London Police Officer suspended for knee-on-neck arrest

BBC News - Met Police must apologise for 'knee-on-neck' arrest says lawyer https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-53457494

It looks like the UK Media has these sort of moments under control unlike the US where everything is blown out of proportion.

Many commenters are dismissive of the detainee for carrying a weapon but his Lawyers state it was a legal blade to repair a bike. What blade is this



The lack of build up in the footage already gives me doubt about how he ended up on the floor. Was he waving it? Was he reported to carry it?

The court proceedings are going to get dragged out and swept under the carpet, Met Police will just issue a general apology and not progress it further. I just hope there's no payoff to the defendant unless he was injured severely, it's a dangerous precedent to give out damage fees for stunts like this.

Jakes are bastards. All Cops are Batards, All pigs are Bastards.

@Mckenzie they stopped man on the middle of the road the other day, threw me in a TSG van took my 3.5, threw me out of the van like I was some animal abti. I feel like as the years went by they are able to see the difference between a black man and a somali man. Cah boyyyy the way they treat somalis.

For stepping on a neck? You guys are full of it at this point and I’m not talking about food.
