Family of black man tasered by police demand accountability and justice ahead of inquest into death
THE family of a black man who died after being tasered by police while experiencing a mental health crisis demanded accountability and justice today ahead of an inquest into his death.
Oladeji Omishore was tasered by police officers on Chelsea Bridge in London before he fell into the River Thames in June 2022.
The 41-year-old was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time. He was later pulled from the water but died in hospital the same day.
