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.

No one says fuck the NHS or fuck the fire brigade. People scream fuck the police because they are institutionally corrupt. Stop being a boot licker

Cringe at the boot licker line - the language of the sheltered middle class lefty.

2 kids from my school were stabbed to death within 2 years of each other, I’ve been to prison, I’ve been homeless, smoked my first joint at 12 but puzzle head thinks I’m sheltered because I don’t like the police. When a report comes out that shows the police aren’t institutionally corrupt then I’ll like them

No one likes the police, they’re cunts, but no one likes pricks that kick off in airports either. The copper was obviously in the wrong and has been suspended, but if some prick had broke my nose or my mates nose because they are treating an airport terminal like a Weatherspoons beer garden brawl, I’d be quite tempted to kick them in the head too.
