There was a serious attempt to take weapons off armed officers. The video doesn't show that.Absolute scumbag police.
The guy is incapacitated and he kicks then stamps on his head? This is why no one has respect for the police. They think they are above the law.
The guy is on the floor and not about blow anyone up or shoot anyone.Trying to read the order of things here.. Sky say the 3 responding officers were all taken to hospital inc a female officer with a broken nose… did these armed officers then turn up??
Agree.. but that wasn’t my question…The guy is on the floor and not about blow anyone up or shoot anyone.
The scum copper needs to lose his pension, his job and his freedom.
Irrelevant. He was on the floor, incapacitated. Job done. No need to smash him in the head…twice…There was a serious attempt to take weapons off armed officers. The video doesn't show that.
I read they were armed and worried that a gun could be taken from them in the melee. However if he was already incapacitated that argument doesn’t ring true. He must have known someone would film him. It seems like he had lost control of himself.Trying to read the order of things here..

Consequences should be meted out at court, but with our prisons full, people seem to be getting off practically Scot free
Looks that way… looks like he lost the plot with what had gone on before…. Big mistake and consequences will follow…I read they were armed and worried that a gun could be taken from them in the melee. However if he was already incapacitated that argument doesn’t ring true.

Police have said there was a risk of firearms being taken, not an attempt. Nevertheless they had tasers. Would the obvious thing in those circumstances no be to taser him rather than kick him.There was a serious attempt to take weapons off armed officers. The video doesn't show that.
Where’s the video footage of the poor female officer who had her nose broke by a coward
Left woke media won’t show this and they should to show balance
Is the police man wrong , yes he is ,he can’t do this , but if this was me and your wife or partner was attacked you retaliate yes
But I hear you say , he is a policeman , he must show restraint
Its worse than that, the reporting on the police statement seems to say that because armed officers had arrived on the scene there was more risk to police officers (the risk of firearms being taken) in general. How? The only risk seems to be police officers. To themselves and to the public at large.Police have said there was a risk of firearms being taken, not an attempt. Nevertheless they had tasers.

Yet that's exactly the treatment some on this board wanted to be meted out to the rioters in Harehills. The same people were waffling on about two tier policing, soft touch, woke etcIrrelevant. He was on the floor, incapacitated. Job done. No need to smash him in the head…twice…
The worry is that an armed police officer could so easily appear to lose control. When that happens in America someone invariably ends up dead. God forbid we ever get into that here. This was apparently an altercation between some people who knew each other. Why were armed police deployed in the first place. Or do all airport police carry guns?Its worse than that, the reporting on the police statement seems to say that because armed officers had arrived on the scene there was more risk to police officers (the risk of firearms being taken) in general.

I think most are armed.. years ago we had a flight to Ibiza cancelled until the next day.. the TUI rep gathered approx 200 of us together to tell us.. behind her were two armed officers….The worry is that an armed police officer could so easily appear to lose control.

Is there video footage? This has come to light because a member of the public filmed it and posted it on social media. Nothing to do with the press. I’m sure if there is footage of the officer being assaulted it will come out, especially as most of the press is right wing.Where’s the video footage of the poor female officer who had her nose broke by a coward

Peace and love man.. we were waving our joss sticks in the air and feeling the Ibiza vibeYou must have looked a scary lot![]()
Sky News say a female officer has a broken nose and 2 officers were forced to the ground and required hospital treatment at an incident prior to what we are seeing. These officers we see went to apprehend the accused after following them on cctv footage in the airport following the aforementioned incident.Is there video footage?

As for the officer, he wasn’t just a policeman, he was an armed policeman and yes I’m sure most of us would expect armed officers to show restraint or the result could be fatal. By doing what he did this officer has handed the moral high ground to someone should be having the book thrown at him.
Will this “hate crime” apply to the Muslim chap who apparently broke the nose of the white female police officer?That he was apparently beating up Muslims will be noted in the investigation; whether relevant or not he might be accused of racism or a “hate crime”.
They don't want to touch that one just in case the assailant comes from a certain background.Totally unacceptable behaviour by the police officer but it’s a shame that the same media coverage hasn’t been given to the poor soldier who was hacked almost to death outside his barracks earlier in the week.
Maybe, it should come out in the court case and if it was a hate crime the court will punish him for it.Will this “hate crime” apply to the Muslim chap who apparently broke the nose of the white female police officer?
Excellent point.Totally unacceptable behaviour by the police officer but it’s a shame that the same media coverage hasn’t been given to the poor soldier who was hacked almost to death outside his barracks earlier in the week.
We’ll see. In my experience it takes a special type of knobhead to kick off at an airportMaybe, it should come out in the court case and if it was a hate crime the court will punish him for it.
No outrage from me i know there are police officers that act like the man in the video, its more like disappointed acceptance of a reality from myself. I've been on the wrong end of unprofessional, violent treatment ftom GMP and guess what they also exagerate and lie in order to protect themselves.We’ll see. In my experience it takes a special type of knobhead to kick off at an airport
3 officers assaulted, 1 a female with a broken nose… wonder what happened before the boot on the floor (which shouldn’t happen at all).
The outrage from some appears to only be for the boot?
The thing is though that when he was kicked in the head he was lying on the floor and not a danger. Anything that happened before then is irrelevant to the kicking. It was unnecessary and extreme and showed a gross lack of discipline from an officer carrying a gun. Sadly all the officer has managed to do is bring the police into disrepute and turn this (presumably) villain into a hero in the eyes of some.Here is an idea, when the police ask you to do something maybe you should do as they ask.
Good post that sootyPolicing must be a tough job at times when attempting to deal with criminals, agitated people, drunks, druggies & general dickheads to name a few. But & here's the but aren't the police supposed to exercise the self control that many of the perpetrators of these crimes clearly do not. My belief is somewhere along these lines, most decent people know how to react to a situation & where the lines lay, this must apply to the police too. Unfortunately it does seem to attract more of the officious types & some thugs. There will be times where the right approach can defuse a situation whereas a tough approach will simply make things worse. Other circumstances will require swift direct action as may have been the case in this incident, but stamping on even a violent dickheads head surely isn't in the police training manual.
We've all seen examples of over the top behaviour from some police officers & it really riles you up it certainly does with myself when you've done nothing wrong & adds fuel to the fire.
On the flip side I've witnessed unbelievable restraint from the police in dealing with usually drunken idiots who should have been immediately cuffed & bundled into the cells & they couldn't argue they didn't deserve it. It would appear this officer comes from my first example & should be dealt with accordingly.
