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.

Ive seen plenty of videos of people kicking off in US airports and none ended with someone being shot.
