Still shocked by his death. So sad.

The policeman and police woman are an utter disgrace. Vile.

I was just looking for the original Dalian thread and went back over 50 pages and couldn’t find it.

If what’s been alleged is proven to be true, I hope those 2 ****** get the book thrown at them and serve life.

Fucking scumbags, when is kicking someone in the head acceptable, let alone when they're on the floor because you've just fried them?

Of course we do need to wait for all evidence on both sides to be heard and the juries verdict but from what is currently being reported on the prosecution case, it does sound disgraceful. At least we know that there is no institutional racism involved thanks to the Government report on the matter.

I think the other one was removed due to the coming trial and some rumours both for and against the Police response being posted on it at the time. Someone has mentioned it is in another topic.

I think it's the case that the prosecution aren't disputing the fact that the decision to use the taser was justified, it's that they shocked him for way too long, and then kicked him twice. I'm not a legal expert but I'd be surprised if the murder charge stood up, but would also be surprised if the manslaughter charge didn't. If you kick someone in the head who is unconscious on the ground and they die, there's not really much of a defence to that is there, especially if you're a trained police officer.

As an aside, thank fuck we don't give them guns if this what they can do with tasers.

The Prosecution point out that they followed procedure for a bit (whether the procedure it correct for mentally disturbed people is another argument), then when they had subdued him they decided to "punish him" by using boot and truncheon. Yes, I doubt if they went out there with the plan to kill him but so far, unless there is some massive defence argument which isn't "he only died due to other underlying conditions" which I expect them to at least try, then I can't see them getting off manslaughter charges.

Repeating what's been said elsewhere is fine. Commenting further isn't. Thanks.
