Happy go licky
And then there is the issue of 40% black youth unemployment so is it any wonder that some of them are drawn into criminality while others are incarcerated unfairly.
RIP Dalian Atkinson

He is the first to be convicted of manslaughter as a result of police contact in more than 30 years.

Updates as police officer is jailed for killing Dalian Atkinson
Family's statement:
"Pc Monk used horrendous violence against Dalian, who was in an extremely vulnerable position in mental health crisis and needed help.
This was a callous attack and a terrible abuse of a police officer’s position of trust. He then failed to give a full and honest account of what happened, including at his trial. We are pleased that all these factors have been reflected in the sentence.
We were shocked to learn that Pc Monk was not sacked in February 2011 for gross misconduct for his dishonesty; he should never have been working for the police in August 2016 and Dalian should not have died.
We pay tribute to all the bereaved families of black men who have died at the hands of the police and whose fight for justice has not led to successful prosecutions.
It shouldn’t take the death of a famous footballer for the criminal justice system to work properly and we hope that more families can secure justice in future regardless of whether the deceased is a high profile person.
As his fellow footballers take the knee, we hope that they will honour the memory of Dalian.
Whilst this case has taken far too long, we thank the IOPC and CPS for ultimately bringing Pc Monk to justice.”

Over five years since he was killed, West Mercia Police have now sent a written apology to the family of former footballer Dalian Atkinson, six months after an officer who Tasered him and kicked him in the head was jailed for manslaughter:
Police formally apologise over Dalian Atkinson death after officer’s conviction
Police formally apologise over Dalian Atkinson death after officer’s conviction
Bahnhof Strasse
Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
The time it takes for filth to get to trial and the way they get away with it takes the piss. And now they have sent a letter saying sorry we killed him. A letter is, ‘sorry I crashed in you your car’, not ‘sorry one of ours murdered yours and we whittled it down to manslaughter and are truly sorry we have to apologise for that’
Cunts.
Cunts.
