A police officer has been filmed kicking and stamping on the head of a man lying on the ground at Manchester Airport. The uniformed male officer is seen holding a Taser over the man, who is lying face down, before striking him twice while other officers shout at onlookers to stay back in a video shared widely online. Greater Manchester Police said firearms officers had been attacked while attempting to arrest someone following a fight in the airport's Terminal 2 on Tuesday. The force said it “acknowledges the concerns of the conduct within the video”, which is being looked into by its professionals standards directorate. Firearms officers had been called to the airport after reports of an altercation by members of the public, a police spokesman said. Three officers were “punched to the ground” in a “violent assault” when they attempted to arrest one of the suspects, he added. “As the attending officers were firearms officers, there was a clear risk during this assault of their firearms being taken from them." Four men were arrested at the scene for affray and assaulting emergency service workers. Three officers were taken to hospital for treatment, with one of them suffering a broken nose. Amar Minhas from Leeds was coming through arrivals when he saw the scene unfold. He told the BBC police had approached one of the men, in his early 20s, and told him he was a wanted man, before “they pinned him up against a wall”. Another man then “started on the police” and a fight ensued, he said. The man who was being pinned against the wall started “throwing punches, he was Tasered, and fell to the floor”, Mr Minhas said. “That’s when the policeman kicked him”. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7259wpl1x9o -------------------------- This is insane!

POW! BLAM!

He's lucky he wasn't just shot dead - trying to take firearms from officers is risky business, as is hospitalising three firearms officers.
The people there to defend the innocent would probably be in less hot water right now if they had just shot him tbh. Last edited by Oliver_W; 24-07-2024 at 07:27 PM. |

Who in their right mind starts a fight with a firearms officer? I am assuming no alcohol was involved, that said stamping on his head was unnecessary

Prior to this a female colleague had her nose broken.... not a justification as he lost control in that instance but a human reaction I guess to a colleague being assaulted

Cynical how this video was posted but not what happened before. The officer is a human being, not a robot. It amazes me that the initial aggressor has become the victim.

I suppose tbf people are going to hold an Officer of the law to a higher standard than a scumbag that likes to get physically aggressive towards women.

No matter what happened before, there’s no excuse for an officer to kick someone, who’s not resisting, in the face and then stamp on the back of his head

Absolutely. Are they Police officers or are they vigilantes? The guy was on the floor not moving, why didn't he handcuff him? There is no excuse for someone in his position to kick a guy in the head while he's on the ground and not attacking him.

That's the Police Officers fault, Police have to be held to a higher standard than joe public, it's literally their job. Their job isn't to get vengeance for the victim, it's to arrest the guy so he can be charged and brought before a court. I'm not defending the guy for a second but the Police have to be better than that, that's what they're trained for, other wise it would be the wild west

What if the guy was wearing a bomb or holding a dangerous weapon .. the police would be at a crazy stress level and just want to nullify the danger

He should have put his arm behind his back instead of resisting by keeping it hidden under his belly.

Still Excessive force like this can't really be justified, when police catch worse criminals they don't get treated this badly. So it really is crazy . |

Funny thing is he'd be treated with kid gloves if he was a terrorist,as that if he was wearing a bomb....they couldn't just start brutally beating him up .

You can't afford to lose your temper as a cop ,think of the reputation. Cops have been spat on and everything...and they are supposed to still remain calm, obviously they're human. But losing control to this degree isn't a good look.
