A police officer has been filmed kicking and stamping on the head of a man lying on the ground at Manchester Airport.
The uniformed male officer is seen holding a Taser over the man, who is lying face down, before striking him twice while other officers shout at onlookers to stay back in a video shared widely online.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said firearms officers had been attacked while attempting to arrest someone following a fight in the airport’s Terminal 2 on Tuesday. It said it had referred itself to the police watchdog.
Anger has grown over the video and a crowd of what appeared to be several hundred people protested outside the police station in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, on Wednesday evening.
Not what happened. Go watch the video.
I watched the entire thing. Did you not? Genuine question?
You said she threatened the cops, which never happened. She was shot after she let go of the pot, which the police had told her to take care of in the first place!
This asshole was looking for an excuse to murder someone, and you’re bending over backwards to give it to him. Shame on you, and I hope you run into a cop having a bad day.
