Rochdale's MP has spoken on their behalf
The family at the centre of the ongoing Greater Manchester Police storm is 'appealing for calm' after two days of protest. Video footage of a man being kicked in the head while being arrested at Manchester Airport has sparked widespread condemnation.
Social media has also erupted with debate surrounding the video clip in recent days. But Rochdale's new Labour MP has shared a plea for calm from the family involved in the incident, insisting they simply want to 'find justice'.Paul Waugh told BBC Breakfast: “They have got no political agenda whatsoever. They are not going to attend any of these protests and they wanted me to issue an appeal for calm among all different types of communities in Rochdale.
It comes as a further demonstration is expected to take place in Manchester on Saturday. GMP suspended an officer implicated in the incident on Thursday morning. “The police themselves said it was a distressing clip but just imagine if that was your brother or your son in that clip; you can imagine how distraught they are. The two priorities of the family is first, the health and the wellbeing of their family – healing and getting better. The second priority, is justice and the need for justice not just to be done but seen to be done.”
