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.
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?
