I would say for many it's less sympathy for the individual generally if reports of actions prior to the kicking were correct. It's more that a Police officer was more than happy to engage in the way he did. It makes you wonder what they would get up to if they could get away with it. And indeed, if my upbringing remembers correctly, they would get away with a lot. Folk don't have sympathy for hardened criminals, this is just about Police conduct.Indeed, however, my sympathy meter for the guy in question is flickering on low if he was being a complete twat. Even if PC Letsfuckingaveit is on duty most of us manage to navigate an airport without getting our heads kicked in.
Playing up in an airport is asking for trouble even if the reaction to whatever he did was completely over the top.
