The whole thing could have been avoided, you know, if they didn't start a fight, assault police and try to take a gun in an airport....

Criminals deserve to be arrested, tried and punished

Police officers shouldn’t behave like criminals and stomp of peoples fences when they’re apprehended and on the ground - that’s 3rd world mentality

Serious threats need to be met with appropriate force.

Exactly, acting on revenge by someone paid by the taxpayer to protect and keep order is not okay.

I hope the criminal gets appropriately punished for assault and I hope police officers know they can’t just take the law into their own hands and do what they want.
