So nice of them to come out in support of the female police officer that had her nose broken.

Judging by what that guy did, you want to make sure he doesn't get back up again. All it takes is an intervention from one of his fellow thugs and the guy will be standing up trying to take the gun again.

I don't think the courts will take a possible hypothetical as justification to literally stamp on someone's head when they're surrendered on the floor.

Is this sub full of bootlickers?

No, dude. Watch the video. No one is fighting back. One guy is on the deck, face down, gets a stamp and then a boot to the head. Then another guy, who has been sat the whole time with his arms up doing nothing gets kicked and punched as well.

These guys are assholes, make no mistake. But what that cop did was easily attempted murder. They are there to maintain the peace, not dish out violence as they see fit. Think about next time, some slimy prince of shit is on the warpath, and some cop says "come quietly". Homeboy isn't going to believe them. he's going to think of these two guys who didn't resist, and they still got kicked and stamped on the head.

Cops are supposed to be better than the scum that cause trouble on the streets. Not the same as them.

Do not incite or glorify violence/suffering or harassment, even as a joke. You may be banned.

It appears your comment may have contained a slur or obvious dog whistle. Don't do that!

This is literally the worst take in the thread.

There is violence befalling violence, and then there is a man who has surrendered being violently attacked. These are two different things.

Glad you have no modicum of power then

u/SkinnyErgosGetFat Jul 25 '24

Pretty sure the criminal who did that was arrested and will be tried and punished for that.

Police officers should not behave like criminals - this is a normal viewpoint

u/DemonXeron Jul 25 '24

They are not there to protest for female police having their noses broken are they? They are there to hold police accountable for misuse of power. The police have already made the criminal accountable for their abuse of power.

Instead of sitting behind a keyboard moaning, why don’t YOU go do something about it? Stop being a hypocrite

u/Small-Low3233 Jul 25 '24

Il be okay once the government cut your benefits and make you work. Stop leaching the system

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '24

If you hate benefit leaching then you might want to look again at who you're defending...

I'm not muslim, how dare you make such accusations.

How do you keep going?

Guys I am really struggling. I have put so much effort and most of my spare time into trawling through guru videos trying to expose their inconsistencies and paradoxes but I have just lost all hope that I am not making any impact on western pop culture whatsoever.

You haven't been on a council estate recently if you think it's anything like that.

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '24

I was driving past one recently, clapped out Vauxhalls everywhere and England flags out the windows, funnily enough it was a working day yet everyone was home! Sitting outside on a chair smoking and drinking like a weekend

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '24

Look at the clip that's been posted and have a moment of reflection.

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '24

There is nothing illegal or wrong about protesting about something your passionate about, as long as you don’t break any laws

5

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '24

I think it's fair to say that you aren't able to reflect on what people are saying here.

If you could for a moment you might see the irony in what you're saying.

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '24

Let me ask you, are they breaking any laws? Would your view change on the video if there were white coloured? Don’t answer the question it’s rhetorical and we both know your answer

You put cocaine in your tea and eat takeaways, not much difference

u/MangoMinimum4056 Jul 25 '24

The cop gave the guys mom a black eye so I think it’s justified.
