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.
I wonder if some people carrying guns see every confrontation as a matter of life and death since they are carrying a deadly weapon that could be used against them if they temporarily lose control in a struggle.
When you have got a hammer everything looks like a nail.
I could be wrong but i believe british police dont routinely carry guns
