Altercation at Terminal 2

An angle I and probably most wouldn't have considered. There is a lot to it and all happens so fast. It is certainly not as simple as a basic loss of control or temper.
I think you could easily argue that in his mind he had to exert such force on the first male to ensure he was not going to be a further threat in order to move to the first male.

Indeed, he does that. It’s violent it’s potentially v dangerous but he stops the first male. The taser whilst temporarily incapacitating him was not a guarantee to do this. This was a deranged and out of control violent individual intent on doing untold harm to the police.
 
I'm not sure that's true. Doesn't sound like it is, and I'm pretty sure there are numerous cases of people getting done for assault and manslaughter in such circumstances.

Either way, not particularly relevant here. Other than, you are right it will hinge on whether the situation was under control and whether he was still a threat. From what I have seen, I don't think it was, and I think he was still a threat, even some time after the kick.
Is there? I don't know it would seem madness that you are expected to stand there and just get punched. I watched a documentary a few years back called one punch killers and what you state certainly wasn't the case.
 
Just watched the news. It seems this group had been causing trouble in at least two other places before this. The copper go a beating as his two females colleagues go a beating as well. The copper go away from his attacker and tasered him. Than tackles the one who attacked his two female colleagues. The copper deserves a medal.

I thought the blonde female cop was really good and it probably makes me slightly sexist in a way as I was impressed because she was a woman and bravery

As the lad decked the redhead she still lunged toward him on instinct and then covered up in a shell to protect herself, as soon as he left her to jump on the male cops back she was straight out with the taser and took him down

Brave young lady

I think they were all incredibly brave-they never backed off.
 
Yes, I’ve thought all along that had it kicked him and then jumped on him to cuff him it ‘looks’ much better-because he leaves him-now he could argue that he had to subdue him sufficiently before attending to the second male (who had already punched him numerous times) and left the first male to be cuffed by the blonde female-which happened.

Just watching some of the video back again...

The ''stamp'' suspect is left completely unattended for at least a few seconds (I counted roughly 10) whilst the officer goes to deal with the ''sitting suspect''.

It's only once the ''sitting'' suspect is then taken to the floor and apprehended that the ''stamp'' suspect is then also apprehended by one of his colleagues (looks to be the blonde female, as you mentioned)

Obviously the officer could be thinking he's in a 2 vs 1 situation here due to the awful violence against his colleagues, and decides that as he's done a bit of damage to ''stamp'' suspect he can now leave him and deal with ''sitting'' suspect, but part of me does wonder that if you felt your weapons were at risk of being used against you, you would deal with ''stamp'' suspect in full (IE cuff him so he can't do anything) where you can also keep full view on the ''sitting'' suspect as you do it.

Probably just looking into it all in far too curious a manner, though I guess I'm second guessing how it might be viewed by courts and lawyers etc

No, you are correct. It’s incredibly complex, not least because we are trying to get into the officer’s head.
 
I see the family have got rid of TikTok man and employed someone else now. And this one says the family are ‘concerned for the hurt officers.’
Credit to them for that; they've done the right thing. The bloke was a shit stirrer, and it's laughable that he's a lawyer. I also think they realise that the release of the second video has significantly damaged their case.
