Both the daughter and the father were arrested for assaulting a peace officer.
"The father basically attacked police officers as they were trying to take the daughter into custody after she ran off."

Oh [CENSORED] NO!
If I hear my child suddenly start screaming his lungs out, I'll rush to his aid.
If I find three strange guys beating him about the head & shoulders, there will be three DEAD strange men.

Also, "The city has investigated the matter and found that the conduct of the police officers was appropriate under the circumstances," Helfand says.
"It's unfortunate that sometimes police officers have to use force against people who are using force against them.
And the evidence will show that both these folks violated the law and forcefully resisted arrest."

BULL [CENSORED]!
Plain Clothes Officers or not, it doesn't take THREE fully grown men to contain ONE child, and if you can't be bothered to identify yourself AS Officers, then you get what's coming to you.
Namely, a swift round to the temple.
And there won't be two years worth of court case to figure out what happened, either.
"Your Honour, I heard my child screaming for help, came out & found three thugs beating him up on my front lawn.
I shot them in self defence, defending my home, my life, and the life of my family.
The fact they were plain clothes police offers wasn't apparent, and none of them made ANY attempt to proclaim themselves AS Officers of the Law.
This is no different than if three gang bangers come up & try & beat up your wife.
You're not going to stop & ask if they're cops, no, you're going to stop them, and if that means *permanently*, that's their next-of-kins' tough s4.
Sir."
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm so p6 off I can't see straight & feel the need to go do something CONstructive, lest I get myself in trouble for doing something DEstructive.
