Come on The Mill - you pride yourselves on open unbiased journalism. This is why I became a member.

However, you just can’t seem to do this over the GMP.incident at the Airport. It’s crystal clear who is responsible. Two males from a “Pakistani” background were involved in not one but two serious incidents and the Police were going to arrest both. Not only did they violently attack 3 police officers, two of them females (brave boys), but who in there right mind attacks “Armed” officers. One exceptional male officer had to fight simultaneously two males, who were battering him. He could have drawn his weapon and shot both of them. He indeed showed tremendous restraint and chose to ensure he disabled them . As brutal as you and other people who have never been in that position think what he did was absolutely correct .

There can be no doubt he feared for his and his two colleagues lives.

The implication of the beating they would have been given or the taking of their firearms gives me the shivers.

The Asians have shown no remorse.

Get off the fence and support your Police

I agree that the new footage shows that the police came under attack and responded. And of course it's an incredibly difficult job, especially in those sorts of circumstances.

That doesn't mean that their conduct is automatically blameless, though. The fact the officer has had a criminal investigation opened against him says there is a case to answer. Almost certainly cases will also be brought against those who began the violence. We still don't have all the facts - which is why an investigation needs to be carried out as quickly as possible.

The police are there to de-escalate situations and use appropriate force to prevent any (further) harm from coming to themselves or others. The officer tasered them, there is absolutely no justification for then kicking them in the head and stamping on them. It sounds like you are looking for Batman to run around beating the shit out of people
