Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This Statement implies that they only knew about the assault because of the video rather than their own police actively being on the scene choosing to arrest the victim rather than the aggressors.
It also highlights that they are still choosing to punish the victim.

The incident has been reviewed, and we have no concerns over the officer's actions and we are satisfied that they were reasonable and proportionate in the circumstances.
We would ask that footage is not further shared to allow the legal process to take its course.
