Maybe everyone on plot knew what park it was and they needed to get that bit out urgently rather than “he’s proceeding down acacia avenue, speed 30 miles an hour, with the William Hague Memorial park on the near side”
The dodgier manoeuvre is the Officer trying to squirt the moped rider with gas.
No sympathy to the rider who managed to hit a barely moving police car, having had my motorcycle knicked by the local youth - fuck them. But with a dispassionate eye,
the manoeuvre did seem to be legal, proportionate and necessary to protect the public and arrest a suspected offender.
