Do we know what caused the police attack at Manchester Airport?
Manage episode 431614792 series 2995995
Last week, a video emerged of a Greater Manchester Police officer forcefully kicking a prostate man in the head and kneeing him in the stomach at Manchester Airport. The story dominated national news coverage and triggered an investigation by the Independent Office of Police Conduct. But a lengthier video, released over the weekend, has fuelled further debate. It shows the run up to the confrontation, with a man attacking at least two police officers before he was tasered and restrained on the ground. Do we know the full story yet? And what does this story tell us about our instinct to create a simple narrative from chaotic events?
A warning: This episode contains descriptions of violence throughout.
Recommendations:
What we didn't learn from the Manchester Airport police attack, The Spectator
The missing detail: Meet Akhmed Yakoob’s ‘gang leader’ business partner, The Dispatch
Another video of the Manchester Airport police attack — but much remains unanswered, The Mill
