He was tasered while crossing a road and ended up lying on his front.

Oh, I understand now
Did he say "I was just going about my business, crossing the road, minding the traffic, carrying a knife for self-defence, Officer".

They can't have heard him.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

I have not denied he resisted arrest - that is precisely why he was tasered. Got that? Once he was on the ground, he was lying on top of the knife. He was tasered. His muscles wouldn't work. He couldn't hand the knife over.

His muscles wouldn't work. He couldn't hand the knife over
really, you're certain about that? That's so strange because in that case you'd think his hand wouldn't be holding the knife and the police officer on the ground with him would have more easily disarmed and handcuffed him. But, as with your superior knowledge of exactly how explosives behave I'll reluctantly bow to your superior knowledge of the full effects of a taser. Have you ever thought of joining the police so they could benefit from your wisdom?

I'm sure the police's knowledge is far superior to mine, which is why they are in the best position to be honest and give a full explanation.

It is very hard to see from the BBC video but I think it is the man I am describing who is wearing a kippah. But I can't swear on it. He was very brave as well whoever he may be.

Have you actually seen the video of the kicking? It's not on the BBC video nor the official body cam footage from the Met. The man with the dark hair was the one definitely wearing a kippah. There's also a photo of the one who did the kicking on an interview he did. He's named and it's mentioned that he is a Shomrim volunteer. Other video shows that the attacker was already tasered when he was on the ground and approached by the Shomrim volunteers. The BBC footage is unclear about who actually handcuffed him.

I don't but you know that.

Ignore, it's goading.

No, it's not. It's trying to get to the truth based on evidence.

And we wonder why recruitment and retention of police officers is difficult. They run to danger to serve and protect, while the rest of us are running away
Those two young officers were brave. Criticism of them from the safety of a keyboard is imo nauseating

Which two young officers? I'm almost sure the ones you mean aren't Met officers. There's nothing brave about kicking somebody in the head at least five times when that person is lying on the ground having been tasered and incapacitated.

Have you ever been in a life threatening situation twaddle? I have been out with armed police on a specific piece of work. I’ve worked closely with them in some very frightening situations. I’ve nothing but gratitude for their calm involvement and capacity for de/escalating explosive situations
I’m out of this -

I have seen the kicking. I haven't seen whatever Tommy Robinson has released. Do you mean one of the men with tasers or the man in greenish shorts who falls over. They all look like they have dark hair to me.
If you think it was a volunteer is that not reassuring for you as it means at least one police didn't kick him.
Those who tackled the London bridge attacker used a long pole, a narwhal tusk!, and a fire extinguisher. And one of those men was a convicted murderer.

On Gransnet.
Well perhaps wait for an inquiry?

In the meantime, people were stabbed by this man.
That is what should be foremodt in our minds and concerning us.

Or is that irrelevant?
