Police are strictly trained to adhere to the principles of proportionality, congruity, and opportunity and when they do not abide by those laws they should get held accountable. I don't know why you are making excuses for the police.

    I think you misunderstood me. I'm not making excuses for them; there are places where police will react differently to a disorder just because of the nature of said places. You don't fuck around in a nuclear plant, you don't fuck around in a train station, you don't fuck around in a hospital and you don't fuck around in an airport (to name a few). Because in places like those, police will prioritize the general safety before that of those fucking around. Sure, the police will then be investigated to see if excessive force was used, but in certain places, it's better safe than sorry.

    Even if the police is found guilty of excessive use of force, these idiots fucking around in an airport are still dumb as a sack of rocks.

    I'm sorry, but saying 'if the victim hadn't done this, the situation wouldn't have happened' is a justification.

    You don't need to wait for an investigation to believe what your own eyes saw. It is pretty clear that the police used disproportionate force, which is against the law. It also shows incompetence, because police are trained to handle all kinds of situations.

    I think the idiot is you not those activists. The police knew they was activists, they knew they has no wespons . The activist was not a security threat.

    An idiot made a number in a place where it's known that police overreact when idiots make a number.

    Did the police overreact? The images say they did (the investigation will clear that). Was the idiot an idiot? Well, the images say he was.

    I am done with you pathetic victim blaming idiot. The police used force not necessary for the siuation. How much you think the activist was idiotic do not change the fact that the police is the agressor. Pathetic police boot licker.
