    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.
