Sickening moment police kill handcuffed dad-of-3 by 'throwing him around like a rag doll'

Shocking footage has captured the moment that police killed a dad-of-three after throwing him around like a "rag doll" in front of shocked hospital patients.

Brian Ringrose, 24, was initially seen by after they were called to Travelodge following reports of a domestic incident on January 27. He suffered from an overdose of his prescription medicine.

According to reports, he dropped down some stairs and "hit his head" before medics arrived. The dad of three was taken to hospital, where an Emergency Department doctor ordered him to stay at Milton Keynes University Hospital (MKUH) for six to 12 hours.

Sadly, the instructions were not written down on any of the notes, leading to what staff believe was a "premature" discharge. He was discharged into the care of the police and was set to be taken into custody.

As cops tried to take him into custody, they forcibly restrained him face down on the floor, in the middle of the A&E department. Solicitors for the Ringrose family said: "Hospital staff mistakenly informed police he had been discharged into their custody, with neither police nor hospital staff querying this even though Brian appeared semi-conscious and incapable of speech."

They stated that his arms were "forced backwards over his head" for the majority of the 25 minutes of being restrained, . Brian was placed into the police van, where officers realised he wasn't breathing. The 24-year-old was then taken back to hospital. He passed away a few days after the ordeal on February 2.

Footage released showed Brian PC Martyn Jones. A six-week inquest held last week concluded that the officer unlawfully killed Brian by manslaughter.

PC Jones was dismissed by the force following an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). He was not prosecuted for the crime. Another officer, PC Daniel Simson, was disciplined following the dad's death.

A Statement from Matthew Barber, Thames Valley PCC, said: “My thoughts remain with the family and friends of Mr Ringrose following his tragic death and in their quest for answers after a long and difficult .

“As a community, it is right that we entrust our police officers to use force appropriately in order to protect us all. The robust training that the has in place is important to reassure us all that any use of force in policing should always be proportionate, lawful, appropriate and necessary.

“The verdict concluded that Mr Ringrose’s death was a result of unlawful killing (unlawful act manslaughter) by a former Thames Valley Police officer, in contravention of Thames Valley policies, procedures and training. Recommendations from the IOPC investigation regarding those have already been put in place.

“The Force have rightly apologised to the family of Mr Ringrose for the tragic outcome. I am assured through continued liaison with the Chief Constable that Thames Valley Police trains its officers on the use of force to the highest standard to ensure officers are equipped to protect the public and themselves as they maintain order and uphold the law.

"I await the report from the Coroner following this inquest to understand any further learning for Thames Valley Police and will continue to hold the Chief Constable to account to ensure that any recommendations are implemented in full.”
