Title: Dalian Atkinson Post by: Sheriff Fatman on August 15, 2016, 02:37:34 PM Shocked to read that he has died following a police incident in which he was shot with a taser.
I remember him well from his playing days. Not sure of the exact circumstances as to why the police used the taser on him, but it seems to be whilst he was visiting his father. Early indications are that it triggered a fatal cardiac arrest. Tragic incident, and a high-profile victim on this occasion.

I suppose we can expect this woman to get a tabloid monstering off the back of police briefings until she remembers things differently? http://www.independent.ie/videos/world-news/dalian-atkinson-eyewitness-claims-when-he-was-down-police-kept-on-tasering-him-34966816.html (http://www.independent.ie/videos/world-news/dalian-atkinson-eyewitness-claims-when-he-was-down-police-kept-on-tasering-him-34966816.html) |
