A police officer was seen stomping on a boy’s head while a taser already subdued him in a disturbing viral video from Manchester, UK. In the 40-second clip, the boy, lying on the ground, shows no resistance as the officer repeatedly attacks him.
Greater Manchester Police said their unit had responded to an “altercation” at Manchester Airport. They justified the violence by claiming “there was a clear risk during this assault of their firearms being taken away,” but did not address the excessive force used against the seemingly compliant suspect.
Amar Rafiq, the eyewitness who filmed the incident, told local press, “I was just gobsmacked. The police officer kicked the guy in the face. Everyone was worried about themselves; they started panicking and running away, fearing they would be attacked.”
