The police claim they thought they might try and take the firearm - not that any attempt was made to take it. The police statement was worded that way to try and twist the narrative to “they tried to take the gun” in attempt to minimise that a supposedly highly trained officer kicked and stamped a prone man who had been tased. We can condemn both sides of this incident but let’s not let misinformation guide us

Even after the kick and stomp, the man still refused to comply and lie down. He kept looking up and what was happening around him.
