Sickening behaviour. Surely tasering the man is enough.
He is on the floor tasered so you give him some kickings to the head?

Hope this is properly investigated.
Greater Manchester Police have an awful reputation.

Yes can see why officer got angry.

However, a firearms officer should never loose control and get angry.

Ever.

He shouldn't but he did, so what. He didn't shoot anyone.

Let's hope he gets an official brief slap on the wrist for the frothers whilst no doubt a few slaps on the back from colleagues in private.

I don’t think you can dictate from mn nor is it realistic

Imagine facing that violence

and as pp said in so many other countries the weapon would have shot the attacker

This is why GMP are in the trouble they are already.

The slap on the back for unprofessional behaviour will soon catch up.

How is this relevant? I'm sure every police force has ongoing complaints to deal with.
