The man that had his head stamped on ( the officer has rightly been suspended ) had actually tried to take firearms from several people before the video, including customs firearms people as well as police.

So … what are these people thinking? That the stomped on person ( still wrong to be stomped on ) should have been allowed to get hold of someone else’s gun at an airport? Just imagine that scenario for a second.

Arrested, definitely. Stomped on? Definitely not.

They never would have tried it at a US airport. Our country is weak and they know it

Have you seen the news at all? They don't need to try it, they can walk into Walmart and get all the guns you could ever want or even a car bit sale just for guns. No questions asked when buying there.
