Asked if she thinks it would have been different if Mr Hall had been white, Ms Dyer said: 'Yes. I believed it. I believe he was judged on that. I really do.'
She added: 'All they see is a black man, as they've done in court, they've mentioned his size.
'They tried to make him out to be a big black man, that they're all scared of. He was just a regular guy, he was a family man.'
..finds himself unaccountably in a struggle with police. What could possibly have lead to this?
Mr Hall, from Dalton, was originally taken to the hospital in September 2016 after consuming a large amount of alcohol and prescribed drugs, the inquest heard.
But he was arrested and taken to the police station after slapping a nurse during a medical examination.
Assistant coroner Oliver Longstaff told the jury at the opening of the inquest that Mr Hall was initially co-operative in the cells but, after a nurse began assessing his condition, a 'violent struggle' ensued, with a number of officers attempting to restrain him.
Ah.
Mr Hall was eventually double-handcuffed and put in leg restraints before being taken back to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, where he was examined lying face down on a trolley, restrained by several police.
The coroner told the jury: 'Andrew was still struggling. At this point Andrew was seen to be sweating profusely, spitting and screaming for help, shouting 'They're killing me'.
'Mr Hall went into cardiac arrest after he was sedated, and could not be resuscitated.
Well, there you go, folks! Don't take drugs and alcohol. The jury clearly made the right choice.
The force said: 'The independent IOPC (Independent Office for Police Conduct) investigation found no basis to suggest misconduct by any officer or staff member.
'West Yorkshire Police supports the actions of each officer and staff member throughout Mr Hall's detention, which was a particularly challenging and demanding situation for everyone involved.
'The jury found the actions of each to be appropriate and justified at the conclusion of some eight weeks of evidence.'
So that's your answer, Ms Dyer. Maybe tell your next squeeze not to mix drugs and alcohol, eh? No matter what race he might be...
See how different this is to the Floyd/Chauvin case. Chauvin has been handed what is effectively a death sentence for freeing the world of a scumbag. Here in the UK we have got the right verdict.
ReplyDeleteI wonder is the station carrying the interview is any relation to the Channel 4 that spends it's time tut-tutting about 'inflammatory right wing rhetoric'?
ReplyDeleteSurely not?
It's the perfect microcosm of the modern left. They preach about 'our NHS' but when it comes to specific acts of violence against an actual nurse? Whatever, you guys! Who amongst us has not given a nurse a slap?
“ What could possibly have lead to this? ”

Until these snowflakes have actually had a fight with a huge man off his face they should shut up. I watch TV programmes where the hero grabs a suspect and he immediately puts his hands behind his back to be cuffed and it looks easy. Let me assure you it isn't.

The rest of us might fart rainbows should we also attain WC Jaded's level of talent and sophistication.

ReplyDeleteAgreed!
"I wonder is the station carrying the interview is any relation to the Channel 4 that spends it's time tut-tutting about 'inflammatory right wing rhetoric'?"
Even if there's no direct link, they are all sisters under the skin.

The most violent thing most of these media types have ever been involved in is a queue at Waitrose that's getting ready to start tutting loudly when the store manager is a minute late opening the doors...
Well who would have thought it? Being black is no defense against drugs and alcohol, maybe we are all the same under the skin after all.
