After nearly three years, the inquest into Deji’s death has begun. Deji’s death must shine a light on critical issues, particularly policing mental health crises. No one else should have to suffer this pain. #JusticeforDeji

Deji was extremely vulnerable and required urgent medical care. The inquest must expose how they failed to see Deji’s severe illness - and failed to respond proportionately. Mental illness and physical appearance should not have been his death sentence. #JusticeforDeji

- Taser was drawn before the officers before they even left the car - They claim they kept Tasering, rather than restraining, because of Deji’s height and frame - Nobody told any emergency services or his family he’d been Tasered before he drowned

INQUEST OF OLADEJI OMISHORE: We have learned that: - Deji was in severe mental health crisis - Many members of public saw he was unwell & threatening nobody - Officer Tasered him multiple times, despite his distress - Officers claim they saw a terror threat, not mental health

The second ‘To Catch a Copper’ is out tonight, at 9pm, on Ch 4. A straight no chaser episode proving snide cowardly coppers cannot be policed by their colleagues. Covering racism, without the usual copaganda, it’s another tough but mandatory watch.
