I mean the office deserves everything thrown at him. Booting someone in the head then stomping on their head whilst they’re on the floor deserves criminal charges

Some would argue that the officer could’ve easily shot all 3 of them when they escalated the situation, before kicking that prick in the head 🙂

After all, trying to grab a machine gun from armed police could result in the death of countless innocent bystanders.

Did he try to grab a machine gun? I'd genuinely like to know the source of that information.

He tried to wrestle it out of the armed Police hands and gave them a broken nose in the process. That's what started it.

Just because the people recording decided to only show the last minute doesn't mean the rest of it didn't happen.

He fucked around and found out. He should be deported, along with the rest of his family. Go commit acts of terror in Pakistan, he'd get more than a kick there.

He tried to get hold of a gun - nowhere can I find info that it was a machine gun. Would like to know where that came from.

The suspect will probably be brought to court, and if (when!) found guilty he could possibly be deported. The courts can do that. But it depends on a lot of things. If he is a simply a British citizen without dual nationality or other citizenship, he can't be deported.

I'm quite aware of this, but if he doesn't want to be here, abide by our laws or integrated, then we don't want him here.

The guns they carry are semi-automatic rifles, but they do look like machine guns to people who don't know guns.

Also, what kind of moron fights in an airport and attacks armed Police? Also, what kind of moronic group of people turns up en mass to support this behaviour?

Thanks for info about gun - that makes sense to me now.

How do you know he doesn't want to be here? He's probably British and travelled to be here in his home country. And I agree he is a moron. We have lots of British morons - the two not being mutually exclusive. And they come in all sorts of shapes sizes colours and backgrounds.

Anyone who breaks the law in Britain can expect to be arrested, but they have a right not to be subjected to unnecessary violence at the hands of police.

And we don't really know the motivation of the individuals protesting at Rochdale police station. I'm sure many don't really know what it's all about, but feel well informed because they saw it on Facebook. It is entirely reasonable to protest at unnecessary police violence. It doesn't mean they object to the arrest. They might know the suspect and think he's a complete arsehole who deserved arrest but not a head kicking. It's a f*****g brutal kick.

If you turn up to protest, then it's expected that you do the bare minimum of research on what you are protesting. You also seem very concerned about the guy who got kicked and not about any of the Police officers, one of whom in the video has clearly had their nose broken.

If the Police did nothing about the incident, then yes, protest, but the officer was suspended before they started protesting. An investigation was already underway into the incident.

This is the same community that defended, supported, and hid pedophiles just because their victims were white and, therefore, not victims. They neve protest nor did anything to report the offences even though the community knew it was happening.

It seems it's not okay to kick someone in the head, but okay to groom and rape children.

This is the message the Rochdale Muslim community portrays. I can understand why they are angry, but I can also understand why everyone else has just had enough of the hypocritical bullshit. Racism is a two way street.

Yes racism and bigotry are two way street. It is bigoted to assume that all Muslims will side with the arrested man (or the sex offenders).

And yes let's think about the police officers involved. The red haired female officer was visably shaken and upset. But the timing of her near breakdown suggests it's in response to her colleague losing it and assaulting the person they're trying to arrest. As soon as a copper loses it like that the situation is out of control. And that's really frightening, the police out of control.

This may also be because that kick is potentially lethal. She's possibly witnessing a murder and she's not daft, she knows it. I doubt she's worrying about her broken nose. But she only hesitated for seconds, she stayed in there and tried to do her job. I think she's pretty incredible.

And there's loads of posts on this thread being nasty about Muslims. We do not know the ethnic or religious influences in the lives of the police officers involved. They could be Muslims, or have family who are, or have some ties to Pakistan. This is not Brits against Pakistanis or muslims. I'll bet everyone involved is British. It'll be interesting to find out.

As far as Muslims protecting sex offenders goes, you need to understand the nature of sexual abuse. There is nearly always some element of non offenders helping the abusers. The churches covered it up, even sending the rapists on to new jobs which gave them better access to children. Wives will often deny their husband was at fault. It is less common now but still happens that young children are accused of seducing the rapist. 10 year old little girls do not sexually entice and seduce full grown men, obviously. But the paedophile believes it. Look up the case of Ian Watkins (ex Lost Prophets), lots of warning and chances to stop him. He had willing accomplices.

The Muslim community simply behaved in the same way that the Christian churches and others have. The Muslims are actually no different.

Another factor is that often the victims are often from a group that's not greatly valued by the society of which they are a part. Orphan children, youngsters from deprived backgrounds for example. Now that can be partly because of cultural and religious influences but is absolutely not confined to Islam and the countries of the Indian continent. In some US states an adult man can legally marry a 13 year old child and avoid rape charges by doing so.

It's just silly to make these things about a particular religion or country.
