Dalian Atkinson

Sounds pretty horrific what happened to him.

Tazered and then kicked in the head.

Unbelievable. Sometimes with court reporting the story changes as the prosecution then defence speak, but if this is true its horrific and the police have no defence. RIP Dalian

The fact both coppers were in a relationship speaks volumes, if he thought Atkinson was threatening her he's probably flipped

As you say be hard pushed to wriggle out of that one by the sounds

Sounds awful what happened to him.

Can't believe it happened in 2016, and has taken until now to go to trial.

I bet the accused coppers have been suspended on full pay for five years.

Letting two officers in a relationship go on patrol together is rank unprofessionalism, though I saw similar in a fly on the wall doc the other week. Poor professionalism has an accumulative effect, leading to really unpleasant outcomes as we're seeing.

Has anyone speculated if he was on crack yet?

This is where body cam recordings will be crucial.
