"Her"

Ah assumed you were a man based on your comments on the other thread about how many people women have slept with! My mistake.

The police are trained to kick someone in the head? Really?

In many other countries whose police routinely carry arms, they probably wiuld be shot dead. Dance with the devil etc etc etc.I cant beleive how many women, mothers, sisters, grandmother's on this thread are expressing sympathy for a terrorist
A TERRORIST FOR FUCKS SAKE.

Unfortunately, some people will always excuse violence against Jews. It's shocking in the UK in 2026.

AtIusvue · 30/04/2026 13:10

Do people actually think this is what a real kicking to the head looks like?. Be thankful you’ve never actually seen someone’s head kicked like a football.

This terrorist, who set out to murder multiple people, was still armed. There was an immediate threat to life and limb and the actions were proportionate in the chaos of that moment. You might not like it, but you all seriously need to get a grip on reality.

@coulditbeme2323 won't actually explain his point but will just say that you won't listen as he has above

Funnily enough I didn't expect anything coherent or good faith from the person that started this thread 😂

Lindy2 · 30/04/2026 13:11

In countries where police are armed I expect he would have been shot for not dropping the knife. Don't forget he wasn't just carrying a knife he refused to drop, he had already tried to murder 2 innocent people.

I think the police were incredibly brave and efficient in detaining him. He wouldn't drop the knife, he was a very clear danger. In that situation it's safer to subdue the armed criminal with booted feet than to try and use hands.

He deserves every bruise he got. In other countries he'd be dead.

No, they're trained to pacify them with sweet words and to ask nicely for the knife the terrorist won't give up. 🙄 Kicking doesn't put your vital organs on the line while you wrestle a knife out of a madman's hands.

That didn’t answer the question though. Are they train to specifically kick someone in the head?

ZP is not evil - but he is an idiotic twat.

Terrorists are evil - whatever the cause they commit atrocities in.

If only people on the internet were in charge of police training and tactics in the face of deadly threat and force. Oh, if only <<wrings hands>>

Sorry, but could you point me to the person who has justified/excused the perpetrator's act? People have raised concerns about the officers' treatment of the suspect. I haven't seen anyone excusing violence against Jews.

Really? He was a terrorist. What should they have done?

Taser him, if they had tasers of course. Kick him on other parts of the body and not the head, restrain him as they have no doubt been trained to do. I would prefer him not to be seriously injured so that he is fit to stand trial asap.

OrangeAxolotyl · 30/04/2026 13:14

Maybe Zack Polanski could have hypnotised the knife man to make him drop the weapon. I suppose there's always the risk that he would just make the man's boobs grow, though.

Did you just assume "their" gender?

Hope so if it disarms a terrorist.
The terrorist had just minutes prior stabbed an innocent pedestrian in the neck.

They had already tasered him you can hear “taser” and see it in the footage being deployed. Yet he still did not drop the weapon or follow police commands

Maybe they should have whispered "gentle hands" and validated his feelings?

Pearly5 · 30/04/2026 13:16

YANBU he’s evil. Laughable for anyone watching that and thinking they would react any differently when they are unarmed and a monster is trying to stab them. Those officers were nothing but brave.
Already knew Zac was evil though. His own family members said they were probably leave the country if he was ever PM, what does that tell you.

You are so far removed from your original post. Too biased in who had done what and is from what group to be able to effectively discuss policing practices.

As someone said early on in this thread, treating anyone in this manner normalises it in a way that is dangerous for everyone.

MabelRoyds · 30/04/2026 13:17

All these people concerned about he knife attackers head….. if it was you, your child, your mother, that had been stabbed by him…. Would be you be yelping ‘ be careful of head!’ As he refuses to relinquish his knife?
