A disturbing video circulating on social media has sparked public outrage and an impending investigation by Greater Manchester Police. The footage, captured at Manchester Airport, appears to show two officers kicking two detained individuals, one of them a young boy, after he had been subdued with a taser.
The video, which has garnered significant attention online, shows the young boy lying on the ground, appearing to be compliant, while an officer places his knee on his back. Moments later, the footage reveals the officers kicking the boy in the face and head. Bystanders can be heard shouting in the background, adding to the chaotic scene captured in the video.
The caption accompanying the video expressed disbelief at the officers’ actions: “Can’t see how you can justify kicking someone in the face and head when they are laying on floor being tasered and he seemed compliant. Some context is required as to what was going on here.”
Greater Manchester Police have acknowledged the incident and announced that a formal statement will be released shortly. The identities of the officers and the details leading up to the incident remain undisclosed, but the video has already raised serious questions about the use of force and the conduct of law enforcement personnel in handling detainees.
The incident has prompted calls for a thorough investigation and accountability, with social media users and community leaders demanding answers and appropriate action against any wrongdoing. The police force’s response to this incident will be crucial in addressing public concern over police conduct and ensuring such incidents are thoroughly examined and dealt with accordingly.
