The Manchester punch up

[muddy]

On the assault at Manchester airport
The jury has been discharged .
I am mystified at why this has been going on so long
There was video evidence of the entire incidence.

The jury has been unable to reach a verdict for the two men involved in the 2024 Manchester Airport police assault.
So presumably the trial has to be retried ?
Must be costing a fortune .

It's extraordinary it appears that certain people in the UK, can beat police officers, and walk free, but if you are the likes of Lucy and tweeted on social media you'd be fast tracked to prison.

I thought it was only one of the charges that couldn't be decided. That's from memory though I think as I'm sure I saw something about this a while ago.

They got one conviction ( breaking the woman pcs nose ) 
I don't know what they other is about

I see this is a new result from a retrial. It must be the undecided charge from the original trial. I thought some charges had been upheld in that one.

Checking shows there was one conviction from that - https://www.gmp.police.uk/news/greater-manchester/news/news/2025/july/man-convicted-of-assaulting-two-female-police-officers-and-a-member-of-the-public/

They were also charged with assault an a male police officer following the first assault. My pure speculation is that they were in a punch up with other police who maybe didn't stick to the rules after their female colleague had her nose broken

That's what I gathered, Klon.

As they well know there would be no such dithering in their country of origin Pakistan .
The police are issued with guns as well as batons 
And they use them
