The kick to the head seems overly gratuitous to me. The assailant was on the floor and the threat largely neutralised.They were all trained police officers. They tried to calm it and deal with them and arrest them. If someone doesnt want to be arrested and displays that amount of violence to them, where does it stop and how and what else do they do? Shoot him? No. Hes unarmed. Taser? Tried it. Back up? Hes headbutted one of them and shes fucked and not an option. Got to keep an airport full of people safe from them dicks and arrest them come what may, its their job they have to do it. No options left. Do whats needed. Very easy to critise if not in that position and moment. Not a fair view that, respectfully of course

I totally understand it and to be honest in that situation I wouldn't have stopped with just one boot.
But I don't expect the police to behave like I would. Perhaps that's unrealistic.
No offence or criticism intended. Just my observation.
Please remember he was an armed officer under attack his main priority is to ensure that gun does not get taken.The kick to the head seems overly gratuitous to me. The assailant was on the floor and the threat largely neutralised.

I think this thread was actually about a separate incident originally.When will the thread title be amended to "assault on police officers at Manchester Airport"? It wasn't a "disturbance", it was blatant assault.
Fair enough. Forgive me then when people are discussing a different case in the thread..I think this thread was actually about a separate incident originally.
Give me a minute and I’ll split the relevant posts off into a new thread.Fair enough. Forgive me then when people are discussing a different case in the thread..
Apologies, it's not an issue pal and I appreciate what you do.Give me a minute and I’ll split the relevant posts off into a new thread.
The officer explained his actions in court and said he didn’t do the kick out of anger but out of an honest belief that he was trying to get up and didn’t want him to get to his firearm, this being after he raised his head whilst on the ground.I was one of those who was critical of the police officer on here when the initial footage emerged. The new video certainly makes it more understandable why he reacted that way, but still don’t think you can ever really justify stamping on someone’s head, even a twat like that. Anyway, hope justice is served.
He's main intention should be to use the gun in that situation my opinion.Please remember he was an armed officer under attack his main priority is to ensure that gun does not get taken.
There arent male coppers and female coppers. There are just coppers. All trained the same. All just people doing a jobI think we expect to much of our police imho, if there would have been 3 male coppers on duty the outcome could have been different.
Neutralising the **** by any means would have been fine by me.

She would love to explain how hard she tried to raise her sons correctly. Except, alas, she can’t speak English.I remember the outrage at their dear old Mum getting caught up in it ha.
Fuck her, she shouldn't have raised two utter cunts then
Why aren’t you a fan of the police?He's main intention should be to use the gun in that situation my opinion.
I'm no fan of coppers by any means, but if you're armed and faced with that level of violence and all that
We’ve discussed this endlessly, use of force is subjective and based on an honestly held belief-and has to be necessary and proportionate and in accordance with the law.The kick to the head seems overly gratuitous to me. The assailant was on the floor and the threat largely neutralised.

Supposed you could have said there was no threat when that poor accused bloke was just buying his parking ticket…. And then look what happened..The kick to the head seems overly gratuitous to me. The assailant was on the floor and the threat largely neutralised.

I think they peaked around 1980 and Sting is a bit of a twat.Why aren’t you a fan of the police?
