British police officers using unreasonable force resulting in another murder again after restraining Neal Saunders for 75 minutes. Neal Saunders, 39, died on 3 September 2020 after he was restrained by Thames Valley police officers at his father’s home in Langley in Berkshire. “Police body cam footage shown at the inquest on Tuesday, Saunders was shown to be clearly agitated, and was repeatedly told by officers to calm down. He was then physically restrained by five officers on the floor by their body weight; one officer is heard saying to his colleague: “Get pressure on his legs while I take mine off ... put all of your weight on his legs.”
The footage also showed Saunders’ face to be positioned towards the ground a number of times.
Later in the footage, Saunders tells the officers “I can’t even breathe” several times. The officers continued to restrain him and he was not allowed to sit up when asked if he could.
Saunders then appeared to be unresponsive. One officer was captured saying: “He’s not chatty any more.” Shortly after, paramedics were called to the scene and Saunders was taken to hospital by ambulance, where he later died. He was restrained by the officers for a total of 75 minutes. The position in which Saunders was carried down to the ambulance may have also further obstructed his ability to breathe and contributed to the cardiac arrest he suffered shortly before his death.”
