Did you see that horse bite that silly woman's tit at the palace the other day!

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 .

So breaking a woman’s nose isn’t excessive force ?

If he’s seen his friend/colleague roughed up and badly hurt ( female as well) then maybe he just got angry . .. understandably so imho

the policeman is supposed to be a trained professional, but he obviously isn't because he lost his temper and could have killed the guy in anger. That's why he was suspended. It doesn't matter what happened prior to the video.

Of course it is but he's the criminal, that's why he's being arrested. Comparing the actions of the actual criminal with Police is putting them on equal footing, which they are not and absolutely should not be.

…’I’m sorry, but the police officer just lost his temper…’…doesn't at all instil any confidence in a police force that are becoming all too often scrutinised for their behaviour…it’s good to see that no excuses are being made by the police and the officer has been removed from all duties…his behaviour was of a thug/no more no less…and maybe the guy in the ground had also shown behaviour of a thug previously to the footage we’ve seen…?..but two thugs don’t make it right or make a law and order society of any type of public confidence…

…but then, the police can be a very rare presence in current times so where would be the confidence in training being what it should be also…

Its not just losing his temper though is it, 3 officers where hurt in the scuffle before hand one with a broken nose, we would all be crying if this guy got up and managed to get a gun off one of the officers and started shooting randomly, it was excessive and he did lose control but it was a heated situation and not one any of us has any experience of being in, if it emerges he has form for this then that is a different story, the whole story is now focussed on the police man and not on the people who were originally fighting in the terminal where it should be, bit of balance from the media would be nice

Zizu in what world did I condone a cop getting her nose broken,but if anything ...that gives them an even better reason to arrest and charge him, sure use force ....but kicking someone in their head really?. Isn't assault on police already a hefty punishment of some kind anyway?. So they would have already been able to get their justice .

But having said that... we're not seeing the full video, and I wasn't there . Emotions & stress run high . There's no way I could be a cop.



If someone broke my nose , I'd be tempted to take it out on them.

[Gusto Brunt]

The thug won't get an sympathy from me.

The thug being the **** who assaulted the police and broke a young lady police officer's jaw.

The officer obviously did the kicking out of anger. He should have controlled his anger but I don't blame him.

Police are scrutinized more these days due to so many bad stories we hear of people getting wrongly shot , tazered and other excessive force situations.

So now unfortunately it will dominate how the police officer was in the wrong more than the actual criminal. Cops are trained to remain calm under pressure and they have a responsibility to the public and themselves...and yes they should use force but not go crazy. Having said that ... I'm not sure how I would react to a friend colleague getting their nose broken,but then I'm not a police officer so it's a different thing.

Usually if a criminal lashes out ...they should cuff them instantly,but it sounds like it got too heated and the criminal wouldn't have made it easy.

[bots]

what if the policeman had put his knee on the guys neck and crushed his windpipe? It's not a large leap from kicking someone in the head, is it

…I don’t think anyone is getting any ‘sympathy’…it isn’t about that, its about the excessive force and violent behaviour shown by a police officer when the person being arrested was on the ground….our police officers showing self gratifying violence isn’t surely a look that any of us should hope to see…

[Livia]

The police are human being, prone to all the emotions humans have. They take endless sh1t from scum every day and when one loses it momentarily, someone posts the video and everyone sets themselves up as judge and jury and people protest in the streets. One day I'd like to see them all jack in the job at the same time... See how we feel about them then.

[Ammi]

…anyway, the force are taking it very seriously and taking appropriate action against the officer, which is what we would expect also…they’re aware of events/actions leading up to but also know that the behaviour displayed wasn’t what they’d expect from their officer…

anyone who is trained in combat knows that the moment you get angry, you have lost the battle. Thats why they have all the problems in america.

…for sure…not just visible anger but action on that anger in such a physical/violent way won’t instil any confidence in a police force that is needed…

I wonder where he was headed and if not travelling alone, if they went on without him, if he was a normal human and sat reading his book or scrolling through TiBB instead of starting fights he would be at his destination now
