The clue is kind of in the Station's name on what they should be discussing.

They have news slots every 30 minutes

Disgusting behaviour.
Absolutely no excuse for that violence.
He needs sacking pronto.

Is it really inexcusable? It's certainly a bit of an overreaction, but when a man hospitalises three women and tries to take firearms from officers of the law, instinct can take over.

Indeed and I dont think this would be an issue if the guy was white, there wouldn't be any protests ....what are they protesting about? if the guy was randomly kicked in the head I could understand, but attacking police at an airport, he has been suspended so what exactly do they want now, let the investigation take place and then stage your protest if you are not happy with the outcome, anyway Burnham has said he has seen the full footage and its more complex than it appears so lets just wait and see

Yes, they have to act with such restraint so often when set upon by thugs (Leeds recently is just another example) that I’m not surprised when one or other of them lose their rag now and then. The furore over this shows how rarely it occurs, yet when it does all hell breaks loose.
Each and every one of the many adhering to higher standards at all times because they are police regardless of severe provocation/danger just isn’t possible with human beings. That provocation/danger should be taken into account.

We dont know what happened prior to the incident but there are levels of escalation. I hope the officers didnt bypass a few.

The offender didn’t take an oath to protect and serve, cops that use their power to assault unarmed, prone civilians should absolutely be held to a higher standard

I think you will find by the comments we all agree on that….but you can’t ignore what is apparent that inappropriate offences happened before that by the ‘victim’.

And sadly more & more police officers will continue to get spat on & attacked who are just doing their job.

The people that were arrested were all from Rochdale, so it doesn't take a wild guess know what their agenda was.

That doesn't excuse the use of excessive force, a law that every person in the uk is subject to no matter what job they are in

…bots, the voice of reason…to go down the same path of the violence that the law and society abhors was never the way…I think we all accept that a police officer ‘lost it’ and is equally as answerable as else who ‘lost it’, which will obviously be determined internally now…it’s an incident that may have impacted public confidence in the police force at a time when that confidence isn’t at its greatest time…

The fallout continues after the chaos caught on camera that saw violence, injuries and arrests stuns Manchester and sparks protests

What is clear about the incident at Manchester Airport that has led to large protests is it was a sprawling and noisy affair that shocked onlooking passengers and reduced parts of Terminal 2 to chaos.

Several videos have emerged showing the police as they deal with what they describe as an altercation between members of the public.

While much of what happened remains unclear, the problem appears to have started on a flight from Pakistan that landed in Manchester on Tuesday evening.

Words were spoken between a middle-aged woman of Asian descent and another passenger, the woman’s family told The Telegraph.

Once on the ground, it is believed that the woman was collecting her luggage in the arrivals hall when the same passenger, a man, began jostling her with his trolley and making racist remarks.

Shortly after, the woman met her two grown-up sons, Mohammed Fahir Amaz and Mohammed Amahd.

She pointed out the man to them, telling her sons what had occurred, at which point one of the men confronted him and an altercation ensued.

Police officers became aware of the altercation at or around 8.25 pm and began tracking the family through the airport using cameras.

As they were making their way into the car park and were near the ticket machines, it is claimed officers accosted the family.

From here, the situation appeared to deteriorate rapidly.

According to family sources, the mother was allegedly struck in the face by an officer, at which point a serious confrontation began.

So far, no video evidence has emerged publicly of this initial encounter with Greater Manchester Police (GMP).

This is the stage at which, according to the force, a female officer suffered a broken nose, one of three officers to have needed hospital treatment following the encounter, having been “punched to the ground”.

In its first public statement, GMP highlighted the added tension arising from the fact that the officers involved were carrying guns.

“As the attending officers were firearms officers, there was a clear risk during this assault of their firearms being taken from them,” a spokesman said.

A source reported the men as having said: “We were not there to attack anybody. It was just happening. Our mum was just hit in the face and we were being treated unfairly.”

Speaking on BBC Radio Manchester on Thursday morning, Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, said the full footage of the incident showed a “fast-moving and complicated” situation with “issues for both sides”.

It is then that video footage starts to emerge of what happened next.

The video which originally sparked the anti-police outrage and other footage portray a scene of utter carnage.

Interesting that there aren’t any bloodstained photos of the poor victim …

Edit - he wasn’t injured …

Pictures or no pictures ... being kicked in the head will cause damage.

I know , just in a funny mood

It seems that the police always get unfairly treated at times like this

Their staff wellbeing levels must be pitifully low when they just want to look after us all

…I honestly am feeling as though we don’t get ‘news’ anymore but more just fake news…I’m now reading…

The pictures of a woman with a badly injured nose are genuine, but are from a separate incident in 2020 when a female PC was punched in Leicestershire.

One tweet using a picture and falsely linking it to the Manchester airport incident has been viewed more than 600,000 times, alongside the caption: “It’s got to be worth a retweet for this poor policewoman who was attacked by six men in Manchester airport and broke her nose”.

I have no idea if there is truth in that either or no…but it often feels that were the actual victims…the victims of so much misinformation to create divides….

You mean to tell me no upstanding citizen filmed the attack on the police and stuck it online? I am shocked.
