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

Imagine employing more racists than you actually arrest… https://t.co/VKnalIdvnM
RACIST @metpoliceuk PC CONNOR JONES FINALLY FACES GROSS MISCONDUCT HEARING
Jones threatened Jamar Powell, only 16 at the time, that a 50,000-volt stun gun would be deployed in Sep 2020 as he kept the taser pressed against his neck!
"He has gone... my brother has gone to join our father. Pray for him, and please don't cry."
A brave young girl fights her tears to console her brother.
Just a tiny number of the things we owned and the recent Tories sold off
If I went back to 1980 and gave you the full list you’d feel sick about it
None of us gained a thing except the super rich
Inequality through the roof.
