The whole the article is incredibly damning

Yeah, like this part:

On the first day of the inquest, the lawyer for the other male officer, Officer A, asked that he be excused from giving evidence due to a serious mental health condition.

WTF? If he had a "serious mental health condition," why the Hell was he working as a cop?!
