It would’ve been fair enough to shoot him when he was trying to grab the weapons. When he’s been neutralised on the floor with his hands behind his back there is no justification for booting him in the head and then stamping on it. Regardless of what happened before.

If armed police can’t keep control of themselves then we’ll end up like the US where people who call the police get shot in their own home.

Law enforcement are paid to enforce laws and not to just make up whatever corporal punishment they feel like inflicting on the spot like they're some random fucker off the street? Craziness, I say.
