UK Police Apologize for Ex-Soccer Player's Killing Find Big News

A British police chief has written to apologize to the family of former professional soccer player Dalian Atkinson, who failed after a police officer used a stun gun on him and demurred him in the head.

In June, bobby Benjamin Monk was condemned of manslaughter and doomed to eight times in captivity for the 2016 death of the 48- time-old Atkinson.
The former Aston Villa striker failed at a sanitarium shortly after he was arrested in Telford, central England. Atkinson, who appeared to be suffering from a internal health extremity at the time, was subdued by police using a stun gun.

Prosecutors said Monk used the stun gun against Atkinson for 33 seconds, further than six times longer than was standard, and demurred him at least doubly in the head.
In a letter, Pippa Mills, the new head of the West Mercia police force, said she was “ deeply sorry” for Monk’s conduct.

A police livery doesn’t grant officers impunity to bear unlawfully or to abuse their powers,” she wrote.
The family’s counsel, Kate Maynard, said in a statement the sanctioned reason is “ ate and overdue.”

The charity Probe, which supports the deprived in cases of deaths involving the state, has said that Monk’s conviction is believed to be the first time a British police officer has been plant shamefaced of the manslaughter of a Black man.
It’s extremely rare for police in Britain to be condemned of manslaughter or murder over deaths in guardianship or during contact with the public. Maynard said Monk’s conviction was the first of a serving officer on a manslaughter charge in connection with their policing duties in over 30 times.
