The point is that all of this happened after he fell ill, when he should've received medical attention as soon as the officer suspected he had swallowed drugs(Original post by Meany Pie)
A medic provided support before the ambulance arrived, I would guess that ambulances are protocol.

How do you know that? The BBC article doesn't say when the force medic arrived or at what point the ambulance was called.

"The Independent Police Complaints Commission, said Mr Charles “became unwell” and first aid was provided by a police officer, police medics and paramedics."

That still doesn't provide a timeline of events.

Brave decision, not so much because of the people you'd be dealing with (partly this of course), but the Tory cuts. Good luck! -

If it was that easy they would have done it.
If their duty was not to harm anyone they would never be able to do their job. So anyone that swallows something should just be left alone?

Exactly.
I'm a police officer - and when I read comments like the above, it really irritates me.
It is incredibly difficult to restrain someone who is resisting. Even with two, three, four officers. If someone doesn't want to comply - the officer is going to have a very difficult time trying to put handcuffs on.
Hence why you see videos of several officers gathered around individuals are resisting, and then you see them use lawful force - for example, strikes, to get them to comply. Then, you get the "police brutality" brigade.
Until you have been an officer and arrested individuals who are resisting, I'm sorry, but you really can't comment. I've had 50+ year old women who have been an absolute nightmare to try and control; compare that to young males with strength.
Anyway - in relation to the video -
Police are duty bound to save life and limb - this includes suspects. If a suspect swallows an unknown object - officers are duty bound to save life / limb. All the officer in this video has done is attempted to stop the suspect from coming to any harm. If he had swallowed it any died, everyone would be up in arms that the officer didn't take the object out of his mouth.
Police officers are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Sad -

Thanks. I'm sure I will enjoy the challenge.
It's a great job, you'll see different things every single day and the shifts will fly by.
However, be prepared for being worked into the ground for a pittance, and for 99% of the people you deal with to despise you.
Unfortunately, it seems that it's a completely thankless job nowadays. Yesterday's shift I had worked solidly for 8 hours without a break or a sit down. I grabbed some food from a takeaway, and a customer inside said: "Day off? You should be working." I quickly ate my food and back to it, finishing 2 hours late.
You've just got to let things like that go over your head and enjoy yourself :-) -

I need to get my CKP first. I've applied for it and I'm expecting a response by Monday next week.
I can't wait to begin! -

Update: An item removed from his airways was not a controlled substance, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has found. It did not reveal what the item was but said it was awaiting the preliminary results of a post-mortem examination, which was carried out on Monday. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.bbc...s/amp/40806597

He was a gangster and a drug-dealer who was arrested numerous times and only was getting away because of his links to organised crime. And tbh police wouldn't just go up to a person and shoot them dead unless they genuinely believe that the person presents a danger. Just like with Michael Brown, a lot for some reason side with criminals and not with those who protect decent people.
