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.

I just found out about Lemmy.
No need to be incredibly rude.
I don’t understand why anybody would protect a person behaving in a finally… suicidal fashion… And base it on the colour of their skin.
Do you think race effects people fundamentally, so that because she is black she deserves special treatment?
Did you watch the full video?

Again. So rude…
You replied to me, wasting me time bud.
Oh I’ll happily waste your time but it’ll be on my terms.
