Fucking mental how this isn’t GBH, ABH, assault, battery, even manslaughter. All she gets is ‘gross misconduct’. Now the worst punishment she’ll get is getting sacked, and even that’s not a guarantee. She’ll probably get a desk job for a few months and then within a year she’ll be back on the streets. Bullshit.
I’m lost as to why they are merely considering whether she gets to keep her job or not whilst her colleague was charged with manslaughter.
He was struck 10 times in all with batons as he lay on the ground 4 times by the male PC and 6 times by her,this is a brutal beating, why wasn’t he tasered and then put in restraints instead of continuously beating him with batons
So both hit him, and killed him, but she might not even lose her job while he went to prison? They should both have gone to prison, or did they think because he was the superior officer she was just following orders?
Why is this the first time I’ve heard about this? Where is the outrage? How is this any different to the George Floyd incident?
At a time when the UK police is claiming to be working hard to restore trust, allowing this PC to keep her job is not going to help.
This whole story is absolutely shocking, I feel so sorry for Mr Atkinson’s family and friends.
I assume we’re going to skirt over the blatant female privilege on this one? She was beating the piss out of an unconscious and non moving man, after police backup had arrived, with a baton. She may not even lose her job.
