“I don’t understand what possible justification there could be put forward for stamping on somebody’s head when they’re on the floor.”

Political strategist Jo Tanner calls on Manchester mayor Andy Burnham to "drive the issue until the truth comes out" following the release of a viral video depicting a police officer in Manchester kicking the head of a man in Manchester Airport.

  • The more I listen to this video, the more one sided the debate seems, and these are supposed to be intelligent people.
  • Well, perhaps if they hadn't just assaulted three police officers, it might not have happened?
  • OK, sack, the police officer let him have his day in court and charge the men who assaulted police officers who were doing their duty and let them have their day in court
  • What about the soldier attacked and almost killed like the others we have lost
  • @ronniebiggs4026
    And yet no one ever pops up or mentions the grooming gangs do they Andy ? And what does the Rochdale mp have to say on this matter ?
  • @BumbleBee-et7be
    Andy Burnham must start from the simple fact Anyone in their right mind, and with nothing to hide would not resist being stopped and detained by Airport police. So the evidence is that these men either were not in their right mind or had things to hide. Simple really. Let's stop the workery. and appeasement
  • @redvanman1577
    There was an army officer stabbed yesterday. Why no outrage about that?
  • @starofdavid9919
    There has been a lot more coverage on this than the poor soldier who got stabbed.
  • Unless you’re in the situation you cannot comment. I’m not hearing anyone saying anything about the female cop who had her nose broken by the bloke who got a kicking.
  • @warrenking4586
    This causes more problems saying No Possible Justification. How do you know?
  • @MikeSmith-go8wk
    Justification is that 3 police officers are in hospital with injuries sustained from this attacker.
  • Did this guy not attack a female police officer ? Genuine question
  • @mfh848
    Lee Anderson called Burnham a buffoon, dead right, I'd say sloping shouldered buffoon.
  • @TEAMMAURICE
    We need to hear the police officers version of events before jumping to any conclusions
  • @loveUK36332
    We are fed up and frustrated of these violent people, the authorities are frustrated because the government is not doing anything.
  • @1574john
    3 modern day anti police liberals talking absolute nonsense as usual 😂

    Appease appease appease, that's all the Media and Politicians do...one rule for one and one rule for another
