'Suspicious Edit... We Don't See The Context' | Former Armed Policeman On Manchester Airport Kick

Former armed police officer Harry Tangye responds to the Manchester Airport police kicking incident.

"I'm highly suspicious that the edit is right at the beginning. We don't see the beginning. You don't see the context", he told Talk's Russell Quirk.

A police officer has been suspended after the video which appeared to show a man being kicked as he lay on the floor sparked a protest.

Crowds gathered outside Rochdale Police Station late on Wednesday night after footage shared on social media appeared to show a Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officer kick and stamp on the head of a man who was lying face down on the floor, with a woman kneeling beside him.

The video, said to have been filmed at Manchester Airport’s terminal two on Tuesday, also appeared to show the officer strike a second man.

Police said three of their officers had been assaulted, including a female Pc who suffered a broken nose, and four men were arrested.

Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham has called for “calm” following the incident and was due to meet Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to discuss the footage.
