A police officer has been convicted of the manslaughter of the former professional footballer Dalian Atkinson, after firing an electric stun gun into him for 33 seconds and kicking him twice in the head as he lay on the ground.

PC Benjamin Monk of the West Mercia force, was convicted of the killing by a jury at Birmingham crown court.

Monk was accused of lying in court about his account, and of kicking and stamping on Atkinson’s head while he was barely conscious on the ground.

Monk is the first officer convicted of manslaughter during the course of his duties in over three decades

Atkinson was kicked with such force his blood was found in the laces of Monk’s police issue boots.

That last line makes the manslaughter charge look odd. So stunned him to the ground then kicked him twice in the head.

Jailed for 8 years

Also emerged the bent cunt failed to declare two two police cautions for theft and drunkeness when applying to the police. He got a final written warning for it when their PSD caught up with him in 2011.

EFL not appealing the Derby decision so they will play in the Championship next season

Still got to resubmit their accounts though so could be getting a points penalty next season.

should we therefore reduce, or even get rid of, early kick offs?

I wonder who this is? The picture shows Greater Manchester Police? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-57899127
If it is from Man City or Man United there are only two first team squad members who are 31 . I in each team.

Ok I get it now. Was concerned it could have been KW who is 31 or DDG the same age. Both senior internationals.

I hear whoever it is is pleading mistaken identity, claiming it was some other geyser.
