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.
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.

Removed, misinformation.
Reached up for the pot? So you acknowledge she wasn’t holding it then. It’s not like it was a gun, you’d have plenty of warning if she attempted to do something crazy with it (which is not at all clear from the video that she would have).
What do you get out of trolling like this?
I have no idea.
Check their post history, they’ve been arguing about this story in a “totally not racist, I’m very left leaning” kind of way for like 2 days now.
Did you seriously not watch the video? She takes her hands off when they raise guns… They take one step forward and she reaches up for it again
Mr “did you watch the video” here on repeat for two days lmao. What are you doing with your life?
Baffled that so many people think it’s appropriate to just make stuff up.
So I’m calling it out.
Like you making up the expression on a someone’s face that you clearly are unable to see?
