Man criticises someone for kicking a guy in the head while he's on the ground and restrained. People don't like this. What? Genuinely don't know what all the fuss is about but then I'm not following mainstream news much anymore so I must be missing something.
The guy had just stabbed two men with a knife. When the police used a tazer on him to get him on the ground and apparently kicked him, when he did not want to drop something, he was holding in his hand. They also had another guy controlled on the ground with a rucksack. So you know might have been a bomb or something. Also the guy who was kicked was not restrained at all. That was visible in the video and Polanski was just plain and simply wrong about that.
3 persons was stabbed but because the 3rd one is a Muslims, Islamophobic did not bother to mention that detail.
The video shows the man being kicked in the head after being restrained stop making apologia for the law enforcers. It reminds me of the German fascist police punching an unarmed women in the face and many people justified it by saying we don't know the context.
He is a murderer and criminal not a terrorist.
