This is Dalian Atkinson scoring the 92/92 MOTD goal of the season.
Today a cop got cleared of his murder but convicted of his manslaughter. RIP
Quote:
Monk told the court he ran in fear after Mr Atkinson, who appeared to be having a mental health crisis, made death threats and smashed a glass door pane.The trial heard Monk had discharged his Taser three times at Mr Atkinson, twice unsuccessfully, but on the third time he overrode the system, holding down the trigger for 33 seconds - more than six times the standard deployment.
The officer claimed to have no recollection of placing his foot on Mr Atkinson's head as colleagues arrived at the scene.However he conceded he must have kicked the ex-footballer twice in the forehead, because bootlace prints proved he had.
Monk maintained his actions were lawful self-defence, made necessary when the former Premier League star tried to get up.
