Altercation at Terminal 2

A lot of GMP officers have been contacted and threatened due to them sharing the new cctv footage on social media.

GMP going to have to be careful the way this is handled as morale was already at rock bottom across the force.

The results of any investigations could potentially tip staff over the edge.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have stated several times-there are situations where it is entirely appropriate to kick somebody in the head and that 'decision' is a subjective one for the officer and that is how he will be held to account.
 
I imagine there is more vids to come that will make the cunts look even worse. Like them attacking someone in costa.

They probs rue the day they let that grifting tiktok lawyer make them world famous.

I am not sure about that. The start of the video is where the officer bangs the guys head in the machine twice before the other guy comes in. This is what starts what followed with the police officers.

No Idea what went on before as not seen any videos on that.

And police were met with appalling violence after the officer shoved the guys face in the machine twice from behind.

Agree with all that. But from the footage, I don't agree he was neutralised, or that the situation was under control. Sorry.

That is my honest and completely apolitical, secular, non-racial, culture-free view, on the incident as I see it.

Whatever they’ve done prior really doesn’t change anything .

Is it ok to boot a person laying faced down , neutralised and not moving in any circumstance? That is the only question.

What happened prior is In sequential.

Everyone knew the police wouldn’t do it for a laugh or randomly, they did it because there was some sort of altercation shortly prior - of which you would assume the person laying on the ground was involved with and was likely in the wrong.

its from experience partly-police wouldve approached, informed him who they were and taken hold of his arms-he twists and confronts them in an instant. At that point you're past the point of politeness.

I don’t think I could control myself with that barrage of abuse that copper received. If they tried that in most other countries they would have come of much worse
