So now unfortunately it will dominate how the police officer was in the wrong more than the actual criminal. Cops are trained to remain calm under pressure and they have a responsibility to the public and themselves...and yes they should use force but not go crazy. Having said that ... I'm not sure how I would react to a friend colleague getting their nose broken,but then I'm not a police officer so it's a different thing.

Usually if a criminal lashes out ...they should cuff them instantly,but it sounds like it got too heated and the criminal wouldn't have made it easy.

The thug won't get an sympathy from me.

The thug being the **** who assaulted the police and broke a young lady police officer's jaw. :mad:

The officer obviously did the kicking out of anger. He should have controlled his anger but I don't blame him.

Zizu in what world did I condone a cop getting her nose broken,but if anything ...that gives them an even better reason to arrest and charge him, sure use force ....but kicking someone in their head really?. Isn't assault on police already a hefty punishment of some kind anyway?. So they would have already been able to get their justice .

But having said that... we're not seeing the full video, and I wasn't there . Emotions & stress run high . There's no way I could be a cop.



If someone broke my nose , I'd be tempted to take it out on them.

Obviously, there is no context and we have no idea of what went on to escalate it to that but it seems like a complete loss of control from the officer.

That isn't what people are saying though, come on. Everyone knows that kicking a person in the head while they're down can kill, same with stamping on the back of someones head, so much so both these things are illegal moves in MMA and if you did this to someone in a street fight and the person died you'd be charged with manslaughter. So it's extremely bad when it's done by a person in authority. No one is saying they shouldn't have used force, but what the cop did literally could have killed this man who was already down

Back amongst us.

I saw a video of them in the early hours of this morning, claiming they're gonna be sueing the law.

Why post that here then? people posting on X or wherever you're talking about can't respond to you from here. You like combat sports so I'm sure you are well aware of the dangers of stamping on someones head or kicking a guy in the head who is already on the ground

I made it clear that I was referring to the general public …” the whole world and their aunties “ but why would I expect a response from anyone anyway ??


You also watch combat sports and know that the sharp kick and stamp wouldn’t even register in a UFC fight .. definitely not life threatening
