On extremely rare occasions Mikey was prone to bouts of depression, and 
during an episode the Police were called. Mikey was arrested outside his 
mother's house in Lozells Birmingham. Whilst in Police Custody in 
Handsworth, Birmingham on September 7th 2003, Mikey died at the hands of 
West Midlands Police.

'This is what happened. Officers drove a police car at Mikey, hitting 
him, beat him with batons, CS gassed him, restrained him and, knowing he 
was injured, and drove him to a police station not a hospital. At the 
police station the officers simply did not call for an
ambulance for over 4 minutes. Mikey was dead by the time it arrived.'

His family and friends continue the campaign for justice.

Injustice' documents the horrific loss of life at the hands of the State 
and it's attempts to cover up these killings. The British Police have 
been responsible for hundreds of these deaths and not one of them has 
ever been prosecuted.

'Injustice' is a blow by blow account of the relentless struggles of 
bereaved families as they discover how they lost their loved ones in 
extremely violent deaths at the hands of the Police.

'Injustice' has won many film awards including winner of the Best 
Documentary of the bfm International Film Festival in 2002 and Winner of 
the Best Film on Human Rights at the One World International Film 
Festival in 2002.
