🚨 GOOD MORNING BRITAIN: A 92 YEAR OLD PENSIONER WITH DEMENTIA WAS TASERED OVER A BUTTER KNIFE
I hope every single citizen in this country reads this story today and confronts what British policing has truly become.
Donald Burgess was a 92 year old amputee suffering from severe dementia, sitting completely unmoving in his wheelchair inside an East Sussex care home.
When he became agitated during a meal and held onto a dull butter knife, two police officers arrived and instantly escalated the situation into pure terror.
An inquest has heard that PC Stephen Smith and PC Rachel Comotto screamed at the elderly man, struck his arm with a metal baton, and emptied a full can of pepper spray directly into his face.
PC Comotto then fired a high voltage taser into the disabled pensioner's chest as he wept in agony and cried out that he was dying.
The 92 year old was handcuffed, dragged to a police station, rushed to hospital in medical distress, and died shortly afterwards from cardiac complications and trauma.
Medical testimony now confirms that the extreme physiological stress inflicted by those officers directly contributed to his death.
Yet both officers walked away cleared of assault charges, while Sussex Police dismissed the horrific timing of his death as a mere coincidence.
I watch British police officers dance at street carnivals, take the knee, and hand out cautions to violent gang members on our high streets.
Yet when confronted with a helpless, vulnerable pensioner trapped in a wheelchair, they deploy batons, chemical spray, and tasers with zero mercy.
I demand full public accountability for everyone involved, the immediate dismissal of those officers, and an end to a coward culture that abuses the vulnerable while running from real criminals.
Retweet this immediately so the memory of Donald Burgess is never buried by the establishment. 🇬🇧🔥
