Mental that anyone can defend the actions of the copper there, no matter what came before it.

I’ll be very interested to learn from this inquiry what occurred in the minutes previous to the clip I’ve seen that justifies a police officer kicking a prone person in the face and stomping his head into a concrete floor.

The rumour is that the female officer who had her nose broken, is his girlfriend. Could just be rumours though.

Seems they (the police) came across a very unsavoury group who clearly had few morals if they are willing to break a woman’s nose and quite frightening if the reports that they tried to grab a gun are true. However despite all of that that policeman has pretty much confirmed he’s not of the right temperament to be armed.

It's possible to be appalled at violence towards police officers and by police officers. But not if you wish to exploit this incident for further division. Tice. Anderson. Reform. It's what they do.

Although Andy Burnham is right to say that the video is only part of what went on, his is wrong to not stress that he unreservedly condemns the officer's action, which has no place, regardless of provocation. The police are supposed to uphold the law, not be above it.

However despite all of that that policeman has pretty much confirmed he’s not of the right temperament to be armed. The only conclusion is that the policeman was clearly being over the top with his actions. Only time and good quality video evidence will highlight what led to the escalation of violence. They were clearly not there minding their own business that’s for sure, if it kicks off with three armed policemen and a policewoman subsequently having her nose broken. If they were guilty of assaulting the police they should be locked up irrespective of the potential riots.

The airport probably has more CCTV than anywhere else, so surely the whole situation will be unveiled in time... and no doubt that at least one person will be spending some time behind bars.

I do wonder how many of those commenting have actually spent much time talking to trans people. A hugely marginalised part of society who are frequently told they're wrong or they don't exist or they're somehow some evil sex pest...and you wonder why suicide and severe mental health issues are so much more prevelent than in the rest of society. These are people who have grown up not understanding who they are, often hating themselves and fear that if they come out they will be rejected by friends, family and wider society. Transitioning takes years and is not easy very few are able to go through with it due to the cost and multiple operations involved. Do you really think that someone would go through that because it might be slightly easier to win a shiny medal! I had a friend who I met after she had transitioned. Had no idea until a mutual friend told me as a way of highlighting just how much more she fit her “new” identity. She was a ray of sunshine in every room I ever saw her in. She still ended up taking her own life because of the abuse she endured. Friend that is really incredibily sad.

I know it's not political, but it made me chuckle and thought I'd lighten the mood a little...... Could you explain please?

I'll be honest and say I don't understand a lot of it. To be frank I've just had to look up CIS. One thing I would say though is I'm not sure it's that men should dictate what should or shouldn't happen in women's changing rooms or sports, so I'll keep my beak out. Some of my best days were when I worked up on the 13th floor at CIS. Great place to be (back then, anyway…) Table tennis ?

Exceptionally - there is a very bad trait of bullying in our species that we share with chimpanzees. Bonding seems to take place for some by piling in on the vulnerable. Life is much better when the nasties are kept from hurting others.

There are people of all political/social backgrounds who will try to make capital out of these incidents. Thankfully most people will calmly wait and see.
