No, it’s not.

Other than the fact that prisoner on prison violence is nothing to be celebrated because it points to a complete failing in our prison system, it’s absolutely not an equivalent comparison.

It’s not a competition. Both are brutal. And it wasn’t proportionate, he could easily have died and the kicker would be facing a murder charge.

They couldn’t get to his arms while he was holding a knife

No the question is “what would you have done?”

He was on the floor. He was not able to continue his attack. Kicking him in the head did nothing to de-escalate the situation. It could well be GBH with intent, s.18.

He wasn’t.

He still had the knife.

And my answer is I wouldn’t have kicked him in the head.

He was unable to use it.

And do what instead?

No, he could have easily continued the attack.

Why are you so desperate to m as me an anti Semitic terrorist who had no issue stabbing people a victim?

According to Twitter, the perp stabbed 2 police officers and a police dog in 2008.

But nobody cares.

Except he clearly had intention of using it again as he would not give it up.

Why??? How do you know that? How do you know he didn’t have a gun or suicide vest hidden

You don’t know that.

He’s a danger while he still has his weapon.

He could have discarded the knife when ordered. He didn’t.

Did the police know that?

if he could, the police had evidently failed at neutralising the situation and further violence wouldn’t do anything to the situation.

I’ve not actually mentioned the perpetrator at all, as I think he’s disgusting and not worth the energy it would take for me to think of him. What I have done is say I do not want a police force that feels increasingly comfortable with using excessive force. That’s how you end up with a police force like the one in America, where they have police officers who feel comfortable shooting people at a traffic stop.

Hypotheticals now. If my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle.

ZP is a terrorist supporter

Obviously the police should have kindly asked him and he would have obeyed according to some of these replies 🧐

Not when they are dealing with a armed terrorist who could have a suicide vest on.

This is not like the case @BIossomtoes linked to which was 2 unarmed violent twats, which btw the officers were found to have used reasonable force, but an armed active terrorist who was refusing to let go of his weapon and was actively resisting arrest, so if the 1st set of officers were found to have used reasonable force by kicking the thugs at Manchester Airport then its absolutely clear that kicking an armed active terrorist in the head is 100% reasonable force

Well yeh since you wouldn’t know would you

He could easily avoided any need to kick him in the head though.

You have remembered that he is a terrorist who armed himself and tried to kill people? He got up that morning and made his decisions - I really have no idea why you continue to criticise the police for doing a job. Imagine how you’d feel if he was coming for you.

So how does kicking him the head secure his hypothetical vest?

If you see the video, the kicking doesn't work, the officer ends up securing his arms.

I think you’re unable to have more than a surface level conversation about this.

The issue isn’t that the police stopped a terrorist. The issue is that they used excessive force once he was stopped.

If we live in a country where police are being encouraged to use potentially lethal levels of force (kicking someone in the head can quite easily kill them), and it’s normalised and celebrated, we will have a society where that level of force is normalised within the police force. If you get called evil, an anti semite, a “terrorist sympathiser” for pointing out that perhaps some of their actions were not the best, it plays into the hands of those officers who do want to use their position and abuse it.

We have seen multiple times that there are plenty of bad eggs in the police force (and I am not saying that these officers are “bad eggs”, before someone says that I am). If we normalise this, where does it end? A police officer pulling you out of your car and kicking you in the head because they can’t see your hands at a traffic stop? Police officers using their positions to abuse women, as has happened before?

This is a debate with layers to it but some people seem entirely unable to have that conversation.

I really hope that neither Zack Polanski, nor his partner nor any of his loved ones are victims of a terrorist attack. It would be a tough lesson for him on the realities of policing.
