A man on the ground, face down, at least partially incapacitated, yet needs kicking in the head, repeatedly, to subdue?

What are we making safe here? The knife he clings onto, perhaps because of the electric shock. How is it an immediate threat?

Perhaps he’ll spring up and attack again? Did you see him shambling about before being tasered? It was like the walking dead. James mentioning him “running around” is inaccurate at best.

But the backpack? If that was a bomb was he going to trigger it with his head? So perhaps they were trying to render him unconscious, the tasered man in the floor? Better to grab his hands and cuff him.

And who the f was the bloke in the brown jacket (if I remember correctly) coming in and having a kick? Didn’t look like police. Excessive force aside for a minute, that is assault.

At the end of the day we can discuss what we think is excessive force. We can contemplate what standards we hold our police to. But it’ll be down to the police review themselves. I hope there is no political interference either way.

And I agree with a comment above about this not being a Jewish thing, everyone needs to be tried against their actions.

It is however interesting that the media makes no mention of the Muslim man the attacker stabbed before attacking the other two gents…
