Greens respond to “disturbing” images of man being kicked by Police Firearms Officer

Following the release of images Manchester Airport that showed a Greater Manchester Police firearms officer striking a man twice as he lay on the ground, Green Party spokesperson on police and domestic safety, Amanda Onwuemene, said,

‘We’re horrified by the video of a man being kicked and stamped on the head whilst lying on the ground by a police officer at Manchester Airport.

“It’s deeply disturbing and there is no situation where it could be in any way justifiable.

“We’re pleased that an investigation is being held and the police must be fully transparent and accountable if they are to restore public confidence after what appears to be a clear abuse of power.’
