    How long did it take them to realise that he was injured?

    He was handcuffed for about one minute before the police began CPR, according to the judge.

      At night while not visibly bleeding past clothing and trying to work out what is going on with witnesses lying to the police, isn’t really that long.

        Yeah. Unfortunately it is a long time when you’re bleeding to death. It’s possible he’d have died even with immediate first aid because you really don’t have that long once you’re bleeding from a major artery.

        I think this shows the police need to change their practice when it comes to how they treat suspects, though, especially those under restraint.
