It was clear the kick was an act of rage. We understand he is also a human being. But that is why the police personnel are trained. He should have controlled his emotions and acted to ensure the arrest was made correctly with least threat.

Nobody is suggesting anyone is real
Man , only you with cops kicking someone in the back of the head. Cop woman wasn’t on the ground , she was standing & with the uniform does everything what a man does . Also it’s not clear how it happened.
My advice to you , never get into a street fight

I have watched the footage again because I was trying to understand the context. The guy who is kicked in the face is attempting to use the airport parking machine when he is accosted by three policemen who roughly try to arrest him. He then lashes out and appears to knock down all three police officers with a series of retaliatory blows, including one which struck the policewoman trying to force him to submit.
The guy was an idiot, whatever the provocation he claimed was prior about his mother being assaulted or abused, once the police lay hands on you, you cannot resist arrest. He will be rightly charged, and the policeman should lose his job, he clearly does not have either the physical capability to restrain someone physically, or the mental capacity to understand his responsibility.

This is another case of woke Britain gone mad. Women should never be put in a position where they are trying to physically restrain a dangerous man with martial skills. This is where female emancipation has got us, but the west can perhaps relearn some things from the east when it comes to recognising a woman's physical limitations.

Good point.
A woman is likely to lose a fight against a man 9 out of 10 times.
Female cops should only try to restrain females regardless of what feminists may say.
As expected some posters are saying Female cops should not arrest male suspects.
Comply with the law and if you have any grievances, cry about it in the court of law. Do not resist arrest and if you raise your hand on a police officer(irrespective of gender), you deserve to be punished.
I praise the officers for not shooting the suspect and only a kick was given on his face.

Honestly, the 2 boys got off lightly imo. Of all the places, the last place where you want to have a brawl with police officers is at the freaking airport.
If I was in their situation, I would’ve complied, I wouldn’t even think about assaulting the police even if they were being physically aggressive.

For sure. The 2 lads definitely messed it up. They should be charged maybe.
Anyway, it doesn't change the fact the police officer made an error by kicking a handcuffed man on the head. He should be penalized also.

yeah, that was out of order, don’t think he was handcuffed, they tasered him and he fell to the ground, that should’ve been enough for them to arrest him.

Eight officers suspended from Greater Manchester Police over racial discrimination accusation
Greater Manchester Police has suspended eight officers and placed another on restricted duties after a report was made of alleged racial discrimination.
Seven of the suspended officers are from the Bury district, and one is from Rochdale who was working in Bury at the time of the accusations, the force has said.
The move follows the suspension of five officers and the placing of two others on restricted duties, all from the Bury district, on 17 July, GMP added.
The force referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) in relation to both cases.
The IOPC is investigating the first report but has reviewed and referred the second incident back to GMP to investigate.
Detective Chief Superintendent Mike Allen, the head of GMP's professional standards directorate, said: "The reports we have received are deeply concerning and I hope to reassure the community of Bury, the wider public, and the GMP workforce that a full and thorough investigation is being conducted into these matters."
The suspensions come as a GMP constable is under criminal investigation after a video shared widely on social media showed an officer kicking a man in the head at Manchester Airport.
There is no suggestion the suspensions announced today are linked to that incident.
Protests took place in Rochdale and the centre of Manchester after the video emerged, as the city's mayor Andy Burnham urged people to "take a step back" and allow the authorities to carry out their investigations.

What a bizarre counter argument. Basically what you are saying is that policewomen wouldn't get hurt if the offenders complied with the law. If people complied with the law why would you need police officers in the first place?
For someone who complains daily about how political correctness has ruined western countries (despite moving to one yourself) you are still wanting to send women out to apprehend dangerous males who are battering multiple male police officers single handedly?

He was already tasered and on the ground, no point in kicking him. Police are trained to refrain from engaging in needless retaliation.

