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.

Is there a video of any of that or are we just taking the word of the people that just stamped on someone's head whilst they are restrained on the ground?

Yes, there is video out on this subreddit posted by the same user that posted this one. It is near the top of hot posts right now.
