BBC News criticise Zack Polanski for expecting better standards from the police when apprehending the man who stabbed two British Jews and one British Muslim But BBC News did NOT show that the officers kicked him in the head five times, when he was immobilised and down on the ground after being tasered And of course BBC News did not mention that 2 hours before he stabbed two Jewish men, he stabbed a Muslim man Neither did Keir Starmer, not once across the two days of constant press conferences, and not even during his statement from Downing street Why is Labour Keir's Starmer and so much of the media whitewashing the stabbing of a British Muslim?

🚨This is what ICE calls an “arrest”… In McKinney, Texas, five ICE agents are piled on top of one man, face down on the ground. He’s not visibly fighting back. And yet, one agent has him in a chokehold… while four others are kneeling on his body, pinning him down. Then, out of nowhere, the agent tightens the chokehold… and hits him in the face. While he’s already restrained… While four grown agents are already on top of him. That is excessive force. A chokehold on a restrained person… that alone is dangerous. People die like that. Having multiple officers on top of someone’s back, while they’re face down… that’s how you cut off someone’s ability to breathe. And then hitting him while he’s pinned down? That’s punishment. That’s abuse of force. There is a line… even during an arrest. And piling onto a man who isn’t resisting, restricting his breathing, and striking him in the face while he’s restrained… crosses it. Badly. Because if five agents can’t restrain one man without choking him and hitting him… then this was never about safety. It was about control. And people should be outraged.
