Chesire man calls police for help, they kill him.

Normally, I wouldn't trust the Daily Mail to report the lottery, but I'll get to that in a minute.

'As far as I know he didn't have a job but lived with his parents and was just a really popular guy who knew a lot of people.'

The mother-of-three claimed: 'What the police did was outrageous. He was handcuffed, on the floor with his legs restrained and they didn't even have the decency to pull up his pants.

'They seemed to be kneeing him in the back of the head. I counted 11 cops. They were all sat on him, giving him a kicking and giving him side digs. There was one woman officer, the rest were men, and she was getting her kicks in as well.

'They were chasing him in the street. I saw it because they chased him in front of my house.

'His mum told me Jake was the one who rang the police himself, saying that someone was threatening him with a gun.

'They started chasing him and hitting him in the back of the legs with batons. They said, "Why don't you stand up and give yourself some dignity," to him. But he couldn't even stand up after they'd hit him with the batons.

'It was so upsetting to see. I couldn't believe the police could do that. It was like something you see on those TV cop shows.

'I went to speak to his mum. She didn't know what happened. She was mortified when they knocked on her door those hours later and told her, "Your son's died".

'They had banged his head on the floor and they were giving him punches. He was already handcuffed and he was restrained when I saw him. I don't know what happened in the house, I just saw when they were on the street.

'He was shouting, "Help me, help me". He wasn't coherent. I don't know why they were bringing him in for affray. It doesn't matter, he didn't deserve that.

'He's never been in trouble before as far as I know.

Now, like I said, I don't trust the Daily Mail, and neither does any sane person.

But I'd trust it before I'd trust a British cop.  Their story:

I wish to express our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr Jacob Michael, who died following an incident in Lacey Street, Widnes on Monday 22 August.

In addition to the latest statement released by the IPCC regarding the investigation into the death of Jacob Michael, I believe it is important for the community to know that the detailed post mortem examination this afternoon found no physical injuries on Jacob that could be attributable to a cause of his death.

Also, from the original link:

Today Michael's father, a retired businessman who is also called Jacob, emerged from the property with his daughter after police officers spent 30 minutes speaking to them.

Mr Michael Snr said: 'I cannot say anything at this stage because it's far too early to say what happened and we need to know how Jake died.

I wonder what the Peelers said to him for 30 minutes?

Almost?

I'm guessing they're doing this on purpose trying to get people to give them an excuse.

The sad thing is that I can see either one of those being the case. :S

He called the filth for help??? What the fuck did he think would happen?

Yup. This. I have never seen any situation get anything other than more inflamed, by someone calling the Police in. Although this seems particularly disgusting, this shit happens every single day, somewhere in the Country. The only difference this time is that the lad was killed.
Stuff like this gets investigated thoroughly, by a body called "The Independent Police Complaints Commission. However, the word "independent" in this case, seems to be some kind of extremely unfunny Police in joke, because what actually happens, is that the Police investigate it themselves! The only concession made as far as "Independent" is concerned, is that the investigatio
There are, to my certain knowledge,  hundreds of deaths in Police Custody every year, and dozens of people who die, or are seriously injured in the course of being arrested.
And in all my 46 years, I can't even remember one case of a Policeman  EVER getting prosecuted for brutality.
I 've seen the Police over the years committing the most appalling acts of un-necessary brutality and,overzealous use of deadly force,  from the Miner's strike, to the G20 Summit,  in  the  "Stop the  City"  marches, the Road  protests, and lastly, but by no means least,   pitched battles between mounted Travellers, (In Cavalry formation) and the S.P.G. Not Ade Edmunson's hamster, from the Young Ones,but the "Special Patrol Groups" (Disbanded now)
They are answerable to no-one,  and that's a bit of a dangerous scenario.

The uniform is a magnifying glass on intent. If you want to be good it'll make you better. If you want to be a cunt it'll make you deeper. Lotta the latter, cruising the beat, swinging their sticks. Best left the fuck alone from where I'm sitting.

Amen to that. There *are* Policemen out there with good intentions, and decency still
(There! Bet you never thought you'd hear me concede that point this side of sanity) but they are pretty fucking thin on the ground, and they still have to uphold and enforce stupid fucking legislation, that should never even see the light of day.  According to the whichever Crimes happen to be "Target" offences for that particular week, in that particular force, and under the scrutiny of whichever Political Columnist the Daily Mail have dragged out from their stock cupboard of Fuckwitted fascists this week.

It's not like one can call GhostBusters.  I mean seriously.  You are supposed to be able to call the local police and feel confident that they will help you.  That they will get the bad guys.  Of course this is all in a perfect world right?

This is a terrible thing that happened to this guy and one would hope that the police's internal affairs department will do something about it.  Problem is I'm not holding my breath on that.  It's a shame that you can't count on the very people who are paid to protect you to actually protect you.

I know this kind of thing happens, and I'm sure it happens more than we ever hear about.  It's hard to accept when you do actually read about it because you don't want things to be this way.  Here in the US (I don't know about other countries) we are taught in elementary school that the police are supposed to be your friend.  Anyone else remember Office Friendly?  It's practically inbred in us.  

Sorry, I'm rambling.....

Funny thing is, the cops in Tucson are how police were portrayed to us as kids.  Helpful, polite, reasonable.

Except the SWAT team, of course, which is something straight out of Reno 911.  After The Incident, they're not allowed to use their armored car, and after the recent ridiculous shooting, they're all under review to see if we even NEED a SWAT team.
