Altercation at Terminal 2

If only the police had done this at the arena, I’ve no problem whatever the colour of skin . Might as well not have police at airports if this is the reaction , why do people make out it’s racist.
The appropriate thing for an armed officer at the arena seeing someone with a heavy backpack with wires coming out of it would have been a bullet to the head to try and prevent him triggering the device. Any sort of physical altercation wouldn’t have helped.
 
Turns out the guy kicked in the head has deteriated , he is from a policing family and are not criminals , update from police
Think that's an update from their solicitor rather than the police.
 
Did you see the whole incident ?
What could the assailant have done to justify the police officer kicking and stomping on their head whilst they were incapacitated lying facedown on the floor?

Forcefully incapacitating, subduing, and restraining are absolutely warranted and lawful in this situation. But one of the officers, who has since been suspended pending investigation, went beyond lawful use of force, and thus should be held accountable for doing so.

The other police officers, at least from the videos and reports I have seen, seemed to handle things lawfully, even given the relatively extreme circumstances, and I would say they should not be held responsible for that single officer’s behaviour as they did not have the opportunity to intervene given the speed at which his unlawful use of force unfolded.

This was seemingly an instance of many good cops and one very bad cop.
 
If you want to defend people attacking armed police at an airport - you carry on doing so.

Would she have a broken nose if the 2 pricks had just behaved?

How would you feel if your sister or daughter got a broken nose doing her job?
How would you feel if your brother or son was kicked in the head and stamped on by a police officer?
 
Na, you've no idea what the guy did to his colleague, I'd absolutely defend my right to take physical retribution of any kind if someone had assaulted my family or friends, in the heat of the moment preservation takes over.
You can reserve the right to do so as a personal freedom, but you will still be met with the legal consequences for doing so, as this police officer will.

He wasn't attacking armed police, though...he was lying face down on the ground. Big difference.

What is the point of courts, then, if police officers can just determine, in the moment, whether someone deserves to be beaten to an inch of their life after they have already been lawfully incapacitated/subdued, effectively passing judgement and sentence?

Do you support police beating you unconscious, potentially to the point of entering a coma, if you are pissed and gob off toward one of them after a match? Or throw a swing when they approach? If not, why not?

Let's all live in a police state where they decide who gets a good kicking or not. Brain damage first, interrogation next.
 
I'm not up to speed on this. It's being reported as a racially motivated police attack.
Can i ask how this is racially motivated?
Are will going to see riots over this from other Asians just because they were Asians?

If a person complies, no escalation takes place.
Start acting the big man and the force applied will multiply.
Punch a Police officer and all bets are now off.

Although i would say it did seems excessive on the edited short clip i've seen. I don't have the full story and can only say that once a fight breaks out, it is now a "combat" situation normal rules no longer apply.

I agree with you that compliance in this instance and we'd never be talking about it.

I'd like to see other people getting similar if they genuinely stepped out of line with the police and assaulted them (and I am not a fan of the police). And there's far more scummy fuckers deserving of it just round the corner from my house who have lived here since birth. But there is a line, and this cop crossed it with the shackles already on them. Racially motivated? Not a chance. But everything these days involves picking a side and moaning.
 
If anything it gives people the opportunity to use current buzz words like proportionate and robust.
 
Your source for your claim is what?
It's all over sky news. Family solicitor update said brain scan shows a cyst or something. Whether that is caused by this they didn't say but perhaps said cyst was made worse by being twatted in the head? Solicitor stated as much.

All going nicely for a big claim.
 
You can reserve the right to do so as a personal freedom, but you will still be met with the legal consequences for doing so, as this police officer will.
If I was defending someone who had been kicked in the head I'd reserve the right to do the same especially if was a member of my family, I'd not even bother about the consequences, saving my family member would be paramount.

Yep.

Accidentally run a light? Nothing a good few whacks to head with a club can’t prevent in the future.

Accused of stealing something from a store? Beating first then verify if you actually stole something, just in case.

Forget to settle your taxes? Several officers will be round to break one of your fingers each week until you are fully paid.

Get in to brawl at the pub with some rag dickheads and then accidentally throw an elbow in to an officer when they they try to pull you away? Time for a brief coma to set you straight!
