Investigation launched after black man 'punched and kicked' by police in street

The Metropolitan Police are investigating footage showing a black man being ‘punched and kicked’ as eight officers try to pin him to the floor.

Moments later the same officer appears to punch him as he is held down on the pavement. The footage has since been shared on social media using the #BLM Black Lives Matter hashtag.Ever since the killing of unarmed George Floyd at the hands of white police officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis, USA, anti-racism protests have been sparked across the world.

‘The guy looked terrified and the way the police kick and hit him, I’m not surprised. Please look into this #BlackLivesMatter.’ ‘During this the man resisted and became aggressive. A number of officers restrained the man and he was placed in handcuffs as they believed he had a weapon on him.

Fcuk off metro he was resisting why is it important to say he’s black ? Can we now expect more peaceful violent protests now ?

BlackLivesMatter When is this going to be over it seems to getting worse 😢😢

Don’t resist arrest then! 🤦🏼‍♂️

and who do you support , as the lockdown opens , more knife crime will happen , people sticking thier head in the sand and accusing police of racism here . my answer is for police not to investigate and leave them to it

Nothing to do with race, he shouldn’t have run away.
