Dalian Atkinson trial

[simon ward 50]

Even reading the reports 6 years after the event it still shocks me!

BTW. Mary Ellen? That's a sackable offence right there!

PA saying not sacked

[Somniloquism]

A PC who repeatedly struck ex-footballer Dalian Atkinson on the night he was killed by her colleague has been found guilty of gross misconduct.

A disciplinary panel decided the West Mercia Police officer used excessive force, but ruled she could keep her job and gave her a final written warning.

Gross Misconduct is normally a sackable offence in all jobs I'm aware of. Normally serious misconduct is the final warning (or two to three minor misconducts).

Very poor decision.
