They handcuffed him and dragged him over gravel whilst he was bleeding to death. He wasn’t going to run anywhere was he? Why handcuff anyone who has quite obviously been seriously injured…. a mistake…jeez. I note 3 of the 4 officers have now left the forceEvery murder is a tragedy. It’s not though necessary to try to link each to a particular narrative of racism or police ineptitude.
