Suspect restrained with belt handcuffs after becoming violent in detention center, dies

Mmm! Sounds a bit fishy to me.

‘Wonder if there is any video of the events leading to this poor man’s demise

 said, "The detention was brief, and at this stage we believe our measures were appropriate.”

People died again in detention?

So nothing really change in Japan. No matter either foreigners

@sakurasiki

A comment which is pointless.

Maybe do some search to other countries prison systems.

@Albert

So you think people died during custody is acceptable for you, people life has no meaning at all?

An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death? any guesses?

saw one crossing the street , and he would not move over to let a cyclist pass although his group was walking 4 wide as usual, and the right side was blocked by a raised sidewalk type curb. The blocker's face was pure evillll, just looking to start some swine induced stuff. But cant touch these losers cause we dont want to catch a jn assault case.

It's a terrible thing to fall into the hands of their police station (detention centers)

Couldn't they have just put him in a cell until he calmed down?

same here.

yup

Japan should reconsider it’s detention system as many episodes evidently show abuse of human rights.

An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death

Let's see

@Albert--a comparison would show death in detention is even higher elsewhere. The Fort Worth, Texas, jail has had 65 deaths since 2017, or one death every 1 or 2 months. Hard to imagine Osaka jails having anywhere near that astronomical number.

mountainpear...

Couldn't they have just put him in a cell until he calmed down?

Couldn't he just stop being a violent criminal?

Well let’s see. Never went to court, so never had a chance to prove his innocence. Could have been self-defense, you never know. He wasn’t in prison, he was in a police station. So innocent until proven guilty. As for tying up somebody who is already stressed, probably highly agitated and has high blood pressure (if that is indeed true) What do you think is going to happen to his blood pressure? You don’t need a medical degree to figure that out. So yes..they probably killed him. If he had been left alone in a cell to calm down he would probably still be alive. And remember, even if he was guilty of assault under Japanese law, husbands can be arrested for assault for throwing the newspaper at their wife (and vice versa) in this country. They don’t deserve to die in a police station.
