But BBC News did NOT show that the Met officers kicked the mentally ill man in the head five times, when he was already immobilized and down on the ground after they had tasered him.

And of course BBC News did not ever mention that 2 hours before he stabbed two Jewish men, he had stabbed a Muslim man.

Defending police brutality is always a crappy thing to do.

Even though a active taser means his muscles lock, and he literally cannot release the knife, even if he wanted to, so their excuse is crap
