Brian Temple of Redcar, England, was 34 when he was hanged in December 2017. Six months earlier, he had been arrested by Cleveland police in the North of England for allegedly stealing a package of Greggs sausages, according to local news site TeessideLive. But when Temple was released, his release documents incorrectly stated that he was being held for inciting sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl. This comes after the Royal United Services Institute released “Public Confidence in the Police: A New Low for the Service”, which says public trust in the police fell from 62 percent in 2017 when it happened to 55 percent. one hundred in 2020. A serious mistake by the police led a man in the UK to despair and end his life, family members said in an investigation on Monday.

Mixing leads to attacks
Unaware of the mistake, the man gave the documents to his then girlfriend. According to witnesses who spoke at the Teesside medical court on Monday, the Temple girl went on to spread the false information. As a result, he allegedly suffered verbal and physical abuse, including a blow to the head with a golf club and an attack on his own home. Accounts from family members in the interrogation described how he fell into heavy drinking and drug use. A medical examiner said the toxicology report found 134 milligrams of alcohol in addition to a cocktail of cocaine, diazepam, zopiclone and pregablin in his system when he died, although his death was caused by hanging. Temple’s mother, who has since died, described him in a statement as “happy” before the police’s mistake. His brother also said he had never had suicidal tendencies in the past and took drugs to deal with the attacks and assaults that led to his death. According to Temple’s sister-in-law, the wrong bill was found in his pocket at the time of his death. Cleveland Police Detective Sergeant Agar told investigators the leaflet was “a real human error.” Mistakes by police in the United States have led to high-profile tragedies in recent months. In Uvalde, Texas, police are investigating by state and federal law enforcement following widespread criticism of the handling of mass shootings at Rob Elementary School on May 24. The gunman was at the school for more than an hour before being shot and killed by U.S. Border Patrol. Meanwhile, a report published by LatinoJustice in April found that New York Police Department (NYPD) officers arrested for lying about misconduct often avoided disciplinary action by the department. Controlled misconduct included the use of excessive force, abuse of power, obscene and offensive language. And during the media frenzy over Gabby Petito’s murder last year, police in North Port Florida fired after misunderstanding the killer’s mother with the killer himself – Petito’s fiancé – Bryan their house. Newsweek contacted Cleveland Police for comment.
