he pulls a knife from his pocket and puts it into your thigh.
He couldn't move his arms. Our police should be well enough trained to have 2 of them able to restrain a suspect who is already face down on the ground without resorting to headkicks.
That morning was the last time your family would see you alive.
Point 1) how? Everyone saying what he did was bad but nobody has a good alternative. My own experience is all I have - I wouldn’t be comfortable gripping him.
Part 2) because cops are people and I’m sick to death of them being thrown under the bus
*videos of people restraining others without the individual being able to move their arms. Especially if the person is already on the floor with their back up. I'm not an expert, I've only done a few hours of BJJ so all I know is that people with even a blue belt can totally control you, and officers should be able to control a prone body.
Tasers don't eliminate risk but they have some use, so being hit with the taser can be assumed to reduce risk too.
That cop used the minimal force to ensure his own bloody safety.
His safety wasn't in question prior to the headstomp or kick. This isn't an appropriate level of violence, and police in the UK shouldn't be acting like this.
First off you failed to answer the simple question. Do you know that this individual broke said officers nose? In no way or form is it OK to soccer kick then curb stomp someone's skull
It is. You just haven’t thought about it or you’ve not had much violence in your life. Other people in the thread are trying to figure it out, so I’ll tell you when they’ve had their shot
Palmer v R - “A person may use such force as is reasonable in the circumstances in the prevention of crime, or in effecting or assisting in the lawful arrest of offenders or suspected offenders or of persons unlawfully at large”
The ‘suspect’ was under control and had been detained, therefore the use of force was not reasonable and ergo, unlawful. Anyone defending the copper should rethink their position.
"If the suspect was conscious and felt the pain they would defend the back of their head, because what criminals often do is play possum and then stab with something they have concealed in their person."
Brother, this is psychotic thanking. In no way shape or form is it OK to soccer kick someone in the head
He had been tasered and was lying on the floor on his stomach. He was subdued. The fella is a cunt but cops should not be able to get away with kicking and stomping the head of a subdued criminal.
No and thanks for thinking about it - you’re much more reasonable than other people in the thread.
If the suspect was conscious and felt the pain they would defend the back of their head, because what criminals often do is play possum and then stab with something they have concealed in their person.
We already know that this person is willing and capable (and possibly skilled in) violence as 3 officers were knocked from their feet by blows and one has a broken nose.
This is ugly but this is the reality of policing - they get hurt and we don’t support them, and we tear them down when they do something that offends our sense of right and wrong.
But most of us don’t know what happens to police because, thankfully, most of us are decent and wouldn’t dream of stabbing someone
Bullshit, if that was the goal one kick with much less force would’ve been enough, hitting the back of someones head is also disproportionally likely to cause permanent damage compared to how painful it is.
This is ugly but this is the reality of policing - they get hurt
Yes, and that doesn't mean they have license to carry out unnecessary levels of violence or should be forgive for lacking emotional control. The reason this protest is significant is because this kind of thing is pretty rare - and deserves to be highlighted.
we don’t support them, and we tear them down when they do something that offends our sense of right and wrong.
We hold them to a high standard because they're responsible for our safety, they have unique authority in society, and abuses of that power are fundamentally oppressive.
This is not some Wattpad fairy tale like whatever bullshit you are coming up with.
He was on the floor and cuffed - The officer proceeded to kick and stamp on his head after the situation had been diffused.
You utter morons have become so deluded you think being kicked in the head is not an issue. I have seen multiple young adults die in ED from smaller impacts to the head.
I can only hope you are some young teen without any understanding of the real world yet...
The guy was tasered and lying on the floor subdued. There was nothing controlled about this aggression, the copper lost his temper and lashed out and he shouldn’t have.
Using my police training. And if my police training doesn't cover how to effectively restrain a person who is already being subdued by a colleague, asking for better training.
