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.
How can we fight back against the police, when they never face consequences, but we do?

They just have to not reach for pots of boiling water after threatening to use it as a weapon.
That’s eems reasonable…
When she grabs the pot of boiling water, one deputy steps back “away from your hot steaming water,” he says.
“I rebuke you in the name of Jesus,” she says in response.
“Huh?” the deputy says.
“I rebuke you in the name of Jesus,” she repeats.
“You better fking not or I swear to God I’ll fking shoot you in the f**king face,” Grayson says to her.
Does it? Is a rebuking a threat with a weapon? Why doesn’t the militaries just have shoot if you’re scared rules but USA police do?
I don’t know if your last sentence was put together enough to be understandable.
Again, I think if a person was 5/6 feet away from a military man with loaded gun, and they threatened the military man, and he raised his weapon and threatened to shoot them if they attempt to throw the boiling water in them… Yeah, I think they would have equally protected themselves.
Rebuking is not a threat. You and the cop do not know what rebuke means.
He overreacted to a word which means “I’m disapproving strongly.”
I was more referring to the ignoring the cops requests as she walked over and picked up a pot of boiling water . . But most importantly, the part where she reaches up for the pot, after being warned at gunpoint that the cops feel unsafe.
She reached up for the pot…
I don’t think her race is responsible for her reaching up for that pot. But that might just be me.
The cop literally noticed the pot and told her to go move it because he didn’t want to deal with a fire when he was there.
She didn’t go to it until she was told to go move it off the flame.
Not what happened. Go watch the video.
Who is responsible for the complete mismatch between your description and the events if the video?
Why is any cop playing judge, jury, an executioner?
Even if she was to throw boiling water his way, which she was clearly trying to protect her head when the gun came up, it doesn’t warrent deadly force. Yes the cop would be in pain and scarred, but that’s the threat he signed up for being an officer.
Anytime the police kill someone it’s a gross overstep of power regardless of race, age, mental capacity, drug use, financial situation, or any other box you want to put a victim in. You can make a case for if there’s actual shots fired at the officers, but still a cops job is to bring people in so that can properly pay for their crimes.
So, again, even if she was about to throw that water 6+ feet over a counter to hurt him, that officer grossly misjudged the situation and made himself look like the biggest coward by not only drawing his gun but firing.
As always, ACAB.
bro takes an array of arrays of floats, collapses the floats into booleans, the arrays of booleans into a single boolean each and then collapses the array of booleans into a single boolean
the amount of data lost in your thought process is crazy, this kinda shit is the real brainrot
also isn’t “all [type of person] are x” what brought us racism lmao
i know you tried to sound smart there but your first paragraph is nonsensical, jsyk
“type of person” is too broad to make your question valid. depends on what “type” means.
if by type you mean facial features and color of skin, eh sure, why not… even though it’s less that and more about justifying oppression for power and resources.
but you used it in the context of acab, in which case type means what you do for a living which is entirely different from skin color… so no. you can make such judgments, and it wouldn’t be racism or even have remotely similar thought process (say, as you could point to sexism, homophobia, etc as at least having some parallels in the way of thinking).
so yes, i can say all cops are bastards, all vulture capitalists are monsters, all landlords are leeches, all billionaires are immoral, all republican politicians are demons…
I’d like to know more context about this whole situation, apparently there was a big kerfuffle and another police officer had to be treated for a broken nose.
This guy looks like some dumbass kid who got himself over-excited after being given a gun and a badge though. He’s probably set his career back by 10 years after this dumbass move.
That shouldn’t be a setback of ten years, it should be an automatic attempted manslaughter charge and exclusion from any job that gives immediate power over strangers.
