Yeah probably should have checked, I wonder how often they get bullshit claims like that.

A long time. In the clip I saw, he had stopped responding, and they were starting to get the feeling that it might possibly be the case that it was not unlikely that there was an inkling of a chance that he might be injured. In case there are any racists taking this, thinking that they cared more about the guy who said he had been abused, they clearly couldn’t give a fuck about him either.

From the sentencing remarks as quoted in the FT:

Not seen it and I wouldn’t jump to assume race is the first thing the police go to. Far more likely to dismiss people causing them problems, which I kinda get but they do have a duty of care if they are holding someone with injuries and should check a claim like that.

He was handcuffed for about one minute before the police began CPR, according to the judge.

At night while not visibly bleeding past clothing and trying to work out what is going on with witnesses lying to the police, isn’t really that long.
