you’re saying they’re punching with the baton when it’s above their shoulder and to the side.
no, in the video of the protest, we see him punching downwards and not swinging. this happened in Chile in 2019. this is not the only angle of the fight either, there’s a video that’s close up within maybe 20 ft on the other side.
he immediately got up and the protestor did basically the same thing to him again before running off as more cops arrived.
I couldn’t find the link for this video, which is no wonder, because it’s several years old and reddit has since deleted every version of it I could find hosted there. surprise, surprise.
I did manage to find the other angle though, but you’ll have to make due with a facebook link, because that’s all I got.

notice the cop that gets knocked down the second time is the same as the first.
