Man Chokes To Death After Being Chased By The Police.

[saintpeter48]

So it emerges that the young man in question has a long criminal record, has had a couple of attempts made on his life and has been described as a 'lovable rogue'!
Why was he running away from the police if he had nothing to hide, sad that it is, I feel that if you live by the sword then you'll die by the sword, the police just can't win in this sort of situation.

The result of the post mortem will answer your questions....I hope.

I see the young man being restrained around the neck, then appeared to go limp. That's what I see, but its not necessarily what actually happened, best wait on pm and investigation.

Huge amount of speculation going on here....I will wait until the results of all the enquiries that will be made are out. I really get concerned about how judgemental people are without all the facts in front of them. I thought we lived in a society that believes we are innocent til proved to be guilty....whatever side of the law we may or may not be on

Once again webbo dave just for you.

I am not disputing the fact that the dealer swallowed his drugs or other object, im disputing that officer nice as pie did not intend to help the man, if the man was choking, cuff him, stand him up and slap his back then heimrich manouvres, not headlock him, to stop his breathing and keep the item lodged in his throat chocking him whilst he or the other copper did nothing to help him until they probably stood him up and the poor guy was unconscious and on his way to death and fear then enveloped the pair.

Anyone who does not realise this with cctv evidence is surely naive and god help the victims family if members of the jury against the killer are as naive.

Not sure what it is with the "Ive seen a manslaughter but will wait for others to tell me that what ive seen isn't what ive seen at all" LOL.

Personally i believe my own eyes and ears and when the day comes when i don't believe my own eyes and ears then maybe it's time for me to see someone professional about it.

As Tora said, one less low life in our midst.

Looked like a black police officer apprehending a black lad. Both fell to the ground in the scuffle.Policeman does have the lad in a headlock but is clearly trying to extract something from the lad's mouth. Had the police officer been exerting too much pressure the black lad would probably have died there and then. Not hours after. I think that he probably died from whatever he swallowed..Look how many young people have died lately and they only took one pill. Let's not be too quick to judge until we know the facts.

Thirdamigo.....I have had another look....it does look a bit rough around the neck doesn't it......on the rugby field he would be sent off for a head high tackle.
You need co-operation for the Heimlich procedure and i doubt whether that guy is ready to co-operate.
Yes....a bit rough....you may well have a point....

[maggiebee]

See TTT is acting as judge and Jury once more. A life apparently means nothing to you.

[Thirdamigo]

"one less low life if you ask me."

"no mikey but when low life drug dealers do get offed it's a bonus for the rest of us."

"As Tora said, one less low life in our midst"

Yes let's all kill low level drug dealers, preferably by hanging with a cross burning in the background whilst i'm on my horse wearing a white hood.

Yeah i've heard your spiels before many a time, usually from the deep south of the USA

[Thirdamigo]

Indeed sqad.

[Baldric]

Oh Dear !

[Zacs-Master]

I believe the KKK are a racist organisation so what that has do do with a lack of concern over the death of someone who probably caused a lot of heartache to other people via his criminal activities, I've no idea.

[tonyav]

on the rugby field he would be sent off for a head high tackle.

Wasn't a game of rugby though.

This game is called cops and robbers.

[saintpeter48]

Saintpeter - couldnt put it better myself. You live by the sword you die by the sword. The Police can never win.

"TGT, 19.44, I am not very much into Cockney Rhyming Slang, I know TGT means idiot, but what does offed mean in your post?"

Offed=Murdered (Not cockey but american slang as mamya posted

"Yes Tonyav, cops v robbers, good versus evil, and I know who I want on my side...... the Police everytime! "

Agreed but the good by the book officers and not the bent coppers who think their badges are an invite to kill,injure and maim
