As a serving officer you really shouldn't be sharing and/or commenting on the footage-its understandable however, as yet again they will feel let down by their leaders and politicians and vilified by a very eager media and judged on social media without the full facts.

Well well well, who'd have thought these fine upstanding pillars of society and charity workers would turn out to be out of control thugs, when the police dig a little deeper I'm sure more will come to light, surely there's enough evidence there to charge and arrest them, as for that Mickey mouse "lawyer" do the the fucker for inciting a riot
There was no indication prior that the copper who did the kick had been battered, he was repeatedly punched in his face and back of his head. Changes everything, looking at the way he attacked them female police they should have stamped him to death the piece of shit.
The argument was, and always has been, that there is no context in which it's acceptable for the police the kick someone in the head once they've been neutralised. Some context has been provided but it doesn't change anything. They guy doesn't even look like he's properly come around after being tasered when the officer kicks him. His brother is also sat with his hands in his head at this point. The situation is under control.
The police have a right to arrest and charge the suspects. They dont have a right to undertake extra judicial beatings. Ever. And if they do do that, your opinion might well be that the suspects "deserved it" but it doesn't change the fact that the officer will be investigated and possibly prosecuted for it.
The suspects should also be prosecuted for their part in it. Nobody comes out of it looking good.

This guy has done a detailed breakdown of the incident. He is obviously right leaning but his analysis seems spot on. A very violent and scary incident for which the 2 perpetrators should see jail time.
That video is very well put together.

It's not rocket science, is it?Dont start fighting with the police & then you probably wont get kicked in the face or your head stamped on, not that difficult is it?
I’d say after seeing that video that a lot changed. The media hung that officer out to dry and that video provides some context into what he was actually facing. Two officers already attacked and down, him facing two absolute crazed attackers, he did what he needed to do to control a horrendous situation.The argument was, and always has been, that there is no context in which it's acceptable for the police the kick someone in the head once they've been neutralised.

You can see the male instantly resists-they had already assaulted members of the public, a police officer needs to act decisively at that point-the goal is always control..and as we all know they were met with appalling violence.I am only going by the slo-mo video I have seen. Not sure how I can upload videos on here though, maybe I can't.
The more I see it and think about it, the more I side with the officer doing the kicking-he's taken at least 10 punches to his head, seen his colleagues assaulted and beaten savagely-a situtaion that could have easily gone horribly wrong when firearms are involved.
I have every sympathy with him but fear that this has gone too far for it not to end with his dismissal and criminal sanction-and I can say that whilst still believing that he needs to account for his actions.
I have absolutely zero sympathy for the two males who it would seem have carried out a number of violent assaults without any regard for other's safety or the police.

Not a lot about the other victims these thugs attacked, I suspect the polices hands are tied because it could endanger those victims after the fact. The incident that caused this is devoid of information.

He will have had no idea the thug had been tasered. All he knew was the **** had just punched him several times and then dragged him to the ground.No I'm not fucking wrong. Whatever the provocation, which was severe, I expect an officer of the law to behave to a certain standard.
