Someone with a badge and a gun and a nightstick and a taser has the right to beat the crap out of you for acting like a dummy? Granted, this is England's side of the story, but it sounds like he got beaten up for having the gall to ask a question or two.
Dont tell me, you're a dumbass too?
Nobody said anything about anyone's rights.
However, I'm sure you're correct. He asked a coupled of generic questions and got harassed by the people whose responsibility it is to make sure explosive devices do not get on an airplane [cuz they aint got nothing better to do] and then if that were not bad enough, black helicopters swooped in and three cops rappelled onto the concourse roof, blew a hole through the ceiling and proceeded to beat down a hard working, God fearing, humble US soldier who was simply enjoying his Coca~Cola.
Go away nitwit.
