I agree that the pictures are disturbing and I certainly hope that the man who punched a gay person in the face is caught and punished.

But I don't think this looks any worse than the pictures of the anti-banking demonstrations in London, or the violence against British students who wanted to protest against tuition fees at university. People participating in those demonstrations were even worse beaten up, and two people died during that time, as a result of police violence.
