Seems like a good thread name to post this (and future police brutality)

YouTube footage 'shows police officer stamping' on man

Campaigners against police violence release video of claimed 'assault' on prone man in Brixton

Campaigners against police violence have released footage they claim shows a Metropolitan police officer stamping on the face of a man he was handcuffing in south London on Sunday evening.

Activists from Brixton Police Monitor have posted a clip on YouTube of two officers arresting the man as he lays face down and apparently unconscious on the public square outside the Ritzy cinema.

Can we discuss past police brutality/stupidity/twattishness too?

They actually want to redevelop & rebuild the cop shop so unfortunately burning it down would be doing them a favour

Sloppy, pickmans. Razing it is quite sufficient.

The video above is the initial police statement. I'm totally astounded that he says to her not to tweet about it because it may lead to community tension and may leave herself open to a public order offence!
