Yes it will be a mitigating factor but not an excuse. The only excuse would be if the guy on the ground was still a threat or could have legitimately been perceived as a threat and the answer to that will come out in the investigation.Don't the investigative panels take into consideration the context of why he kicked and stamped on him?
If he did indeed see his fellow officer punched in the face (and it was unwarranted as we still don't know what led to it) then that will be a mitigating factor.
Not really. The force has to be reasonable and proportionate in accordance to law at the time of its use-but it all depends.Don't the investigative panels take into consideration the context of why he kicked and stamped on him?

I think it was me that mentioned Asian. I was commenting on a tweet that was posted that included the word. Up to that point I didn't think to look at anyone's ethnicity (and still haven't). The point I was trying to make, rather badly as it seems, is that the tweet stated the word Asian in order to make out it was a racially motivated issue.Wont be long until some gobshite from stateside lands at Ringway for a couple of months grift. The usual suspects on here mentioned Asian just to stoke the fires.
We should get behind the coppers who are doing a difficult job.
Why don’t you start a thread about that if it bothers you so fucking much??Fuck him.
I trust the police to have done what was needed.
Now, onto the coverage of the soldier who was near hacked to death…

Apologies if you see me as "one of the usual suspects ".
What for breaking a woman's coppers nose ? Get real...If I was one of those cops and they had just assaulted a member of my family I would have shot their fucking throats out.
OK, sorry! Thanks for clearing that up. Just off to take a chill pill now :-)I meant the tweet mate, it was posted intentionally imho and you rightly pointed that intention out.
The red haired officer looks like she was the one who sustained the broken nose -aside from being overwhelmed she would’ve been in a lot of pain.
But I would add you cannot justify being assaulted at your place of work-it is not merely an expected consequence.
The officers have tasers in their hands. I understand as firearms officers they will have had sidearms too-but not 100% on that.
Wrong police force there pal.
It was GMP who were involved and nothing at all to do with the Met .
What did the tosser post?
I assume he’s been banned. Hasn’t he??Enoch Powell picture with some bollocks caption about trying to warn us all.
Always surprises me how some people are seemingly very happy to out themselves as a bigoted wanker.....bizarre behaviour.
