Sorry its a Daily Heil article but its the first one I found with a video.
Police officer spared jail after CCTV captures him using 'pain restraint' on boy, 15, who wouldn't empty his pockets | Mail Online
personally I think the officer needed 'words of advice' and some training along with his colleagues, not a suspended sentence. He failed to clearly warn the scrote he would be forcibly searched. The kid was quite small so the pain hanging in the air may have been quite noticeable so maybe that should have been considered.
However the kid may have also had a knife on him and there was a reasonable chance someone could have been seriously hurt if the kid pulled it.
