Oh no, might the poor man have been exposed to hurry words? He's literally combat experienced then! I'm talking about people who have REALLY been through it. The people you'll be trying to hide behind if you ever find yourself in a similar situation. Utter simp.

I hope you’re in some kind of armed response role, you sound absolutely perfect and not at all like the kind of bone headed reactionary that we should all be afraid of.

He and his party are showing their true colours . The far left is really hateful . To think not long ago they were the party of ecology , how far they have sunk .

I can't believe they've gone from an ecology party, concerned with climate change and renewable energy, to some sort of rump of a Corbynite party, antisemitic, anti police, anti women, and ready to cancel the Home Office and border security.

1 he was not under arrest!
2 he was still armed
3 the officers followed their training
4 yes it was absolutely nesscary to kick him in the head

You still haven't explained why you are trying to use the racism card to defend a racist terrorist

Quite agree

They are literally empathizing with a group that hate them.

They are just so brainwashed they can't see it.

So all Palestinians hate all British people?

Bit of a reach, no?

Did a bit deeper, they will always show you what they are.

Kicking a prone suspect in the head is not part of their training.

You’re writing off all Palestinians as full of hate. That’s pretty evil.

The law allows for proportionate force. That includes kicking a terrorist in the head when he won't give up the weapon he was just trying to harm you with. They did the right things. They started with the least amount of force, asking him to put down the weapon, then they tasered him, then he still wouldn't give up the weapon. They ratcheted up to the least amount of force needed to disarm the fucking lunatic, terrorist.

The next step is to secure his upper body, not kick him in the head.

We live in a country where the innocent Jean Charles de Menezes was shot dead, it’s in all of our interests for police to follow their training properly.

KTheGrey · 30/04/2026 12:53

That’s what they are trained to do - he had not dropped the knife and they were concerned he might have a suicide vest. He was already known to Prevent.

They're trained to kick people on the head? Really?

We also live in a country where innocent Jews are now fearful of going about their daily lives, such is the escalation of hate against them.

It's nothing like that. This guy might have some bruises. He was seen trying to kill people. He lunged at the police with a knife. He continued to hold on to his weapon after he'd been tasered. FFS.

This. Police brutality is not a new thing though, is it? Good for him on speaking out.

Oh come on, the man had stabbed two people, been tased attacked the police and refusing to let go of his knife. If the armed police had been there they would have rightfully shot him.

Tell me, if you think things could be done differently volunteer as a special constable - you wouldn’t last 2 minutes. How would you have arrested the terrorist who very well could have been wearing a suicide vest.

Zach Polanski and his cult members are idiots
