A viral video showing a Manchester Airport police officer allegedly kicking a man in the head has led to widespread protests, the suspension of the officer, and a criminal investigation. Mayor Andy Burnham has urged for calm, emphasizing the complexity of the situation. Newly released footage depicts a chaotic scene involving multiple altercations between officers and passengers. In central London, far-right activist Tommy Robinson led a protest, with counter-protests organized by groups like Stand Up To Racism, resulting in several arrests and minor injuries to emergency workers. Both events highlight rising tensions around police conduct and political activism in the UK.
