Incident at Manchester Airport

They've got Tasers , pepper spray and batons . No need to kick him in the head but as a member of the public I would have done.
 
Not the 2 little dopey boys they look in the pictures released in the press after the event, and definitely the instigators of the aggression.
The video we’ve been seeing definitely started at the only sympathetic part of the film for the ‘victims.’
You can see the female office get whacked too, lets hope she hasnt a cyst in her head.

That footage is insane. Absolute thugs with no respect for our law or females. They absolutely carried a real threat at the point the officer went too far. I can’t believe they tried to play the victim here, but I can believe the toxic-compassionate do gooders jumped on it so fast before knowing the full picture
 
Bend it like Suddick said:

Shook his hand and said, don't worry you are all misunderstood and please come to the station??

Yes it was wrong, but I know what side of the fence I stand on, and I wouldn't have shook the slimy little gits hand.

I would have ripped his head off tbh, but not if I was a copper, they are supposedly trained to show restraint,the guy was on the floor,not going anywhere, nicked.
He took a cheap shot that could have ended a lot worse, he could’ve been looking at a prison sentence.

One officer was attacked from the back, how the merry feck can he/she use a PS, Taser or baton under those circumstances?
Latter part of your sentence, with reservations 👍

I was referring to the kick and stamp on the head later. Are there cameras in the cells now or could they have "fallen" down the stairs if you know what I mean?
 
I know this is going to be controversial but watch the first two seconds closely.

What I see is someone surrendering to the police. He’s stood facing the vending machine with his hands behind his back. Compliant. Two police officer are presumably trying to cuff him and one then forcefully pushes his head forward, possibly connecting with the vending machine.

And then it all kicks off as family members intervene.

Not an excuse. But we still need to see more footage to reach an objective view.

Its on daily mail online.
The lad in blue is obviously fired up from the incident that has resulted in the police getting involved.
Seems to be a lack of technique from the police when it comes to arresting him.
He is lashing out at everyone around him so it's unfortunate that the WPC bravely going into the melee has copped one but as a frontline officer I'm sure she will know that these things happen. The alternative is to put women in different roles to men and im sure most wouldn't want that.
Lad in blue is in the wrong so is the copper that takes the kicks at his head when he is down.
There's also footage from the airport of another man getting pepper sprayed when it appears that he is posing no physical threat, this obviously causes a reaction and there is another ruck with the police.
My take is the arrests were poorly executed, the kicking copper needs prosecuting and so does the lad in blue.

Definitely know what you mean OL. Cell blocks and access have been fully covered by cameras for about 20 years, but I'm not sure if transport is.
 
However you dissect the smoothness of the arrest, and whatever punishment falls upon the copper now, what is absolutely clear is that the public have been played. The editing of the footage is shocking, and the behaviour of the ‘victims’ and their solicitor selling this on as a racist attack is a disgrace.
As a result the protests and what may have happened in Rochdale and Manchester could have had serious ramifications.

I agree as well. From watching the latest clip it also looks to me like the arresting officer who may, or may not, have slammed the suspect’s head into the vending machine, is also the officer who later delivered the kick and the stomp.

Watch the video above. Identify the officer in question. And then follow his movements to the end. Then watch the clips of the kicking and stomping. Where is that officer stood?

I didn't know the solicitor had said that this was a racist incident, maybe the out of control police officer is racist, hopefully he isn't but the solicitor should only go down this route if he has solid evidence to back it up.
Between them the solicitor and the crazy cop look to have been unprofessional and inflammatory.

I agree the editing is very selective and I think the public are still being played.

Plus we still don’t know why the whole incident started in the first place.

I agree totally about the solicitor.

The press say the whole thing started mid-air when the mother of the lads was in an argument. I guess that’s what led to the assault after landing.

Yes I read that. And then mum was assaulted in arrivals. Family intervened. Police stepped forward. And it went from there.

Then solicitor and right wing politicians and pundits jump on the bandwagon.

Fecking depressing really.

An incident in the air, then a violent incident with the sons at Terminal 2, which appears to be why they were arrested, then the shenanigans we have seen.

At least I’m conscious I’m doing it and try to filter it out. Unlike your good self…… eh!

And by the way. Don’t try to hijack another thread and turn it into a “Hey. Look at me! I’m 20s!!” Self love fest.

Unfortunately, we have to hold police officers to a higher standard, much like we did politicians during lockdown.

Especially armed officers. If he was that annoyed he could have shot them and would that be acceptable?

It's a fine line Wiz, and on reflection with his actions, he might have been very close to brandishing it. Thank goodness he didn't as the kicking was bad enough. Yet another bad example for the Police Service to endure and reflect on.

We don't know how her nose was broken and I think attempted murder is taking retaliation a bit far? It's also really cowardly, it's just serious assault against someone defenceless, bit late after the incident.

Thank god I didn't have to rely on you for watching my back. Grading a broken nose is one thing, but attempted murder is priceless.
 
Bend it like Suddick said:
Probably because:

a) He was rather busy getting assaulted

b) He didn't have eyes in the back of his head

but being pedantic, perhaps he didn't

It's not pedantic, kerb stomping someone already restrained after her nose has been broken is just thuggish retaliation after failing to 'have her back'.
