A devastating thread from Instagram. On the conditions in Gaza and the genocidal glee in Israel.
‘The plausible denial of “I didn’t know has collapsed, and choosing to be in denial is a choice to be complicit.’

![Q: Can it ever be appropriate for policemen to kick a suspect armed with a knife who is already lying on the ground repeatedly in the head? Would it be a standard professional approach or an effective tactic?
Short answer: it would almost never be considered appropriate, standard, or effective for police to repeatedly kick a grounded suspect in the head—even if the person has (or had) a knife.
Core principles of police use of force
Modern policing frameworks (e.g., the UK’s Criminal Law Act 1967 and Human Rights Act 1998, alongside College of Policing guidance) are built on:
Necessity → force only if required
Proportionality → match the threat level
Reasonableness → judged from the officer’s perspective at the time
Force must stop once the threat is controlled.
