=—— an inquest has found neglect contributed to the death of leon briggs, who died in november 2013, after being restrained by police in luton. thejury said a number of serious failings had been made by both police officers, and ambulance workers. before the inquest began, paramedics had already admitted theirfailure, to check mr briggs�* vital signs, or take him to hospital for treatment. jon ironmonger has that story. leon briggs, a father of two, was gentle and generous, according to those who knew him. it's taken seven years to find out how he suddenly died. cctv released at the inquest captured him skipping down a high street, high on amphetamines, suffering a mental health crisis. he's brought to the ground by armed response officers and pinned for 13 minutes, just out of sight of the only camera recording. police said they didn't hold him in a dangerous prone position. but among a string of eyewitnesses, there was general agreement that leon was facedown on his front for most, if not all of his restraint. screams. leon was taken to luton police station, where again, he was restrained on the floor of a cell. custody sergeant grant waterman tries to get his attention. mr briggs? there is no response. the inquest found that he and others fail to notice that leon was a medical emergency, and leon dies around an hour later in hospital after officers finally raise the alarm. thejurors�* conclusions were highl critical and said officers had used inappropriate force. but leon's family had been hoping for an outcome of unlawful killing. i have been shocked by the utter disregard for his life as he lay dying on the police cell floor. why did the police choose to treat my son, who was mixed race, as if his life had no value? they took away his human rights. today, bedfordshire police admitted they were truly sorry, but leon's mother said it was an insult, and that their long campaign forjustice would continue. jon ironmonger, bbc news. now on bbc news, click. this week, a collection of collectables. but will pikachu trump this mega collage? is a tweet from the past the future of art? and will a midsummer nights dream become the nightmare in spandex? welcome to click! this week, we going to be talking about rare and collectible items. lara, you've been looking into something that's been getting a lot of hype recently, haven't you? i lot of hype recently, haven't ou? . . . lot of hype recently, haven't ou? ., . ., , ., you? i have, can you tell me what is the _ you? i have, can you tell me what is the most _ you? i have, can you tell me what is the most collectible l what is the most collectible item you have in your house? um... this shirt? i know, this thing. everyone is asking me about this online.— about this online. how about ou? i about this online. how about you? i managed _ about this online. how about you? i managed to _ about this online. how about you? i managed to get -
