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.

    bro takes an array of arrays of floats, collapses the floats into booleans, the arrays of booleans into a single boolean each and then collapses the array of booleans into a single boolean

    the amount of data lost in your thought process is crazy, this kinda shit is the real brainrot

    also isn’t “all [type of person] are x” what brought us racism lmao

      i know you tried to sound smart there but your first paragraph is nonsensical, jsyk

      “type of person” is too broad to make your question valid. depends on what “type” means.

      if by type you mean facial features and color of skin, eh sure, why not… even though it’s less that and more about justifying oppression for power and resources.

      but you used it in the context of acab, in which case type means what you do for a living which is entirely different from skin color… so no. you can make such judgments, and it wouldn’t be racism or even have remotely similar thought process (say, as you could point to sexism, homophobia, etc as at least having some parallels in the way of thinking).

      so yes, i can say all cops are bastards, all vulture capitalists are monsters, all landlords are leeches, all billionaires are immoral, all republican politicians are demons…

      Is being a cop an unchanging characteristic that you’re born with?

      Can someone choose to just change their ethnicity on a whim?

      Well, I’d say holding a specific occupation that has harmful effects on the people around you and choosing to maintain it makes you a bastard, since you can just stop being a cop, and therefore stop being a problem. People aren’t born being a cop. They choose to become one. And that choice makes them a damn rotten bastard.

      I don’t think any data was lost in girlfreddy’s thought process, I think you disagreed and tried to form a logical line of thought to disprove theirs while sounding smart, and ended up making some false equivalences and oversimplifications in the process

      In short, acab
