Equilibrium

@antmiddleton I'm still not convinced that this was this year's rally

👀👀👀

@GBPolitcs Definitely this year and not last? Doesn't feel as many as last year unfortunately...

🚨NEW: An aerial shot shows the size of the crowd currently marching towards Parliament Square for the 'Unite the Kingdom' event

@TheGriftReport Is that from this time round or is this old footage ?

More aerial footage of Unite The Kingdom

@Liquid_Ghost @LBC @AytonImarn @TomSwarbrick1 Correct, an X2 taser only lasts for 5 seconds cycle, unless you extend the power for longer than 5 seconds. But the threat hasn't been neutralised, just temporary halted to give you time and options to consider how to bring the incident to a safe conclusion. They just don't know!

@LBC @AytonImarn @TomSwarbrick1 Talk about dealing with an ongoing threat when you’ve dealt with one. There’s a lot of evidence that a taser does not incapacitate people. If effective it’s only temporary. You do not stop until the subject is rendered “combat ineffective” when you are protecting innocent public.

’That wasn’t why I felt uncomfortable.’ Anti-racism activist @AytonImarn and @TomSwarbrick1 on the police response to the Golders Green attack, as Zack Polanski faces backlash for criticising the Met.

@SamanthaTaghoy Pava spray hasn't worked, the taser hasn't worked, not helped by part of the member of the public getting in the way, suspect still had control of the knife and gripping it hard. The logical step is to increase the use of force and aggression. Once they had the knife they stopped

“This is police brutality” “Why are they being so rough?” “Totally overkill.” This man is a TERRORIST. A literal terrorist who was trying to stab up a street full of people in broad daylight. Get a grip.

@msjenniferjames I'm confused on how you would have dealt with it... Would you have allowed him to stand up? Going to hand to hand wrestling with someone with a knife is life threatening, and the officers will always put the public's safety and their own before the suspects.

The officers did amazing work up until they chose to treat his head like a football. You can’t kick someone repeatedly in the head when they don’t pose any threat. Disproportionate use of force which could have killed him. He’d been tasered and he was face down on the ground. This cannot be allowed to stand. Police cannot act as judge, jury and executioner.

@bencsmoke Taser only lasts for 5 seconds cycle... After the 5 seconds he can get up... Then what...

they kicked him repeatedly in the head when he was already on the ground and incapacitated…

@adje__ Just wondering... How would you have dealt with it...

As bad as what he did was, abhorrent actually, police absolutely cannot do this. Wtf!?

@InspGadgetBlogs Totally justified, very brave officers, hope the IOPC will come to a quick conclusion. I wonder if an Op Plato was declared... 🤔

The police officers kicking this terrorist in the head is a direct result of a lack of firearms. The Taser takes him down but does not disarm him. In any other country, the terrorist would be dead. #BackTheBlue

@wawaw74 @CharlieZtuker They didn't, they initially chased him but he turned around, so they created distance, With a X2 taser you need to create distance for it to be effective, at least 15 feet. It worked but he fell still holding the knife and he continued to be a threat. They did their job!

@CharlieZtuker Why did they run away from him first...he could have started attacking other innocent people walking past? Ps the coppers will now be struck off for using excessive force, and the wrong un will get off on mental health bullshit

🚨 A terrorist on the streets of London hunting Jews. Yes. Its 2026

@h4ppychap @eddcoles They were professional, and each kick or stamp was justified with a shout of "Drop the knife".. in a terrorist incident where Op Plato is declared then police are instructed to stop the threat by any means necessary.. one they knife was taken from him, they stopped the strikes.

@eddcoles Don't try to create an equality where no equality exists. If it was bystanders giving the hiding, all fair. Those were professional police, with weapons to deal with a threat. There is no parallel here. The force used was excessive, simple and I ain't no fan of criminal Muslims.

@InspGadgetBlogs I can't see this ever being misused 🤔

Great news. Facial recognition systems will be introduced across the country, the government has said as it welcomed the failure of a legal challenge to the technology. news.sky.com/story/facial-r…

@EscortVehicle Well if you're still around when I retire 🚓 then I might send in an app... Sound like a great job ! 🚨

It would seem we are recruiting!! Come & join the boys!! If you fancy bimbling along the Highway of life setting the pace for everyone behind you- see the world- every day is a busmans holiday adventure.. Send me a DM😁 Must be over 30yrs old (insurance🙈& NO wannabe Cops!)

@koshercockney I didn't see him pointing the gun, it was aimed at the floor you grifter.

🚨 London, right now. Look at this idiot throwing a tantrum. This Pro-Palestinian mob is crying because armed police are surrounding the Ministry of Defence building which they tried to storm after attempting to lynch members of the UK military.

@1030pa @BettyBoochichi2 Clicking the share button on a public photo and making a nice comment about them isn't sexism nor wrong... What is sexist is if it was a female officer doing the same about a male colleague then we wouldn't even be hearing about it.

@BettyBoochichi2 At a misconduct hearing last Autumn, Mr Ezard accepted his conduct was 'sexist, objectifying, inappropriate and wrong', but denied it amounted to gross misconduct.

