The disturbing video of a police officer brutally kicking and stomping on a Muslim boy’s head in Terminal 2 at Manchester Airport in England has caused shock and outrage. The 40-second clip, which has been widely shared on social media, shows the officer using a taser on the boy before kicking and stomping on his head while onlookers shout in the background.
The incident sparked a response from Greater Manchester Police, stating that the officers were responding to reports of an altercation and were subject to a violent assault. Four men have been arrested and an investigation into the officers’ behavior has been initiated by the police’s internal standards unit.
The incident has prompted calls for further investigations by GM mayor Andy Burnham and the Independent Office for Police Conduct, highlighting the need for accountability and action against any potential abuse of power by law enforcement officers. The video is a disturbing reminder of the ongoing issue of police brutality and raises important questions about the use of force and discrimination in law enforcement.
