PC Benjamin Monk alleged to have used Taser weapon on former Aston Villa player in Telford and kicked him in head in 2016
Christ Almighty. 33 seconds. “Monk is alleged to have fired a Taser weapon at Atkinson for 33 seconds, or more than six times longer than the standard five-second phase, and while he was on the ground and apparently unresponsive, kicked him in the head twice with such force the imprint of Monk’s laces were left on Atkinson’s forehead.”
Just a reminder that footballers taking the knee isn’t just a tribute to Kaepernick’s campaign in America or an empty tribute but also because former Aston Villa player, Dalian Atkinson was killed by police in 2016.
Two West Mercia officers had returned to limited duties after initially being suspended
Football players aren’t not just jumping on a bandwagon they don’t understand as many racists want you to believe. Neither are they copying Game of Thrones as UK Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab tried to say this morning in more jaw dropping ignorance by this govt.
Racism has been rising once more in football both abroad (most notable in Italy and when England played several East European nations) but also here at home where players have been subjected to racist abuse whilst playing across the domestic leagues. To try and say footballers don’t understand what they are taking part in is an attempt to discredit the UK Black Lives Matter movement and continue the idea that racism is an American issue that doesn’t affect Black communities here in the UK.
PC Benjamin Monk was jailed for eight years after he used a Taser on Atkinson and left two bootlace prints on his forehead
Police have formally apologised to the family of ex-footballer Dalian Atkinson, after an officer who Tasered and kicked him in the head was convicted over his death.
West Mercia’s Chief Constable Pippa Mills said she was “deeply sorry”.
In June, PC Benjamin Monk became the first officer in more than 30 years to be convicted of manslaughter during the course of his duties.

Atkinson, a former Aston Villa, Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich Town player, died in hospital after losing consciousness following his arrest near his childhood home in Meadow Close, Telford, Shropshire, in August 2016.

The Chief Constable Pippa Mills said the European Convention on Human Rights obliged her to write to the family. If/When the Tories withdraw from the ECHR Mills would no longer be obliged to write such a letter.
The trial of Pc Benjamin Monk is expected to last for up to eight weeks.
EX-ASTON VILLA STAR Dalian Atkinson died after being tasered three times and kicked at least twice to the head by an “angry” police officer, a murder trial jury has heard.
The jury at Birmingham Crown Court was told West Mercia Police Constable Benjamin Monk denies the murder and manslaughter of the 48-year-old former footballer, who also played for Ipswich Town and Sheffield Wednesday.
Opening the Crown’s case against the 42-year-old officer, who was charged after a three-year inquiry into Mr Atkinson’s death in 2016 in Telford, Shropshire, prosecution counsel Alexandra Healy alleged the ex-footballer was tasered for 33 seconds, more than six times the standard five-second phase.
