Statement from Greater Manchester police. Still completely unjustified IMO:

Their firearms might have been taken so that makes it ok to use excessive and completely unnecessary force. Pull the other one! No doubt a year of paid leave or desk job, followed by a promotion awaits.

Statement from Greater Manchester police. Still completely unjustified IMO:

View attachment 434722

On the video it appeared that there was one man, to me clearly unwell, face down on the floor being attended to by a woman.

That doesn't sound like the event the statement described but even if there was an earlier altercation there was zero justification for that police officer to viciously kick the man in the face then stamp on his head.

I appreciate there was concern over access to firearms but think that's a red herring.

The whole statement has an air 'yeah, well, they started it'. There's no contrition or apology, not even a hint of regret. Given their recent coverage in the press, GMP have a lot to do to mend their relationship with the public.

This is Greater Manchester police. The more I hear about them, the less I like. They seem to have a reputation of not giving a fuck.

Yeah, I have to travel more to Manchester these days and I just keep my fingers crossed I don't need the police while I am there.

Tosser Tice thinks this is fine, in fact the police should do this a lot more often

I think the police would do much to repair their reputation if they were filmed stamping on tice's head before moving on to farage

Tice interviewed about GMP by Kyle on TalkTV - was this not portended in the Book of Revelations?

i suspect the Officer who 'stomped' is looking at the barring list even if he doesn't face seperate criminal charges

"A Greater Manchester Police officer has been 'removed from operational duties' after a video showed a man being kicked in the head during an incident at Manchester Airport, it has been confirmed ..."

Greater Manchester Police officer 'removed from operational duties' after video showed man being kicked in head at Manchester Airport

"Greater Manchester Police's Assistant Chief Constable Wasim Chaudhry has tonight issued a further statement on the incident. In it, he confirmed that a male officer has been 'removed from operational duties.' The force confirmed he has not been suspended."

 

[teqniq]

Should be facing criminal charges and the sack but it looks like maybe they are hoping it will 'go away'.

 

[equationgirl]

This isn't good enough. While I am relieved he is no longer on operational duties, his actions on the video were unequivocal and he doesn't deserve to keep his job after his behaviour.

 

[ID47]

How is this not aggravated assault and ABH? Forget sacking the bastard he needs charging and prosecuting at a minimum.

 

[tardigrade]

There's been a massive demonstration overnight, outside Rochdale police station. This is where the men who were arrested have been taken.

They have now been released and have spoken about what happened.

GMP referred themselves to the IOPC after the incident.

For all the good that will do.

"Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said it understands the "immense feeling of concern and worry that people feel" after Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said it understands the "immense feeling of concern and worry that people feel" after the footage from Manchester Airport emerged."

I think 'concern and worry' are not the feelings of people right now!

The officer has now been suspended.

I'm very concerned and worried that a police officer thought it was entirely acceptable to kick someone in head and stamp on them AFTER they have been tasered and are down on the floor not moving. Their hands were clearly visible and they were not a threat at that point (if they even were prior to being tasered).

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I guess it's something it's national news. Assault police officers in US and other countries and they'd just shoot you

I meant that people are more angry and outraged right now.

Were the police assaulted? I didn't see that on the footage.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

3 of them. Female officer with a broken nose. It doesn't excuse it, but it makes it more understandable.

I struggle to see them as total victims here. Play stupid games and win stupid prizes.

It doesn't really answer your question but this is an account of how the incident started.

That sounds about right. The men who were attacked by the police were defending a family member, and the police didn't bother to find out what had happened before wading in.

I wouldn't necessarily take what the police say at face value.

 

[Elpenor]

There is blood visible coming from the female officers nose in the footage.

I wonder if the individual who'd used racist abuse hung around? They deserve to be up before the beak, imo.

This is another, not very clear, account.
