Why the outrage? Prisoners die in custody all the time - in civilian police stations all across our oh so civilized western world. They aren't facing "inhumane torture" they are slapped in the nick high on booze, drugs or just plain out of control angry. I don't see any of the outrage bus riders here going off at that when it happens. Why would that be? Perhaps because you understand the intent of the police officers was not to kill but to simply do their job.
Those with a clue will understand who the II Squadron lads most probably were. They are very professional, highly trained men. They do not apply more force than necessary so they can get their jollies. They try to do their job. If the man's legs fell of because he was struggling, (why would you struggle if you're an innocent cripple?), then what better way to restrain him with minimum force than not give him his legs back????
If the dead man had had an operation recently kindly explain how the Rocks could have known that in the dark and the noise in the back of a Chinook with 64 prisoners to deal with. Even if he was healthy he had clearly made sufficient of a spectacle of himself to be treated more firmly.
As to the MoD and their "stalling"... It's quite possible that, (for once - I'm no great fan of the MoD), they saw this for what it was - an accidental death - and tried to prevent it from becoming what it is now, an over sensationalized news piece for the Media to profit from.
There's many worse things that have occurred from both sides but, right now, they aren't available to sell papers. Time to park the bus and go home. This is a non-story.