Teenager’s lawyer steps aside after Manchester airport ‘assassination’ remarks
Solicitor for young man kicked by officer claims media have focused on him instead of police misconductThe lawyer for the family at the centre of the Manchester airport brawl has said he is stepping aside as investigations into the incident gather pace.
Akhmed Yakoob became the focus of criticism after claiming 19-year-old Muhammed Fahir was the victim of an “attempted assassination” that had left him “fighting for his life”.
In footage that emerged at the weekend, Fahir could be seen throwing punches at police officers before being incapacitated with a Taser. An armed officer was then filmed kicking the teenager in the face and stamping on his head.
The officer has been suspended and is facing criminal charges of assault as part of an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). He is expected to be interviewed under caution in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Greater Manchester police (GMP) have stepped up their investigation into Fahir and three others who were arrested at the scene for affray and assault on emergency service workers.
Yakoob, a director at the Birmingham-based firm Maurice Andrews Solicitors, said the media had tried to “sabotage” him since he started representing Fahir’s family last week.
Addressing the camera from the back of a car on Sunday night, he said: “You may have seen the various media reports about me in the last couple of days.
“The media have tried to sabotage me. It’s not the first time they’ve done this though, but they’ve made this whole situation about me rather than police brutality and police misconduct, which is unfair on Greater Manchester police and the family.
“So after consulting with the family I have decided for now to step aside and I have recommended the family to a lawyer. But I will be keeping a close eye on this.”
He added: “I’d like to say that I am not for violence, whether it’s from police officers, whether it’s from civilians. Always remember that.”
The 36-year-old, who has 200,000 followers on TikTok and has been posting frequent updates about Fahir’s case, came under investigation by the Solicitors Regulation Authority this year after he used social media to promote a false claim of racism against a young teacher.

Yes.
It is like a football player kicking a player after fouling him. Could be a straight red card in football. It should also be a straight red card (getting fired) for the officer.

I don't think anyone will deny the two things
- What the accused guy/guys did all through the incident was very wrong
- What the cup did at the end was wrong
The only discussions remains of punishment
- The accused need to get a jail term. There can be some mitigation (not a lot) if it can be proven that there was some provocation - say racist language from the cops or insults. In the end, you have to obey the cops even if they're being insulting, rude or racist. Any discussions need to be post facto
- The cop's penalty is more difficult. I would advocate for a harsh punishment like firing or even arrest if it was a question of cold blooded attack like the original video seemed to show. Given the mitigation of heat of the moment - they'd just been beaten black and blue and had only only been able to get the guys under control, I'm inclined to push for a lower punishment - a brief suspension or even just a warning with mandated psychiatric counseling sessions.

The family and lawyer of a man who appeared to be kicked and stamped on by a police officer after he and his brother got in an altercation with officers at Manchester Airport have claimed there has been a deliberate campaign to smear their family
Brothers Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad appeared alongside their lawyer and mother at a press conference this morning. They say they have been left devastated and traumatised by the events at Manchester Airport and members of their family are serving police officers with Greater Manchester Police.
Footage went viral from inside Terminal 2 showing one of the men kicked in the head, before a second leaked clip emerged, which shed more light on the moments before, showing the man throwing punches at a male officer near a ticket machine inside one of the airport's car parks. GMP confirmed that three officers sustained head injuries and a broken nose in the fight, saying the violence in the viral video had been "the last of three altercations" in just over one hour.
Families targeted by UK riot cowards say: 'We are scared to leave our home'
In the press conference, the family's lawyer explained what took place on the plane before it landed at Manchester. The lawyer has claimed the mother was racially abused onboard a Qatar Airways plane and she was called a "P**i". She was feeling extremely unwell and tried to move away from the man who she said was intimidating her. When she left the aircraft, she was upset and collected the wrong luggage at the carousel, only realising when she got home.
The press conference was told, the distressed mother met her sons, who had come to pick her up along with her six-year-old grandson, and explained what had happened on board. They say her sons had spotted the man she said had racially abused her. They spoke to the man before leaving towards the car park where the altercation with police began.
Chaotic scene before man 'kicked' in head by police officer
The family say they were shocked by the level of violence by the police. The family's lawyer says the mum was shouting in Urdu: "They have killed my son", after she saw her son Tasered. He says that both brothers were compliant before the officer stamped on his head and the mother believed her son was dying as he was "limp". They claim the mother was struck by the officer with the Taser gun.
A photo showing bruising on the 56-year-old mother's face was shown to the press conference. Reporters were told, she feared she was about to receive the same treatment that her son's had been subjected to, the lawyer said. The family say Fahir Amaaz was called a "dirty f**king c**t" by a police officer who did not have his bodycam on.
Scottish human rights lawyer Aamer Anwar, representing the family, saying today they are providing context to what took place at Manchester Airport. He previously said they had already spoken with the police watchdog IOPC, with a view to calling for an investigation into the officers involved. Meanwhile, the police constable in the video has been told he was under criminal investigation for assault, the IOPC has confirmed.
Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has advised the public to allow the investigation to take its course after he was shown the full video. The family have now demanded to know "on what legal basis" the video should be shown to a politician before they were given an opportunity to see it. Mr Anwar said that, while any of the family found to be engaged in criminality should be "subjected to due process", there should "never be any legal justification" for the use of "excessive, disproportionate and potentially lethal force against a civilian who is incapacitated and poses no threat".

