I don't think the police were too aggressive. It's not a peaceful protest when you try to take the Olympic torch and put it out. Despite the barbaric behaviour of China, the British police have a responsibility to remain impartial and respect the safety of those marching whilst allowing for people to protest. I think they got the balance broadly right.
