Don’t rush to judgement on the Manchester Airport police video
Spectator (UK)JUL 21 2024
A UK officer was suspended on Thursday after footage appearing to show him kicking and stomping on a suspect's head at Manchester Airport was circulated online. Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said officers were attacked while trying to arrest someone over a fight at Terminal Two.
The police stated that as they were responding to a fight at 8:25 pm on Tuesday, three officers were attacked, punched to the ground, and a female officer suffered a broken nose.
Alongside the male officer holding a taser and kicking the motionless man, the video also seemingly shows another man on a bench being kicked by police as he holds his head.
