I am so monumentally bored of Zac Polanski. Utterly tiresome.

Laura Kuenssberg, "Do you believe the police were heavy-handed when they apprehended the suspect (who had been tasered was on the ground and kicked in the head five times by the two officers)?" Zack Polanksi, "I was very concerned by what I saw and I remain concerned" "The reason why I apologised is because I accept that X, and social media, is not the appropriate forum to have that concern" "I also think an open letter from the Met Police Commissioner was also not the appropriate forum, but I'm glad that we've resolved that now. I've asked him for a meeting and I'll be taking those concerns in private" Laura Kuenssberg, "So you still think it looks like the police were heavy handed (after the tasered a man, he was on. the ground, and they kicked him in the head five times)?" Zack Polanksi, "Officers are brave when they run towards situations which most of us, including myself, would want to run away from" "I also accept that as an elected member of the London Assembly and on the Police and Crime Committee, it's important that everyone who works in public service, including people who are being brave, should not be above scrutiny" "It's important that I have that conversation with the commissioner and that we ensure that actions are proportionate, no matter how brave the officers are) Laura Kuenssberg, "Everyone's seen the pictures, do you think it was proportional?" Zack Polanksi, "I'm not sure everyone has seen the video because the video is so graphic. That said I accept social media is not the forum" "I need to have that conversation with the commissioner"
