Subject: RE: BS: Deaf man shot dead by US cop
The lad was callled Ethan and had Downs syndrome. He was actually in the cinema foyer with his 'aide' (carer, I assume). He had wanted to see the film again as he'd liked it so much. Instead of leaving the cinema, he was trying to purchase another ticket on his mobile phone, and getting very agitated. His mother was at home. The Police didn't actually shoot him, but over-restrained him with 3 sets of handcuffs and compressed his larynx, crushing it. He died of asphyxia.
