'Police state' row as officers track down and threaten to arrest man who criticised his local Green councillor over outdoor drinking ban https://t.co/Alpvz6Yrnf
🚨BREAKING: James McMurdock MP has promised to challenge Birmingham Police over horrific arrest incident
"I can’t let this go unchallenged.
That young man was, in my opinion and based on the video below, the clear victim of an assault.
The video shows, for reasons that are entirely beyond my comprehension, the officer steaming directly into the victim.
The officer made no effort to prevent the attack or apprehend the men who had just administered the violence.
What I see in the video is the officer using speed and aggression at the moment of peak danger and confusion against the victim.
The victim then controls himself the moment he realises it is now a police officer attacking him and not one of the multiple men who were attacking him a fraction of a second earlier.
In my opinion Birmingham Police should drop the charges against this young man and ask the officer why she went for the victim on the ground and not the attackers!"
I genuinely can't believe Birmingham Police have posted this.
Instead of acknowledging the mistakes made, they appear to be doubling down.
They're even asking people not to share the footage, because, in my opinion, they are clearly in the wrong here.
This video has already circled the world multiple times.
People will keep sharing it because the video has raised major questions about whether the policing was fair and proportionate. The public have every right to scrutinise incidents like this.
🚨UK Police Threaten Arrest for “Future Crime” – Minority Report Comes to Britain
UK police officer threatens to arrest a man for peacefully filming in public, because his presence “might” wind people up and cause someone else to lose their temper.
This is straight-up Minority Report policing.
They’re not arresting him for any actual crime. They’re not even claiming he’s breaking the law. They’re saying: “We can arrest you to prevent a breach of the peace” meaning, we’re going to punish you in case some random person gets angry at your legal activity.
Think about that. If someone gets so wound up by a camera that they want to attack the person holding it, the rational response is to arrest the aggressor, not the person exercising their right to film in a public space.
How on earth can you justify detaining someone for something that hasn’t happened and might never happen? It flips justice on its head: the person minding their own business (and their rights) becomes the problem, while potential troublemakers get their feelings protected by the state.
Officers should be de-escalating and protecting lawful behaviour, not threatening people with arrest for hypothetical future crimes by others.
Absolutely disgraceful.
@KnockoutAudit He got charged for defending himself, from his point of view from an unknown assailant grabbing him after being pack attacked
you can be the vicitm of a hate crime, then being attacked by police, but if you're white and think about defending yourself you're going to jail
