Having now seen the video, I didn’t realise the guy had already been tasered before the policeman kicked and stamped on his head at close range.

Unfortunately, it’s not really surprising.

Think the kick was more damaging than the stamp to be fair.

Only because he 'missed' the stamp. If he'd connected it could have killed him.

The bloke was no doubt a c**t, especially if he'd broken a woman's nose, but as a copper you can't be stamping on someone's head when they're prone on the floor having been tasered.

It's possible to think the bloke probably deserved it but also the copper went too far and should be sacked.

Again, it's hard to judge without seeing all of the video and context.

It could be he had been tasered and got up before to attack a copper so he didn't want to take the risk again.

It's impossible to say.

If he'd twatted him while he was apparently fighting the police and breaking the policewoman's nose, fair enough. To stamp on the head of someone who is subdued is cowardly.

I'm sure if a copper had done the same to Tommy Robinson people would have been creaming themselves.
Again there is a Uno reverse for everything

My first thought to the comments on twitter and here was that ppl don't care about the guy getting stamped cos he's Muslim. If white guy I imagine more anger at copper

Just shows everyone sees it differently and neither viewpoints are 100 percent true!

You'll be screaming the world's gone WOKE next !!!! Why the need to bring up a prick like Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon who loves stoking racial divisions for his sympathisers/morons. What the policeman did not seem like 'policing' to me and he lost control and used extremely excessive force but its very very difficult to judge from this video the full context. Scary that he had a gun in his hands that he lost his shit as police training on gun use and self control is incredibly thorough. Police record on violence and institutional racism means this will quite rightly be scrutinised and I suspect he will lose his job. That's unfortunate as we sadly need strong officer's to deal with airport security and the attitude of lads drinking heavily at airports before going on hols.

Oh not at all. I'd happily watch a copper do that to him and I'd say the same.

I brought it up because it's just how there's double standards and I think you proved my point.

Use of force must be reasonable, proportional and justifiable. That's what we were trained.

It's very difficult to judge based on a short clip but it's hard to see how the actions of the policeman fit any of these criteria given that the suspect appears to have been tased already and is immobile.

Now, if there's additional context we can't see, such as he has already got up after being based and he is saying he has a bomb, and his friends are beating another copper to death behind him, then maybe?

There clearly is some context missing from the clip, but I really doubt it's going to be enough to mitigate the actions seen here.

A more appropriate course of action would be to grab his hands and cuff them behind his back to neutralise any threat, not kick him senseless!

In Germany all the police around football fans were geared up, looked ready to go and didn’t look like the kind of people you’d want to antagonise.

Our approach to policing is a too soft and I believe that has played a part in rising public disorder and violence in the streets. There’s no deterrent.

The police are usually quite aggressive with football fans in this country and it causes as much harm as it solves

Well I'm sure he will be paid millions then , the fucking scrote

The minute his ears stopped ringing he'll have started planning it, it's clear that's what's going on.
Got a family member who's a copper apparently
Who won't go into work because he fears for his safety, imagine they'll be a claim going in there as well.

To be fair, a lad I knew, great lad, sadly no longer with us, had a full on fist fight with his brother in the queue for check in Tenerife so even the best of us can lose it and start scrapping in the airport!
