"What would be unreasonable," former police officer Dan Jones told CBC News Network, "is as you've got them subdued on the ground, already under control, continuously hitting them, or hurting them, or stabbing them."

Hate to agree with a cop but this is my stance. Any act of physical violence should have a trial, and unless the guy did something like in the quote it should be a quick and not overly onerous one.

Any act of physical violence should have a trial

Any act of physical violence should have an investigation. There are plenty of straightforward cases that don't need to go through the time and expense of a trial.
