Manchester Airport: Andy Burnham must ensure ‘the truth comes out’ | Jo Tanner

“I don’t understand what possible justification there could be put forward for stamping on somebody’s head when they’re on the floor.”
Political strategist Jo Tanner calls on Manchester mayor Andy Burnham to "drive the issue until the truth comes out" following the release of a viral video depicting a police officer in Manchester kicking the head of a man in Manchester Airport.

Such a generic comment that doesn't say anything... There's no excuse for this behaviour from the police. It does not matter what happened 10 seconds ago or 10 minutes ago, in this moment in time the man is face down and surrendered on the floor. You can't bottle up what happened 10 seconds ago and use it to attack someone and call it self defence, that already has a name and it's called revenge. Revenge has no place in our society and especially not from a police officer, they have said he was in a flight or fight frame of mind, but this is not acceptable from the police. The average man in the street may have a right to say that but a police officer is specifically trained and employed to go into potentially dangerous situations and act calmly and professionally. I just want to put it out there that i am no bleeding heart liberal, and i absolutely despise Islam and the way Muslims act and what they think. I am the last person in the world to come to the aid of the man on the floor but in this instance the officers are wrong, they would do this to anyone if they know they can get away with it.

On 23/07/2024 at the Manchester airport. Police officer came to arrest the Asian man in blue. As they put the handcuffs on him they pushed him onto the machine and started beating him. The abused Asian man had a friend/brother who was sat on bench and tried to push the abusive officers off but then the officers pulled their taser guns out and the first Asian lad (in blue) also reacted in self defence against the abusive police. During the scuffle the elderly mother seen in the video got punched in the face which rightfully caused the 2 Asian men to become more aggressive in defence of their elderly mother. A snippet of how violent and unnecessarily aggressive the officers became is seen in the video including a full swing kick with steel toe caps into the face of the tasered man on the floor. After this one of the officers intentionally punched elderly woman square in the face. So the Asian man in red told them ''what are you doing, you are hitting an old woman'', whilst he went to pick up her slippers

"no possible justification" is an absolutely ridiculous position to hold. If your view is that there is literally no possible scenario in which the police are justified in kicking someone, then you're basically saying you do not believe the police should exist. Intellectually dishonest or morally repugnant. Probably both.

[@abdulwadood3123]

he has contextualized his interpretation, why extrapolate it to the extremes. Based on the contextual background and the situation in front of us, where the policeman has control over the suspect, clearly there is no justification for his actions.

[@welshmouse]

Hard disagree. Someone being momentarily on the floor but still actively resisting is not at all “under control”. I cannot fathom people like you who want to put the lives of police in jeopardy by preventing them from using force to subdue dangerous criminals. Absolutely baffling.

[@abdulwadood3123]

@@welshmouse the original argument that states 'there are possible scenarios in which police are justified kicking' falsely incorporates alot of scenarios like terror, kidnap etc. here the scenario is right in front of you, so my contention is that you can't argue by extrapolating this behavior to other scenarios. As per the "putting police in jeopardy" is concerned, i don't know what kicking in the head does to reduce that, if anything it makes it worse for both the officer and the suspect.

[@welshmouse]

Exactly the nonsense someone who has never experienced a life threatening situation would spout. Hitting a person, anywhere, makes them reactively try to defend themselves. It pulls their hands away from doing other, offensive things. It is literally something they used to train police officers to do, before everyone started caring more about protecting criminals than about law enforcement.

What justification is there for three Police Officers to be attacked and needing hospital treatment. Who is going to support the Police in this incident.

Imagine being this cop for a moment. It's bedlam. You've just been violently assaulted. You're surrounded by an apparently hostile mob. 'ThEy DiDn'T Do AnYThiNG'. At least 2-3 people are yelling and shouting at you, and they might attack you next. You don't know how many people attacked you, because they hit you from behind. It could be two... could be more. You don't know if this is a terror attack. You don't know if they're armed, or were just throwing punches. You don't know how your colleagues are doing... Are they injured? Do they still have possession of their weapons? Is anyone about to try and grab your weapon? Then, the guy on the floor starts to move after having being tasered. Is he going to get up and become violent again? Did the taser even work properly? (40% of the time, they fail). You don't know what's going on, or what's about to happen, or from what direction you might be attacked next... So, if this guy on the ground is starting to move, he's getting a kick! That way, I stay upright, maintain control of my weapon, and have a better chance against anyone else that might try and attack me.

May we, as Pakistanis, strive to remain in our own country and attain self-respect within our homeland. May Allah guide our leaders to prioritize the well-being of our nation. It is deeply distressing to witness the violence inflicted by law enforcement officers on two young individuals in front of their mother. If a country wishes to limit the entry of certain individuals or groups, their leaders should legislate accordingly to regulate foreign entry. Such actions by officers tarnish the reputation of their own nation.

While I understand the circumstances surrounding this incident are abhorrent, it certainly appears the Officer had a momentary lapse in self control likely fuelled by adrenaline given the severity of the circumstance and the immediately previous fate of his colleagues. However, unless a Training Manual somewhere specifies head kicks and head stamping as reasonable and justifiable force in particular circumstances, I think this officer is going to struggle to justify their actions in a Law Court. On face value it certainly appears to be a momentary loss of self control and if this is the case, their suitability as a Firearms Officer should definitely be reviewed and all permissions to work as such suspended while this is pending. Irrespective of the provocative circumstances, any strike to the head has a very high risk of long term consequences. I would be surprised if this is recommended under Police SOP's. With all that said, I absolutely support the notion that the Police need to have the freedom to be heavier handed than is often displayed in recent years. They need to be able to be a deterrent that commands respect from all and robust Training and character scrutiny available so they can be as effective as possible. It certainly seems like they are more often that not asked to deal with violent and intimidating circumstances and asked to operate "with their hands tied behind their backs". We need to re-find the moderate ground where enough force is within their operating remit be be a significant deterrent to the majority of circumstances.

SHOW THE FULL VIDEO NOT THE EDITED VERSION

[@bigbear8311]

should we maybe not start talking about the abuse and attacks the police suffer without any real consequences. How can we honestly talk so much about what happened in this one instance, whilst officers suffer attacks daily and we never discuss that. Surely this kind of agenda only fuels more bravado for criminals to attack police. We are too light on violence against police, any attack should be met with a jail term, not some pathetic fine which is not a punishment at all.

[@S.Trades]

@@bigbear8311 they may "suffer" attacks daily, but so do we, the public! And it's not usually the public, who provoke them.
