Because it’s not the movies. You hit the largest target area to stop someone. When faced with lethal force (a knife) then it’s reasonable to defend yourself with lethal force. have you ever personally experienced the massive adrenaline dump and total loss of fine motor skills you get when faced with a real and immediate threat to your life?

Years of experience of what? Unless you witnessed the incident or have viewed the evidence you have no idea what happened. The same as I have no idea what happened.

Just as well I never mentioned kicking the person with the knife in the head then isn’t it.

There have been many cases where police shooting someone dead have been deemed to be lawful in the circumstances. A far higher level of force than a kick in the head. So why would it be so hard to imagine a circumstance where a kick may be reasonable?

But we and you don’t know exactly what happened in this specific incident so how can you judge?

You clearly have no idea of what you are talking about. So are you saying if someone has a large knife and is about to stab you in the chest with it it would not be reasonable and lawful to hit them as hard as you possibly could in the head with a baton or whatever else you could lay your hands on? of course it would be lawful whether you are a police officer or any random member of the public.

Absolutely any use of force can be lawful if it is reasonable in the circumstances at the time. what none of us know are the full circumstances

How do you know this? Did you witness events?

The list of possible situations is endless however the threat towards the officers or the public or maybe even Atkinson would have to be high to justify it. Thing is on the basis of those tweets we don’t know what the threat was so we can’t judge. The police may be guilty or their actions may be justified we don’t know. My guess and only a guess is that Atkinson was probably is a state of what is known as excited delirium. People in this state are incredibly difficult to control and often display superhuman levels of strength. It can take many people or high levels of force to get them restrained and taser can be ineffective. Excited delirium can also result in people excepting themselves so much their heart simply gives up on them I am Sure the truth, whatever that is will come out

What are the other facts of the case though? In isolation that sounds horrendous on behalf of the police however there is no context as to what kind of threat Atkinson posed. Kicking someone in the head and tasering someone repeatedly could be reasonable and lawful force in some circumstances of course on the other hand it might not.

He is just crap, lazy and crap.

Shit without big Joey Linton on the pitch

This is how I feel about the whole thing

Having promised the world the consortium supporters Twitter is now joining the social media blackout.

I was really positive about the news that was coming, nothing coming as promised is just another massive let down.

Right, back on track. It’s Friday, what’s the news?

I was literally just about to post that

Is it cos Fat Mike is an enema of the state?

Must be some kind of honey trap sex scandal photos or similar. Mossad have a history of getting people to fall into classic honey traps just ask ZIad Ahmad Itani.

I recon mourinho was a triple agent. Working for the FA, the Saudis and Mossad. His cover was blown and that is why he was sacked. DanieL Levy was tipped off by Masters as they are both members of the illuminati. Since he has been cut loose Mourinho has gone rouge and has tipped off Keith with some juicy info.

Maybe the gazettes legal team have put a block on it?

If that’s true she is dead to me, dead.
