A police officer will not face charges over the death of Rashan Charles, a young black man who died after a police pursuit in London, the Crown Prosecution Service has announced.
A common assault charge had been considered against the Metropolitan policeofficer in connection with the 20-year-old’s death on 22 July 2017 after he was apprehended by police in Dalston, east London.
Despite two postmortems and a series of toxicology tests, the exact cause of Charles’s death remains unknown, with a coroner’s inquest not scheduled until 4 June this year due to a continuing investigation into the officer by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
A CPS spokeswoman said on Sunday: “Following the death of Rashan Charles in July 2017, the Independent Office for Police Conduct referred a file of evidence in relation to one Metropolitan police officer for a possible charge of common assault.
“The CPS has considered the matter and decided the evidential test for a prosecution for common assault is not met. We will therefore not be taking any further action regarding this offence.”
A preliminary IPCC investigation last year found that after Charles had been detained attempts were made to remove an object from his mouth or throat. It was later revealed that a package extracted from his body contained a mixture of caffeine and paracetamol.
The officer who apprehended Charles is under investigation by the IPCC for gross misconduct for the restraint and his handling of the subsequent medical emergency, which could result in dismissal from the Met.
The police complaints body is expected to provide an update on its investigation this week.
The Met said it would not comment on the CPS decision.
Charles’s death sparked violent street protests in east London, with threats made against police and demonstrators throwing fireworks and bottles at riot officers.
At a pre-inquest review in November, all officers involved in the death were granted anonymity, despite the coroner, Mary Hassell, rejecting claims there was a “direct threat to officers’ lives”.
Bullshit. But whose surprised? They’ve waited til it’s calmed down to inform us nothing will be done about it.
Murdering filth get away with it as always

i haven’t posted about this on tumblr yet, just facebook. a kid in my little brother’s class died during gym class. if you google it, it says he passed out for “no reason”. it’s a lie.
our family has personally had a problem with the gym teacher. my little brother has asthma and is made to bring his asthma pump every gym day because of how hard she pushes the kids. you’re made to do four laps, and if you can’t make it, you’re made to do four more. in this case, kamarr couldn’t do four.. so he was made to do eight. he couldn’t do eight.. so he was made to do twelve. you’re not allowed to take a break or get water. we live in south florida. it’s HOT. he passed out and pretty much died in front of all the kids.
when police arrived, they interviewed the kids (my brother included) and the kids told them he was doing extra laps for punishment. the school said “that’s absolutely not true”. again, IT’S A LIE. my mom has been complaining about the gym teacher FOR MONTHS. her complaints fell on deaf ears and now a child is dead. she’s also still my brother’s gym teacher. she should be in jail im
but here’s the gofundme to cover funeral expenses. we’re trying to figure out a way to get our voices heard for this family because the school is trying to save face and basically lie to them. if y’all got any ideas let me know. #ripkamarrscott

Preventable Death: Grilled Cheese
If you are told a child in your care has a severe food allergy, believe them. Don’t kill a three-year-old with a grilled cheese sandwich.
According to his parents, staff at the preschool knew about his severe dairy allergy, but an adult gave him the cheese sandwich anyway. He ate it, went into anaphylactic shock, and died in the emergency room. No word on whether they gave him epinephrine. (New…
Horrific.
Why is this so vague? Why does it need to be “investigated to see what went wrong and what might have been done differently?” The person who gave him the allergen knew he had the allergy and gave it to him anyway. Why not ask them what the fuck they were thinking?

Freezing mum died alone ‘wrapped in coat at home after benefits were stopped’
“Elaine was deemed not ill enough for ESA [Employment and Support Allowance]. Had her benefits stopped numerous times, which in turn stopped her housing benefit.
“No income but expected to be able to pay full rent. Was told being in intensive care was not sufficient reason for failing to attend a universal credit interview.
“I went to the job centre to inform them that she couldn’t attend. But benefits stopped again.
“Uncaring housing taking her to court. She’s due to go to court on Monday. Is being dead now enough reason? Is that what’s had to happen to prove she was ill?
“How many people have got to die before this government realises they are killing vulnerable people??
The Government knows but doesn’t care. Which is why they need to go.
this is class warfare
This government’s treatment of disabled people was declared by the UN to be a “human catastrophe” and violation of human rights and not a damned thing was done to reform the system since then.

Family of Teen Fatally Shot by Officer Speaks Out
“He was just a kid outside,” cousin Christian Delgado said.
The 14-year-old, identified by family as Jason Pero attended Ashland Middle School. Pero was in the school band and a member of the Native American Club. Classmates tell FOX21 Pero will be remembered for his great sense of humor. One family member Christian Delgado, describes Pero as harmless.
“Just kept to himself, didn’t bother anyone, really good,” Delgado said. “Just wouldn’t hurt a fly.”
The loss of the 14-year-old boy has truly shaken the community. A vigil has been set up, near the area where the shooting happened. The incident was addressed at school, the day after the shooting. Grievance councilors were on hand for students.
The superintendent tells FOX21 it’s hard to answer questions from students right now, because there are so many unknowns this early in the investigation.
“There wasn’t a dry eye in the place; boys, girls, it didn’t matter,” Ashland superintendent Keith Hiltz said. “There’s a deep hurt there and a lot of anger a lot of confusion how a 14-year-old boy could be involved in a police shooting.”
Meanwhile authorities did recover a knife at the scene.
Delgado believes Pero was unarmed and describes what a neighbor saw.
“He just came outside and just saw Jason laying there. He told the cops ‘what are you doing put your gun away,’ the cop wouldn’t listen, he was just still freaking out about it,” Delgado said. “They’re trained to not handle situations like that, I mean the last person Jason would have hurt, was somebody sticking up for him.”
Donations for the Pero family can be mailed to:
