A man who died after being restrained in the street by public transport workers was unlawfully killed, a coroner has ruled.
The court heard that the father-of-one's life effectively ended while being held face down on a pavement outside the Australasia restaurant in central Manchester. The inquest was told later that evening, shortly before 23:30, the group were spotted at Manchester Victoria station, and recognised by the CSR who had earlier challenged them.A row broke out and Mr Barnes became aggressive to being confronted.
After a nine-minute chase across almost a mile of the city centre, Mr Barnes was caught by Mr Gartside and bundled to the ground outside the Deansgate restaurant. However, Mr Rowlands told the coroner that he had been trained in restraint while serving as a GMP officer for 13 years and that he had left the force due to an injury in 1989.He also told the inquest that "it didn't enter my head" to follow Metrolink's "walk away" policy.image captionRecording a conclusion of unlawful killing, Mr Meadows said that the exertion of the chase and the pressure on Mr Barnes's neck more than minimally contributed to the heart attack.
Some if these comments remind me that we have a long way to go as a society. All men involved deserve to be imprisoned.
NeilHudgell I'm sure I knew this kid, a bit of a scally who used to pop in a shop I worked in, I might be wrong. Anyway regardless he didn't deserve that, I can't believe no one is facing manslaughter charges for what they've done. They killed him for what? A dent in their ego.
NeilHudgell Surely this would indicate Murder other manslaughter.Hopefully some one will be held accountable and give some closure to the family
who will take the knee ? oh sorry wrong colour skin
Oh well, one less smack head.🤬
So pensioner who stabs young armed thief who enters his house gets arrested and charged (initially), but 4 men (against instruction) chase down and restrain person who subsequently died = no charges. WTF!
I’m surprised no one has blamed Trump
Pre meditated, cold blooded murder!
Absolutely disgraceful. Why hasn't this been highlighted more? Surely this is as bad as or even worse than what happened to George Floyd. These weren't even police.
Will people in their millions be taking a knee for Jack? Let's wait and see shall we?
So, decent citizens try to restrain a drugged-up piece of shite and are “judged” to be at fault? You could not make this up...
The riots will be starting in Minneapolis tonight..
So Tragic.💞 Contributory factors to his death likely a combination of spice drug on his system exacerbated by running as well as pressurised restraint on his chest x neck.CompassionateConstraint💞 is the way forward to safeguard people x de-escalate situs.
Where’s the riots ?
Unlawfully case. Glad to see Manchester police and the Cps doing a great job! How on earth they got released without charge, 4 men acting as they are the police and a man dies. Let’s hear what the Cps say now
Metrolink employees swallowed some big bollocks pills and thought they'd play at being RoboCop
the staff SHOULD NOT HAVE PUT THEIR HANDS ON HIM - they should be charged with manslaughter -
So calling stress related heart attacks brought on by drug users being detained and restrained “unlawful killings” is an international thing now I guess. Too bad they cant play up the racial angle for effect this time though. What a waste of a good potential riot.
