Weeellll you have come on the thread and announced that I have not taken anything on board for the last decade and when questioned what exactly I should have taken on board, you proferred no response, I asked what your contribution to to thread is given you have taken issue with mine, the response has been.....well there has been none, I can only conclude you are a massive mysognist or that you have some personal issue with me, from my stance I don't have any issues with you, sometimes I agree with you, sometimes I don't, whatever your issues are with me they are for you to manage not me, so you either interact with me in a normal fashion or I will just ignore you...your choice :thumbs:

I have no issues with you but the threat of the ignore list sums up what I'm saying. DO whatever you feel.

Reports are that "lawyer" AKHMED YAKOOB has been sacked?

Second officer under criminal investigation after Manchester Airport incident…

A second officer is under criminal investigation for assault after an incident at Manchester Airport, the police watchdog has said.

Video which showed an officer kick and stamp on the head of Fahir Amaaz, 19, as he and his brother Muhammad Amaad, 25, were restrained by officers led to protests in Rochdale and Manchester city centre after it emerged last month.

More footage, obtained by the Manchester Evening News, emerged days later which showed the immediate lead-up to the disturbance on July 23, when two female police officers were hit to the ground before Mr Amaaz was tasered.

In a press conference earlier this week, the family’s lawyer claimed the men’s mother, Shameem Akhtar, 56, was hit in the face with a Taser by an officer.

In the days after the incident, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) announced a Greater Manchester Police (GMP) constable was under criminal investigation for assault in connection with the arrests of the brothers.

In an update on Thursday, the watchdog said a second officer had been advised they were also under criminal investigation for assault, relating to an incident shortly afterwards when two other men were arrested.

The officer is also being investigated for potential gross misconduct for alleged breaches of police professional standards including their use of force.

An IOPC spokesman said it had received a further referral from GMP of a complaint, detailing several allegations, from one of the people involved.

IOPC regional director Catherine Bates said: “It is clear the situation at Manchester Airport was complex and escalated rapidly.

“The incident, which resulted in injuries to police officers and members of the public, has caused understandable concern and we are working hard to piece together all of the relevant events on that day.

“In parallel, Greater Manchester Police is investigating whether any criminal offences were committed by members of the public during the initial altercation and the subsequent arrests.

“These investigations are separate, and we are liaising with the Crown Prosecution Service to establish how they can progress in parallel.”

The IOPC spokesman said its investigation will consider whether discriminatory behaviour may have influenced the treatment received.


It will look at the force used against six members of the public in two incidents, the first involving the arrests shown in footage and the second, shortly afterwards, when two other men were arrested and one was Pava sprayed.

It will also consider allegations about the level of care provided to a woman who reported she received an injury during the arrests and a young child present at the time; the language and level of force used by police towards two of the men who were arrested; and the men’s subsequent detention in custody.

Four men were arrested on suspicion of affray and assault following the incident and were later bailed.

A spokesman for GMP said the four remained on bail.

He said: “Our major incident team, led by an experienced senior investigating officer, is making good progress in investigating alleged criminal offences against both the public, and police officers, and we are committed to reaching a conclusion to the investigation as soon as possible in the interests of justice.

“This is a complex case so we ask for public support in bearing with us while we make sure that enquiries are completed thoroughly,

“We also remain fully committed to supporting the IOPC led investigation into our officers actions.”

The officers should be commended for foiling a plan to take weapons at an airport, not dragged over the coals for doing their job.

Yes especially given what they had to contend with on that awful day

I saw a photo of the Mum and she had a massive bruise under her eye apparently she had been tasered, hopefully accidentally

Bail!!

Bail for that, a man got 3 years for punching a copper..wtf.

Is it 2 tier policing ?

That's good, as he wasn't doing anyone good with his behaviour.

I don't know the full ins & outs ,but I gathered he just wanted to stir up and goad things . And just wanted his moment in the spotlight.

You've gathered correctly.

He was basically drawing everyone to himself, rather than the actual case.

These bastards caused riots with their victim playing farce, where’s their prison sentence?

Guaranteed they are going for a huge compensation payout

They haven't even been charged yet...

Yes
Police have Slowed down.


Labour MP's should demand a response

…an update on this incident…I know there has been criticism/comparisons made with the recent riots and sentencing speeds etc…but these things aren’t one size fits all and some are more layered and more evidence and circumstance has to be gathered etc to accurately asses whether actions were ‘in proportion’ or not…anyway, an update ….


Greater Manchester Police has submitted a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service in relation to 'a series of alleged criminal offences' at Manchester Airport.

The force launched an investigation after video footage emerged of violent scenes at the airport on July 23. The first clip, which went viral on social media, appeared to show a police officer kicking and stamping on the head of Fahir Amaaz, 19, while he was on the ground.

A second video, exclusively obtained by the Manchester Evening News, then showed the violent scenes which erupted in the moments before the incident - with Mr Amaaz and his brother, Muhammad Amaad, 25, appearing to throw punches at a male police officer. Two female officers were also hit to the ground before Mr Amaaz was tasered.

Two police officers remain under criminal investigation for assault in relation to the incident, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said. In an update issued this morning, GMP said the force has now submitted a 'comprehensive file of evidence' to the CPS 'for advice'.

The evidence forms parts of an 'investigation into a series of alleged criminal offences' which left three police officers injured, police said. Four men remain on police bail in relation to the incident.

In full, GMP's statement said: "We have submitted a comprehensive file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service for advice as part of an investigation into a series of alleged criminal offences which saw three police officers injured at Manchester Airport in July. GMP Major Incident Team investigators, led by a highly experienced Senior Investigating Officer, have been thoroughly investigating the incident.

"Four men remain on police bail. A separate and independent investigation into our officers’ actions, by the Independent Office for Police Conduct, remains ongoing."

Protests broke out in Manchester and Rochdale after the first video emerged last month. In a press conference earlier this month, the lawyer of the family involved in the incident claimed the men’s mother, Shameem Akhtar, 56, was hit in the face with a taser by an officer.
