Holy fuck-- that's some crazy shit you dealt with this morning. Suddenly my morning's troubles of finding that my supervisor still hasn't changed my grade to a passing are put into glorious perspective. Sounds like you handled the situation as well as anyone could have done-- and major kudos to London's police department which apparently sucks a lot less than almost all the police in the US! I bet they never have uncontrollable bouts of tasering the shit out of fucking everyone either. Although I have to say-- that old lady who got tased because she kept daring the cop that he wouldn't-- that was pretty funny.
