THREE Metropolitan Police officers are facing disciplinary action over the death of a black man they restrained who told them “I can’t breathe” and “I’m going to die.”
But the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IOPC), which ordered the disciplinary action, has decided not to pursue criminal prosecution.
Kevin Clarke, 35, was suffering a mental health crisis when he died following restraint by nine police officers in Lewisham in South London on March 9, 2018.
