So you do not equate threatening to kill having stated he had already killed with immediate danger!

I am lost a bit slicer, Dalian had already killed someone?
If you have a link? |

By:
No- read the whole thread regarding what he had said to his father.

I see, but I see no need to kill Dalian Atkinson?
Why was he being tasered on the ground? Dalian needed arresting and put in a prison or a psychiatric unit that was all. He was not armed, why kill him? |

By:
you talk as though they deliberately murdered him

The police don't KNOW FOR CERTAIN that ANYONE is unarmed until after the event!

You can't reason with someone who is mentally ill and acting crazy and yelling threats. They probably reacted in fear of their own lives. It's a tragic event for all concerned.

Do you kill someone for being mentally ill?
Once he was down, what threat was he? At the moment we probably need more information as you say Slicer. I am not saying he was murdered BB, but he is now dead. The taser is intended to disable not kill, once he was down it had done it's job. He then went down 'like a lead balloon' after being hit by the Taser, an eyewitness said. 'Then he was Tasered and he fell to the floor. I heard the taser go off again a number out times, at least four or five, when he was on he ground. ‘Afterwards the two police officers starting kicking him around his body. I heard the Taser go off again a number out times, at least four or five, when he was on the ground. Two eye witness statements, that do not look good to me. |

Hindsight criticism is easy, it must be very nervy being in such a situation too. A horrible place to be for those two coppers now,they should have just let him keep on kicking the door down.

I accept that treetop.
My concerns are, after they have disabled Dalian, why did they continue using the taser? The police are paid to do a difficult job. |

By:
A tense situation ,all keyed up and scared stiff yourself ? I suppose that is easy,though training has to help it must still be intensive emotion. An inquiry should cover it but I am sure the activists will demand blood.

By:
It was tense treetop I agree.
I only demand the truth, not blood myself. But a man is dead here, questions must be asked. I would have thought ,once Dalian was down, immediate threat over. Why not call for backup and get him back to the station? There is the charge of threatening behaviour, but a Doctor also needs to see Dalian. ???????????????????????????????????????? |

By:
Interesting point case
There is a lot of buck passing now, one suspect no one wanted to deal with Dalian. He was bankrupt, his life was in free fall. It is not good enough. |

By:
Seems Strange that 2 police officers would choose to deal with the situation on their own

I agree case...If they needed support call for it....no idea???????
