Context provided by whom?
The police??
Who have a history of covering their abuse.

An independent full investigation please.

I'm not sure what "context" makes any difference tbh. He was already down.

If he was a threat and they needed to use reasonable force to take him down, fine. Of course. Stop the threat.

At this point, the threat had gone. He was on the floor.

100%
An armed officer??
Bloody hell what lows are we accepting.

Of course they are going to say 3 officers were assaulted.

They have a history of cover up and lies.

An independent investigation please.

And let this brute be sacked. NOW

How is it reasonable to kick someone in the face when they are lying face down on the floor, arms by their side, not moving, having been tasered?

The conveniently used an Asian officer to give a statement too.

Tut tut tut Greater Manchester Police.
Have you NO SHAME.

I wonder at what point an armed officer is allowed to shoot someone?

From what’s been shared so far, it doesn’t sound as though this was anything to do with terrorism.

Presumably when they are an active threat and lives are in imminent danger.

Appalling policing. That officer was being vindictive. I bet that is not the first time he has done something like that.

Violent man.

How can you do that to anyone.

Then again they had wayne couzens as an officer.

I actually can't be bothered debating with you. You come across as quite aggressive- "read it again" "good for you". Polite people I give the time of day. Others, like you....

Yes I'm the aggressive one, who thinks police brutality isn't okay... you on the other hand?

...

100% agree.
Why will you defend the police without an independent investigation.
Of course the police never lie to cover the tracks. Nor
Rape women
Murder women..

I absolutely support the police but this was another level. He should have subdued him not kicked him in the head

i remember many years ago aged 15 seeing someone kicked in the head at a shopping centre. The force, the noise and the reaction from the person on the ground is something I will never forget

the police officer knows what a kick in the head can do

And it's all kicking off on Twitter now...

There is a lot of footage being posted on Twitter that is making the police look very, very, undisciplined.

Heading to Twitter now 👀

Agreed. These police are not fit for purpose. They are a danger to themselves and other police. That said, 92 % of police complaints are not taken further. Whoever kicks someone in the head should be in prison, it's a sure sign of temper he can't control. Disgusting.

Thanks for your concern

I cannot say that I am surprised, at reading that.

There is one piece of footage where they pepper spray a man who is simply standing nearby. He was not doing anything to warrant the spray.

Not only were the police thugs, but also thick. How do they not realise that people film everything these days?

Context would be relevant IF the kicking had happened while trying to subdue/contain the suspect, in which case fair enough. That's when "fuck about and find out " applies.

At the point it actually happened, lying on the floor, face down, arms still by his side, it becomes irrelevant because there was no need for a head kick. There simply wasn't. It was an action taken in anger and violence, not as part of an arrest. That's why it's an issue.