A former police inspector fell from a 100ft-high motorway bridge months after quitting his force amid claims he sent ‘sexist’ WhatsApp messages ‘objectifying’ a female officer. ‘Hugely-respected’ Jonathan Ezard, 38, resigned from Greater Manchester Police last year ahead of a misconduct hearing. The married father-of-two was alleged to have sent messages deemed by bosses to be 'misogynistic, degrading and disrespectful' – and also said to have shared images of the officer with an ex-colleague.  One of his comments is said to have simply read: ‘Nice! She looks a million dollars on a night out, too.’ His family said the ‘misconduct allegation was unfairly characterised, pursued and decided upon’ and ‘utterly devastated him’, while colleagues said he had been ‘hounded’ by his ex-bosses. A source said: ‘The comments came to light when another police officer from a different force was facing professional standards proceedings.’ ‘An officer's phone was seized, and this WhatsApp group came to light. That's when Mr Ezard's comments came to light.’ Mr Ezard was a ‘hugely respected’ officer, sources say. One said: ‘He was very well-liked. He was a great boss. People of all positions respected him.’ ‘He got the job done and brought in results. What has happened to him is an absolute disgrace.’ ‘He has been hounded by GMP. Heads should roll. It's abhorrent.’ Mr Ezard, a married father-of-two, is understood to have launched an appeal, but a hearing was never held. His family and former colleagues have spoken of their anger at force bosses over their handling of his case. His loved ones said in a statement: ‘The circumstances in which Jon left the police service - a misconduct allegation that was unfairly characterised, pursued and decided upon - utterly devastated him, as did the fact that his appeal, which we expected to succeed, was never given a date to be heard.’ ‘Our family is heartbroken and trying to process an unimaginable loss.’ ‘We hope that Jon will be remembered for the life he lived, for his dedication to serving others, the difference he made in his community and the love he gave to his family and friends.’ One former colleague said Mr Ezard fell 'foul of today's increasingly imbalanced misconduct and cut throat dismissal system', adding: ‘I'm angry that yet another colleague felt there was no other option available to him’. Another ex-colleague insisted the messages at the centre of the misconduct proceedings were not misogynistic.  Another said he was a 'dedicated police officer... admired by many of those he led.’ They added: ‘For the most part he served with pride, was the recipient of many awards and commendations, championed for his leadership.’ ‘That a system and profession he gave everything to treated him with such hostility and contempt towards the end of his career, seeking to reduce the majority of his unblemished service, diligence and sacrifice to others, to a line on a barred list.’ The ex-officer took another job with Amazon after leaving the force but is understood to have been let go of during his probationary period. He died on Tuesday March 31 in front of horrified colleagues who had tried to talk him down from the parapet of the 100ft (30-metre) high Barton Bridge on the M60 Manchester outer ring road. The incident is not being treated as suspicious and an inquest is to be opened at a later date by the Bolton Coroner, who covers Salford. At a misconduct hearing last Autumn, Mr Ezard accepted his conduct was 'sexist, objectifying, inappropriate and wrong', but denied it amounted to gross misconduct. He was said to have 'actively sought out' photographs of the 'young female officer' from her social media account last January and sent them to another police officer from a different force who he knew.

@campbell_g15086 @JeremyVineOn5 Good question, is it just theft or do other offences commit in store they would turn a blind eye to... What about sneek theft of a customers phone, what about a sexual assault, or an attempted child abduction? Will all staff get fired if they try to intervene? 🤔

@JeremyVineOn5 I think Waitrose stores are likely to be very busy from now on But funds going in their tills will be a bit on the low side I wonder what the policy is if say a customer is robbed in store , will the staff help ?

Should the Waitrose worker who stopped a shoplifter get his job back? An employee of 17 years was sacked after wrestling a bag of Easter eggs from a thief. He was warned not to confront people, but he says he's sick of shoplifters getting away with it. What do you think?

@dshensmith @drhingram Of course it was a joke... I mean £5 is a bargain 😆

@drhingram 🤙😅 We’ll discuss over that coffee 😆

For £5 an hour I will sit opposite your store exit with a sniper rifle

@Daily_Express Should take his headphones from his head, and not give it back. See how he likes it.

Brazen shoplifter steals food from M&S before shoving staff out his way 😱 #dailyexpress #news #london

@BasilTheGreat @waitrose Where was the security guard?

@waitrose To be clear Walker has admitted he threw the easter egg after the altercation in anger and it hit a shopping trolley But give him a break He's obviously going to be angry trying to stop these people

🚨WAITROSE DOUBLES DOWN ON SACKED WORKER What is wrong with you @waitrose ? Waitrose have released a statement CONFIRMING they believe they think they were RIGHT to sack Walker Smith for trying to stop a shoplifter WAITROSE STATEMENT IN COMMENTS 👇

@scottneedham88 Didn't need a Baton though did he, went straight to hands-on .

Leave the batons at home today lads or was they all at the football match?
