MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - JULY 25: People gather outside the office of Manchester Metro Mayor Andy Burnham in the wake of a video showing a police officer kicking a man as he was being detained at Manchester Airport yesterday, on July 25, 2024 in Manchester, England.

In the video, which circulated on Wednesday and sparked a protest last night at Rochester police station, an officer is seen holding a Taser over a man being detained on the ground by another officer, before kicking him twice in the head.
