Greater Manchester Police brutality

Anyone breaking the law.

Analysis here. Suggests that when the guy in the blue top was tasered the cop that kicked him had his back to him and may not of known.
Also as the blue top and the cop are struggling before he is tasered and fall to the ground blue boy looks to possibly have his hand on his holster

He wasn’t, though.

He was tasered. The effects of being tasered wear off instantly. It’s not unreasonable for the police officers to assume he would get back on his feet given how violent he was and his determination and willingness to inflict violence upon those police officers.

@LittleRedHen77 you can stop clutching your pearls I absolutely don't think that level of violence is acceptable.

I was asked who I thought it escalated it. Observing that the point of escalation appears to be the headlock doesn't mean that I condone the violence. If a police officer put my brother in a headlock I certainly wouldn't be throwing any punches.

Define crime. Lesbian nan springs to mind.

If I was one of the police officers, based on his extremely violent assault on myself and my colleagues in the past few seconds and the movement of his head, I would be very concerned that he would try to get up and continue his extremely violent assault.

I would also be not sure that he would let me apply handcuffs and I would also be very concerned that he might have some friends with him who also might assault me.

Maybe
Or maybe they handled it wrong in the way they made there approach - even trained people make mistakes.

Because he was already subdued. That's the issue.

You have been utterly suckered, you hand wringers.

I’m unsure as to why we need to cross examine ourselves

The line where a lesser amount of force is needed was crossed when
A a police office was injured
B it was in a high security area
C there was the potential for the copper to loose control of his weapon.

There’s three reasons why he gets subdued and questions get asked later.

I’d rather the cops do that than the authorities loose control and potentially see a shooting happen
I agree that stamping and kicking is head is strong and indeed a lottery of injuries
But in getting back control of the situation it’s fair game.

This country is a joke. Those thugs savagely beat a female police officer doing her job.

The police are far too soft in this country and are being smothered and restricted further. Now a criminal investigation for this police officer? Meanwhile my neighbours house was burgled and the perpetrators defected on the bed a spray painted their name on the wall yet ….. not enough evidence to find and prosecute?

Public servants can literally no longer do their jobs! Police can’t police, Doctors and Nurses practicing defensively, and none of this serves the public’s best interests!

@Vivi0

The police officers were attacked in an extremely violent way whilst doing their job.

Exactly. In an airport too. What fucking idiot thinks it's a good idea to start throwing punches at armed officers in such an environment? It's entitlement on an other level.

You're honestly crazy. You can't punch police officers for trying to arrest your brother. That's not how it works. I'm incredulous that you genuinely think that level of violence is acceptable. Most normal people wouldn't even try to resist arrest, but you definitely can't start attacking police for trying to arrest someone else. How do you think a lawful society would function if this became typical behaviour.

Sorry I meant Krays.

That’s down to the violent actions of the men though

If it look brutal and out of control it’s because they were

Like its the old bill up against the Crays or whoever.

If someone behaves in a criminal way, I’m of the opinion that the police should react in whatever way they see fit. There should be fear of the police by anyone committing crime. And if people don’t commit a crime, then they have nothing to fear.

Control was lost spectacularly quickly because of the frighteningly quick level of violence used against the officers. How does one maintain control when being punched off of their feet, or being attacked from behind?

I’ve seen so many comments referring to the incident as a “fight” or “getting physical”, as if part of the job for a police officer is getting involved in scraps with people.

The police officers were attacked in an extremely violent way whilst doing their job.

@Vivi0 "Would you have preferred they shot the two men?"

What do you think? I'm not a police trainer but I would have thought one of the top priorities is to maintain control of a situation. Control was lost spectacularly quickly! Thankfully they were able to regain it.

@cakeorwine As I say, I expect this will be cleared up when we see the full CCTV / body worn footage.

Its not a pub brawl though, is it? Why would anyone throw punches at the police. They ae there to protect us.

They are much better trained than you are, so they obviously had their reasons, didn’t they.

Glad that video evidence is now available showing actions prior to the incident. It certainly puts to bed the lies spun by the thugs that they were doing nothing wrong. Now time to move on. Nothing to see here…

Why approach from behind?
Why a headlock so quickly.
It was a busy environment. The police officers were attacked from behind.

Could they have waited until he was away from the other people and been approached from in front?

Did it need to be handled in the way it was at the start ?
