Video appearing to show a police officer kick a man at Manchester Airport has been shared online.

A police officer has been filmed kicking and stamping on the head of a man lying on the ground at Manchester Airport.

The uniformed male officer is seen holding a Taser over the man, who is lying face down, before striking him twice while other officers shout at onlookers to stay back in a video shared widely online.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said firearms officers had been attacked while attempting to arrest someone following a fight in the airport’s Terminal 2 on Tuesday. It said it had referred itself to the police watchdog.

Anger has grown over the video and a crowd of what appeared to be several hundred people protested outside the police station in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, on Wednesday evening.

    Well, I’ve never even been in Ireland, but my sister has given me some unwanted lectures about the connection between the two.

    I’d personally say that through the prism of Armenian issues, the latter was friends with ASALA, while “respectable” Irish politicians from time to time say savage cannibalistic shit on those and specifically on Artsakh.

    So of course the latter is better from my PoV and I don’t care about any other, just as everyone else (though pretending not to).
