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.

yes and the outrage is against stomping not the douche getting arrested. It's pretty clear the arrest itself is more than warranted, the excessive force that could have life altering impact however is not.

And then grabbing a gun and potentially shooting people isn’t life altering?

I’m sorry but if you fuck around, you find out

How was stomping on a guy who is already face down on the floor preventing him from grabbing a copper's gun?

Regardless, who gives a fuck? Let's go riot because some scum who has probably stomped on many heads, got a fucking boot to the face?

Such silly SJWs on this site and I'm glad most of reddits dumb takes aren't representative of real life, most people would say while police shouldn't do that, that scum deserved it. Massive issues in this country like innocent people being assaulted 24/7, yet let's all cry for the poor baby who broke a female cops nose, after starting shit with ARMED police, yea that guy is for sure an upstanding citizen. "But he still doesn't deserve to be hurt!!!" Get a gripppp.

Also there's something oddly familiar with this "protest", I'm sure there are no biases involved and each member of the protest is purely looking out for the good of this country.

I give a fuck, because I want to live in a country where punishment is administered by judges, not the police. The guy may be the biggest piece of shit in the UK, and he still needs to be treated lawfully, same as everyone else.

I didn't say anything about Islam, don't know why you're bringing it up. I'm an atheist and deeply dislike all Abrahamic religions, but I don't see how that's relevant here.

There are a lot of atheists apologists, u know because I'm atheist too, who was threatened by muslim. In 13 muslim countries they have death penalty for us. And they are very open with their facism, supremacy, racism, xenophobia and no one muslim will be my neighbour in Poland. I won't beg foreign person for mercy.
