Ultra low cost airline Spirit cancels all flights as Government bail out talks collapse The US airline which was blocked from merging with rival Jet Blue in 2024, employs 17000 people #Spirit #SpiritAirlines

@brookebay21 Did anyone know he was mentally ill at the time? What those Police officers did know, was an armed man was actively trying to kill civilians.

Does anyone feel kicking a lifeless mentally ill man in the head think is proportionate

@tozdee57 Multiple factors can impact the effectiveness of taser, clothing for instance There is also footage of people being shot & still being able to continue their actions.

So, as I understand it, when #EssaSuleiman was tasered by the #MetropolitanPolice he was NOT incapacitated, at least according to #MarkRowley! If so, what's the point of a taser if it has to be followed up by repeated kicks to the head by several police officers?

@SJG99 Yes, it does look brutal & yes, it will be investigated Had they been armed we could be watching a clip of a man being riddled with bullets. That, in comparison, would be brutal The officers saved lives, their own included.

Zack was right to question the police action, but he should have done it in his own name and maybe not on social media. The video doesn't look like police using good training. It looks like police panicking and being brutal. Hopefully there'll be an investigation. #bbcpm

@Heccles94 He is defending his officers against the public criticism of people who have no idea what it is like to be faced with the situation those officers found themselves in He has displayed strong leadership

It is absolutely correct and proper for politicians to scrutinise the actions of the police force. It is completely unacceptable for the police force to comment on and get involved in politics. Mark Rowley should resign.

@ZoeJardiniere We understand the top Police officer in England has already explained.

You cannot tell me you watch this video and think the police behaviour needs no explanation.

Calls for MET officers to be armed with less lethal firearms After many disturbed by footage of brave men stopping potential mass murder #Police #MET #GoldersGreen

@implausibleblog "All of us are disgusted at the attack by the criminal" FULL STOP And now the weather

Left: Fiona Bruce asks the Green's Rachel Millward about the head of the Met police criticising Zack Polanski for criticising the way the police apprehended the criminal in Golders Green #BBCQT Right: Criminal on the ground, tasered, and both policemen are kicking him in the head All of us are disgusted at the attack by the criminal, but is this really what we expect of our police, kicking a tasered man on the ground in the head repeatedly?

@jhe30046 @nickimoraa The man wanted to switch seats from the back half of the plane, so behind the author. He takes his assigned seat, later stands up & looks forward (from the back end towards the front). How does he make eye contact with the author, he would be looking at the back of his head?

@NEWS23Five @nickimoraa Yes he was behind the guy whose seat he wanted but that means the guy whose sit he wanted was in front of him. Think about it.

I was on a late evening flight, already exhausted, window seat, headphones in, mentally unavailable for any form of human interaction. A guy shows up to my row, looks at me, then at his ticket, then back at me like I’m the plot twist. “Hey… would you mind switching? My seat’s just a few rows back.” I already knew “just a few rows back” was code for worse in every possible way. I ask, “Window?” He hesitates. That hesitation told me everything. “…middle.” Oh. I smiled the kind of smile that already says no. “I think I’ll stay here.” He nods, but then hits me with, “It’s just that I don’t really like flying, and I was hoping to sit closer to the front.” Sir. None of us like flying. We tolerate it. I gesture gently, “I get that, but I specifically picked this seat.” He lingers for a second like maybe I’ll suddenly discover generosity mid-conversation. I do not. He sighs, does that little disappointed head shake, and walks back. I think it’s over. It is not.
