A sickening video has been released of a member of GMP kicking and stamping on the head of a male lay prone on the floor.

Who knows what led up to the attack last night, but police have today issued a statement today.

 It looks like they broke a female cops nose prior to the kicking.

It appears this was a good old fashioned brawl and the cops eventually won.

I'm no fan of police abuse, but when you start swinging.............🤷‍♂️

Apparently, there was risk and fear that the officers guns might be taken. There's also statements that the victims themselves are police officers....if so why were they kicking off and breaking other police officers noses? Kicking a person in the head when they're down is not acceptable, but people do things i anger and this officer clearly lost his rag. I'm of the mindset, don't hurt others and kick off if you don't want your arse kicked too.

 Three officers were attacked, a female police officer had her nose broken.

The video seems to have happened after that...the men on the ground, were not cops.

 That's the part that hasn't been publicised...if it had, it could put a whole new slant on the actual footage that's been recorded and posted on the internet.

As it is, all we see is a cop completely losing it, kicking a man in the head when he is lay prone on the floor, and then stamping on his head....pretty brutal by anyones standards.

 The problem with these stories are like many..

One side will portray the cops as angels, the other as demons.

Truth is often in the middle.

Kicking a man who is down, isn't always wrong. Sometimes you want to keep him down..

I've always bragged on UK cops because they handle violent people without shooting them. That doesn't mean they don't get violent. 

You want to brawl, the UK cops will bow up, beat your ass and haul you to jail..

They match physicality with equal physicality..

And you stay alive..

Meanwhile, in Illinois a woman who called the cops because she thought people were outside, got executed in her own kitchen.

I haven't seen anything this bad since Daniel Shaver..

This cop had worked for several departments, and "resigned from several, prior to this execution.

If this video doesn't infuriate you, you have no soul.

 He murdered her.

He told her to turn take the boiling water off the stove, then shot her when she did as she was told. 

Neither cop went to help her even though she was till alive after being shot.

---

 If you listen to the non shooter, he mentioned getting his first aid kit. 

The shooter said don't bother, those were head shots.

She was brain dead when she hit the floor..

 The audio was hard to hear.

I did hear the shooter saying something like "what else could we do, I didn't want to get hit with a pan of boiling water'....but she made no attempt to throw it, it was all in his head.

I hope he got life.

 He's been arrested. He will be found guilty of murder.

The problem is, he has bounced around police departments like a pedophile priest in the catholic church..

Instead of being removed from the possibility of being a cop, he was allowed to resign from multiple departments and keep his certification. 

It's a small consolation that he will serve time.

I want these predators banned from police forces everywhere, not shipped off to another town..

This family is suing the police department for hiring this lunatic. In that case, the taxpayers pay, not the actual department.

Yep, I agree the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

What happened before is crucial in deciding how this should be handled. The man on the floor could have had a weapon and be lay on it.
We have no idea whether he broke the female cops nose, or was he just someone at the airport with his Auntie, who got caught up in whatever was going down?

It's all speculation as to why the cop acted in such a brutal manner, which he definitely did.

 The real concerns here are where do you draw the line with enforcement?   The police get castigated for being too soft so when something like this happens it all explodes and they're demonised.   Take that copper that shot that man in the car who had a gun.   He got the sack.   Then his colleagues all walked out because why are they going to be given guns to enforce the law only to be sacked if they use them?  What are they to do?  Wait until someone or one of them dies before taking action?
