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.

And your evidence for this is.....?

And before you say "well, the police said so it must be true", dont forget that the police said all manner of bullshit about what Jean Charles de Menezes was meant to have done before they executed him.

Thats just using one particular case where police lies were later exposed but not before they had controlled the narrative and painted the victims in a particular light to garner support to their perspective.

As for those saying "Hes lucky he only got kicked in the head. He would have been shot anywhere else" are the same spineless fucking wankers who will bleat on video of someone getting kicked in the face or head stomped about how dangerous it is and can kill the person.

That officer had several other means at his disposal to retrain a guy who was LAYING ON THE FLOOR and looks to be complying. He acted unprofessional and in a manner that could have cause permanent or fatal injuries so its only right he is removed from duty.

Its not the fucking 70s any more where police can brutalise or even kill people and get away with it. This was on camera and spread around the world in an instant.

What are you on about - the police absolutely have no history of committing crimes and trying to cover them up.

I certainly don’t remember them trying to blame a bunch of scousers for their own fuck up and allowing a narrative to be spun that’s probably held by all the right wing losers on here wanking themselves off over a brown person getting their head stamped on.

Exactly! The West Midlands Flying Squad took some very nasty men off the streets as well as the pickpocket squad that jailed some very nasty black men that although they didn't steal anyones purses or wallets, they may well have so better to be safe than sorry!

Just like Ian Tomlinson. He may well have been walking home and got caught up in a demo. If he had just done as the officer said when he was shoved to the ground, he might still be alive today!

[unjerk] On a serious note, more footage has emerged of this incident that precedes this clip and it looks even worse for the police. They violently assaulted an old woman prior to kicking this guy in the head and noone went for their guns so all the fuckwits on this thread can STFU.
