Hundreds of users of the platform strongly condemned the actions of the German police officers, arguing that it was an abuse of authority and even “Islamophobia”, since the attacks were unjustified, as they did not put up any resistance.
For its part, the Greater Manchester Police, issued a statement, in which its version says that it was the action of a previous aggression, as the young Muslims allegedly attacked two female police officers, leaving one crying and the other with a broken nose.
However, seeing the confusion that the video has caused, the Directorate of Professional Standards (Professional Standards Directorate)is evaluating the case.

Some of the comments on the post of the Greater Manchester Policeson:
- When a suspect is lying face down, hands at his sides, and being actively tasered, there is no risk of being seized with a firearm. None.
- Shameful@gmpolice
Kicking and stamping on the head of a member of the public who is on the ground and not resisting is nothing short of police brutality. When will you suspend the officer in question? - Are you trying to justify this? He is a punished person with his hands tied. Think of something better! Liars!!
