HOW DOES THE EXTRACT DEPICT THE POLICE'S POINT OF VIEW - CUFFS

The way the police are presented on the opening scene on the beach is quite complicated and handled with irony because Chief Supers voice over was at odds with what PC Ryan Draper experiences on the beach. It is ironic because the chief Super asserts that a police man must remain 'calm and assertive in the face of provocation, always striving for conflict resolution ensuring cohesion and security'.  However,  PC Draper is insulted on the beach by the nudists that he tries to protect and punched on the nose by the young men in the stag do. The audience definitely feel that has done his professional best because he does not loose his temper and tries to be fair to both sides. Therefore the audience is likely to feel sympathetic towards him particularity at the end, even if our sympathies were with nudists with the begging however the mood swings against the nudists who through themselves into the affray and in some ways just as guilty as the stag do who have been taunting them certainly the characters who came out worst are the stag do who are guilty of criminal assault when they hit PC Draper.
