Can a police officer use violence to arrest you?

Police officers are allowed to use force deemed as reasonable in a range of situations. For example if a person wielding a knife was acting violent and threatening towards an officer then reasonable force will be deemed as using a baton, using CS gas or physically using preemptive strikes in order to prevent the person from causing potentially fatal injuries to himself, the officer or the public. Therefore the answer to the question is that violence is majority of the time a mistake for the reasonable force in which police are allowed to use in order to arrest a person dependent on the risk of the situation at hand. However sometimes the Police can overuse force in a situation which doesn't require it, and even less of the time Police may unfortunately use violence which does lose them their jobs.
