I suspect the legal argument is around intent. Did the officer set out to kill Atkinson in a premeditated way? Probably not.The scum booing the taking of the knee will be cheering that decision. Vindicated by the judicary.
Black lives dont matter.
Got to be voluntary man slaughter, anything else will cause trouble and rightfully look like preferential justice because of job and victim.I suspect the legal argument is around intent. Did the officer set out to kill Atkinson in a premeditated way? Probably not.
But he clearly either completely lost control or decided that he needed to use a ridiculous amount of force which he would have known runs the risk of serious harm. My view is itbis the latter and a strong sentence, and message, is needed.
I'd say the same if it were a nightclub bouncer dealing with a coked up scally.Got to be voluntary man slaughter, anything else will cause trouble and rightfully look like preferential justice because of job and victim.
Done a bit of "control and restraint" back in the day lots of training and what prison service and policies use/d . Really is the golden area head and neck your on your own when you start doing things like head kicking. And can't excuse the head kicking revolting sick person does that, you intend to kill!I'd say the same if it were a nightclub bouncer dealing with a coked up scally.
But yeah, its a difficult and emotionally fraught one with a stack of politics around it.
Putting aside the legal definition of murder: he tasered Atkinson 3 times and once 6x the time length of a legal tasering. Then he decided to execute a couple of volleys with his reinforced boots into the forehead of a man prostrate.I suspect the legal argument is around intent.

The law falls short on police brutality. You could argue no officer intends to kill the victim in a premeditated way, because they wouldn't have been near the victim had they not been called to their location.I suspect the legal argument is around intent.

Any member of the public did that and it'd be regarded and judged as murder.
To be clear, two of the attempts were unsuccessful and the final attempt was over the standard deployment (recommend time), but there's not a legal length.Putting aside the legal definition of murder: he tasered Atkinson 3 times and once 6x the time length of a legal tasering.

Stop presuming and politicising a horrible murder. Positively ghoulish behaviour.The scum booing the taking of the knee will be cheering that decision. Vindicated by the judicary.
