David Dungay died after telling five Australian police officers that he could not breathe while being restrained

Mon 16 Jul 2018 02.46 EDT

Shocking video footage of the death in custody of an Indigenous Australian man has been aired in court for the first time, depicting five officers restraining a man who said 12 times that he could not breathe.

David Dungay Jr died in 2016 while he was being held down by officers in a Sydney jail.

An insulin-dependent diabetic, 26-year-old Dungay had been eating biscuits. Prison officers told him to stop and, after giving him a minute to comply, stormed his cell, restrained him face down and handcuffed him.

Members of Dungay’s family left the room when the footage was shown at the inquest into his death, which began on Monday in Sydney.

Of course you're going in with "low" expectations, Don Boy; you'll be on your knees for most of the meeting.

Is the Entire Country now Free of Friday the 13th?

I've checked the time zones in all 50 states, but what of American Samoa? What of Guam? My server has been slow all night, thus preventing me from accessing the current time in outlying territories, yet another result of the accursed day hopefully now past us ALL!