Manchester Airport: Lawyer requests all footage be retained after man was kicked and stamped on by police officer
In extensive detail, solicitor Aamer Anwar provided the family's version of events, including what allegedly happened to spark the incident at Manchester Airport last month.
All footage from the incident at Manchester Airport where a police officer kicked and stamped on a man's head should be retained, a lawyer representing the family has said.
Solicitor Aamer Anwar alleged during a news conference on Tuesday that an "incomplete series of events" had been portrayed two weeks since the incident at Terminal 2 on 23 July.
Speaking alongside Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, his brother Muhammad Amaad and their mother Shameem Akhtar, Mr Anwar said the family had been subject to "horrific racist and Islamophobic abuse on social media" in the aftermath of the altercation.
In extensive detail, Mr Anwar provided the family's version of events, including what allegedly happened to spark the incident during a Qatar Airways flight which Ms Akhtar was on.
Video footage released from the incident showed 19-year-old Mr Amaaz being struck while lying face down on the floor. His brother Muhammad Amaad, 25, was also arrested during the incident.

Two men charged with assaulting police officers after Manchester Airport brawl
Two men have been charged with assaulting police officers following a brawl at Manchester Airport in July.
Mohammed Amaaz, 20, faces two charges of causing actual bodily harm, one charge of assaulting an emergency worker and one charge of common assault. Muhammed Amaad, 25, is charged with causing actual bodily harm.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said no police officers will be charged.
The charges relate to an altercation at Manchester Airport on July 23, which resulted in four men being arrested and a police officer being suspended and placed under criminal investigation.
Videos of the brawl were subsequently circulated widely online, stoking community tensions in Rochdale where the two defendants are from.
Announcing the decision, Frank Ferguson, the head of the CPS Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division, said: “Following our review of an incident at Manchester Airport in July 2024, the Crown Prosecution Service has today issued charges against two individuals.
“Based on a careful consideration of this evidence, we have concluded that two men should be charged with offences including assaults on police officers.
“We have concluded no charges should be brought against any officers. We examined potential offences of actual bodily harm, and common assault, and reviewed expert evidence in the form of an independent report from an expert in the use of police force, to inform this decision.
He added: “We acknowledge that in this case as in any other, the strength of feeling has been high.”
The armed officer involved in the violent arrest remains under investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) but has had his suspension lifted.
Stephen Watson, the chief constable of Greater Manchester Police said: “I welcome today’s decisions from the Crown Prosecution Service to charge two men with assaults on our officers and a member of the public at Manchester Airport earlier this year.
“I also welcome their decision to take no further criminal action against serving officers. I appreciate that a full and thorough independent investigation has led to this outcome.
“Following this decision, I have lifted the suspension of the officer involved. The IOPC’s misconduct investigation continues and we will continue to cooperate fully in this regard.
“Whilst cooperating fully with the IOPC in the discharge of their independent investigation into the conduct of our officers, GMP has offered support to our officers and will continue to do so in the coming months.
“I know that these matters have understandably generated a great deal of debate, scrutiny and speculation. We now have specific charging decisions and the court proceedings must be allowed to progress without the prejudice or taint that can emerge as a result of misplaced commentary, speculation or the sharing of digital content.”
Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, and Richard Tice, the deputy leader, said: “Today’s charges against two men for assaulting police officers at Manchester Airport have been long overdue.”
They said they expect a parallel investigation by the IOPC to “exonerate” the police officers.
“Nothing less will be acceptable.”
