Let's imagine the roles were reversed, it was Tomlinson who battoned and shoved the officer to the floor, the officer got up, a little dazed, dragged himself off and died a hundred yards up the road a few moments later.
Would you make the same excuses for Tomlinson ? That he was just swept up in the stress/anxiety/excitement of the day ?
As for the officer "doing his job" - he was not doing his job when he attacked and killed Tomlinson.
