Five police officers will not face prosecution after the death of a mentally ill man in custody, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has ruled. Sean Rigg's family said it was "shameful" the CPS had upheld its decision from 2016. The musician, 40, died from a heart attack at Brixton police station in south London in 2008. In 2012 an inquest jury found that police used "unsuitable" force after arresting Mr Rigg. The CPS chose not to authorise charges against any of the officers last year because the evidential threshold was not met. A review began at the request of Mr Ri

Guardian: Police chief: terrorist convicted in US should have been tried in UK
Chief Bakes posted a topic in UK Policing News

If these officers are looking for a missing child then they're going to let a lot slide so not to be doverted from the search. Also since when did cctv always show "threatening and abusive behaviour" unless it was perfect quality and you had a lip readin
