I hope that violent thug loses his job and goes to prison. Certainly can’t be trusted around firearms. How and why would anyone want someone with so little impulse control to be armed?

Since when does robust policing mean stamping on someone’s head when they’re already being held on the ground?
**
Since when do clueless entitled twits whine at criminal thugs getting exactly what they deserve.

Criminal thugs deserve to be detained in an appropriate manner by highly trained professionals and taken through the criminal justice system.

They do not deserve to be kicked multiple times and have their head stamped on with steel toe capped boots when those highly trained professionals have already restrained them.

If you believe that is not a reasonable expectation in a civilised society and that those who believe it is are “entitled”, I sincerely hope that you are never arrested.

The officer involved needs further training and possibly anger management.

I would be inclined to attack someone who had hurt a friend/colleague but I am not a trained, armed (I think?) officer.

Are you an officer by any chance?
You should never be in such a position if that is the case?
Do you think it is also ok to rape and murder women officer?
Imbecile.

If he was about to board a plane with a bomb ok.
But no. This kind of violence is not acceptable
Regardless of the situation before and who was assaulted and how bad it was
This guy was laying face down and not resisting at the time of the police officers assault, the police officer kicked him in the head and stamped on his head and then attacked the other guy who was sitting with his hands behind his head and complying he also hit him with his taser

This level of violence is shocking and the police officer - Especially one that is armed should have 100% control of themselves and their motions
This was not reasonable force and this is unacceptable and is another reason that police are not trusted

Were they holding a police station hostage or were they protesting police brutality? The article I read described it as protest with people chanting 'Shame on you GMP' which seems fair enough to me.

A firearms officer has responsibility to remain calm and in control.
He 'lost his cool' does not cut it.

Does he lose his cool at home too behind closed doors?
His behaviour shows he has anger issues and should be in no such position of fire arms or any officer position.

He will and should lose his job.

Would you feel the same if this was a teacher doing it to a pupil? They also see high levels of anti social behaviour, get sworn at, spat at ,threatened, assaulted,things thrown at them etc. and they actually have no recourse or way to defend themselves. No back up, no tasers etc.Should school staff lose their cool and start kicking pupils in the head?

Was the man going to grab a weapon with his head? He was already on the floor when it happened. Surely if he was reaching for a weapon you'd kick the arm reaching for it?

So what you are saying is that police should deal with violent criminal thugs by being violent criminal thugs themselves?

OK.

@RookieMa can you link to footage of him very, very violent, please?

The guy assaulted 3 police officers resulting in one female officer having her nose broken, to be honest I think the force was pretty fair.

There seems to be some doubt about the veracity of the police version of things. It will be interesting to see what the actual truth is.

Up to the point where the offender was subdued, then yes. From that point forward, a big fat NO!

The guy assaulted 3 police officers resulting in one female officer having her nose broken, to be honest I think the force was pretty fair“

You think kicking someone in the head with steel toe capped boots when they’re tightly restrained on the ground, potentially causing brain damage, is “fair”?

Jesus, society is going backwards. No wonder Reform did so well.

This. I fully support robust policing particularly when risk with firearms but this was not that.

I don't know what is more sickening, the video footage itself or the people actually condoning the actions of that officer. I despair. Truly.

@Badburyrings has there been confirmation that it was this specific man that assaulted the police officers? I've seen 4 men were charged with that , but no concrete statement that he was one of them and what his part was.

Even if he was guilty or harming all the police officers, it's irrelevant as he wasn't assaulting them AT THE TIME of the kicking. He was lying on the floor , face down. That's not how policing works.

I’m a bit hmm, they were violent, they broke a female police officers nose, a few police officers had to go to hospital, there was a claim they tried to grab an officers firearm. this was all because a police officer wanted to search their mum (I am assuming they would have been offered a female officer).

I assumed the police officer wanted to make sure they were properly subdued and there was no chance of them getting off the floor. Still feel a bit queasy about watching a mans head get kicked and it seemed excessive.

However most of us manage to get through the airport without getting our head kicked in by armed police. I’ve been taken aside for search, happened quite a few times after 9/11, I didn’t take it personally.

I am concerned with what now and the retaliation on both sides ie riots.
Both are very very in the wrong but as police officer once that man was on the ground he should've been diffusing the situation not acting in anger

In this footage you can see a second man who is complying and sitting with his hands on his head. He is also kicked by another officer and then punched, despite him following their instructions.

I'm on the right of the political spectrum so no one can accuse me of being a " Liberal snowflake". People are completely missing the point here - the job of the police is to enforce the law not deal out their own version of it like judge Dredd. It's irrelevant how much of a scumbag the person arrested is or what he is done, there is no justification for someone purporting to represent the law actually breaking the law and stomping on someone's head as they lie on the floor. Even if on a moral level many of us would agree an individual assaulting a women deserves it, the police are not moral arbitrators or employed to dish out punishment as they see fit

Where does this slippery slope end, would robbers and burglars deserve a kicking or maybe a quick jab by a police officer in the ribs for a traffic offence behind a Bush on the M6. I fully agree that the person kicked in the head is an utter scumbag, and should be facing a lengthy spell in prison if the allegations against him are true, but allowing police to dish out punishment " as they deserved it" is dangerous for any civilised society. The role of the police is to subdue and put these scumbags in front of a court which deals with the punishment, not deliver it themselves.

This cop is a thug, was completely out of control and clearly unfit to serve in the police. The stomp on the head was motivated by rage, not " robust policing " and if any member of the public did it, they would be in prison for GBH.

Do you know exactly what caused the problem and why the police have to attend ? Seems like you’re apologising polices actions.

many go shopping every day yet , George Floyd was killed by a police officer who is in prison now. There is no need to kick someone’s head to make sure they were properly subsued

I guess those justifying it have missed the news that racism played a big part on what happened.

Police aren't there to " dish out a case of their own medicine". They are there to put scum in front of a court..you have been watching too many reruns of judge Dredd. Imagine at every arrest a cop took that attitude and dished out his own brand of justice.
