I am really confused sir. What should have the officer done? Let him run or let him swallow whatever he had? What would you have done?

@CollegeofPolice instructions are abundantly clear that whenever a suspect swallows anything they have to be treated as a patient & not just a prisoner. Where are the instructions requiring officers to use force to extract evidence? They should be looking at rendering first aid!!11 replies 17 retweets 40 likes -

If you had the FAINTEST idea you'd know that if someone has an object blocking an airway & causing choking, first aid includes removing it if you possibly can... *rolleyes*

Let’s see what the inquest reveals, if the object

I had a case in Brixton. Officers tried & failed to stop swallowing. No injury. Suspect on video sitting calmly in custody. Ambulance took him to casualty. Video of him calm & uninjured in casualty. An hour later he died of a heart attack from cocaine in blood stream. Tragedy.

A tragedy but at least you went by the book & that reduced the possibility an officer being accused of contributing to that person’s death, which erodes trust & confidence in police & surprise surprise ends up w/ increased community tension. Your way was the smart way

We went by the book. We showed Lee & others the cctv. We got the IPCC to release the toxicology. Police were then accused of forcing the deceased to swallow the drugs. There was still a campaign. Officers could have saved him by stopping him swallowing - saving life not evidence.

From personal experience where I’ve taken reasonable steps to prevent the person from swallowing in an attempt to save their life, then I’ve done enough as in the
@CollegeofPolice instructions. This case reinforces perceptions Black prople are ‘Over Policed & Under Protected’.4 replies 1 retweet 1 like -

And your actions meant that the community, through initially concerned, accepted the police version of events. Our conclusion was swallowers we’re assumed to be responsible for their own deaths, not officers.

I remember a @BBCLondonNews report “Every day Commander Paddick takes a step closer to his community and a step further away from his bosses at Scotland Yard.” We all know what happened next!
