Bodycam video shows moments before Moroccan died while being restrained by cops
A new video regarding the case of Abderrahim Fakir, a 42-year-old Moroccan man who died while being restrained by police in Bologna on Sunday, shows what happened before the two officers intervened. In the footage from one of the police officer's bodycam shown on Rai's Tg1 news on Thursday, the officer's hands can be seen on both Fakir and another man wearing a white T-shirt with whom Fakir had come into contact. Law enforcement had been called to intervene in Bologna's Pilastro quarter because Fakir was suffering from a "psychiatric crisis" and was disturbing the peace and acting erratically, according to initial findings by investigators, sources said.
