Such a beautiful, dignified and impressive family. So sorry for this terrible loss and for all the years you had to spend fighting for justice for your brother.
Oh, good grief, nitpicking at its best. Alcoholics/addicts who are not drinking are said to be 'in recovery'. They just meant he was doing well at that time,taking his meds and not symptomatic.
Sickening behaviour by that group of thugs. Bad enough to suffer from a serious mental illness (about which he had no choice) but to have his life taken in such a horrendous way, is so unspeakable.
This case is a beacon of light in a dark landscape of injustice. The Menson family have rendered an immense service to all who expect the police to serve and protect us without prejudice.
I have just watched our Department of Justice report today on mistreatment of people with mental illness in Phoenix Arizona, USA. This was such inhumane of Michael, a man who struggled to reach his medical appt. I saw a light of warmth in his eyes. Surely I hope the music he loved embraces his family as time passes. He showed character and grace during his mental challenges as did his family on his behalf.
So sorry to Michael and his family. Such a no brainer that police must investigate situations before drawing a conclusion. How many people would set themselves on fire? This method of murder, setting a person on fire is torture, which makes the decision to not investigate, stupid! There was a police Supervisor who signed off on the officer's report of the incident with the conclusion not to investigate. Ultimately it is his/her fault, more than the officer's. That is why you are paid the bigger bucks-to assess and correct conclusions made by officers!!
@@cathybassett6432 Yes! I'm tired of the managers getting off for not managing and refocusing officers like they are supposed to be doing. Easy to sign off reports without even reading them!
Amen. The original officers and their supervisor failed Michael Menson and his family. They did not attempt to get a statement from Michael, they did not involve a psychiatrist, they did not involve a pathologist. Thank God Michael had his family to advocate for him.
The First Responders should have been fired. A man that's been set on fire and literally was just put out and he's mumbling incoherently is a sign of mental illness? Again, people should have been fired, but I know they weren't how do you ever have confidence in the police again?
23:15 Good that the case was reopened but if they hadnt been high profile family it wouldnt have happened.Plenty of other cases where police wouldnt look at cases a second time and change the outcome.
I don't see how the police could have initially thought he did it to himself. The mechanics of sel-infliction don't add up. If he did it to himself, wouldn't it make more sense that he would have poured the accelerant on top of his head and splashed down his front? The fact that he was burned on his back and buttocks without any head or frontal involvement just doesn't make sense. Sincerest condolences to his lovely family for their loss.💐
How's he set himself alight without a container of flammable liquid around?! It's extraordinary how blinkered and stupid police can be sometimes yet how intuitive and perceptive in other cases. Without his family agitating for justice for Michael this would have just been written off as a suicide...a most unlikely incident.
God save us from hate crime. I am more depressed by this documentary than by any I’ve ever read about. These perpetrators had no knowledge of this victim. He was in the wrong area through no fault of his own.
This show bothers me on several levels. They have "champion" music in the background, for what is now, an incredible opportunity for the police force to CHANGE..... huh what?!?!? How come the police force wasn't doin' that s💩 from the beginning!?!?! And I mean this in the nicest possible way. What's it called when one wants to put a positive spin on something really crappy? ☮️💖🌻
He was an outpatient in "a residential home looking after himself." WTF ?? A "residential home" is meant to be caregivers helping people not safe to live alone -- but he was sent out alone at night? His illness had been profound, and could recur. That posh family could afford deluxe care. These aren't symptoms that the general public could be expected to understand and assist well with. Tragic.
The police can’t win. On the surface,the incident seemed self-inflicted because his mental illness made it plausible. Obviously, the original police investigators were very inexperienced. Although, many wished to frame this as police not caring about a black man, it was his mental illness that made them believe it was suicide, not his race. i am sorry for his pain and suffering.
Of Michael's "Family", ....WHO was Caring for him. A home,meals,baths,Drives to Doctor Appointments 😢???? You Cannot Speak on someone you Abandoned to This Evil World,..you Cant " Care" ...AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN MURDERED 😢😢😢

You've got to be joking
@@projectionv.accountability1010another 🤡 making comments!
“Michael is in recovery.” You don’t recover from schizophrenia.
Oh, good grief, nitpicking at its best. Alcoholics/addicts who are not drinking are said to be 'in recovery'. They just meant he was doing well at that time,taking his meds and not symptomatic.
14 years is wholly inadequate.

Why would he set fire to himself from the back. Doesn’t make sense.
🙏 RIP MICHAEL MENSON 🙏
Condolences to your family and friends. ✝️😢😥

Every officer has the responsibility to investigate. Certainly the supervisor signing off was BS but the officers bare responsibility as well.

I'm so sorry for that man, and what a loving, resourceful he had... R. I. P.... Michael....
Classy family!! Glad they persisted in finding the truth!!
How sad is it that it took such a horrific event to redirect police investigations to where they should have been to begin with.😢
23:15 Good that the case was reopened but if they hadnt been high profile family it wouldnt have happened.Plenty of other cases where police wouldnt look at cases a second time and change the outcome.
Laughing about it afterwards is what gets me wilding. No remorse. Disgusting
Good looking family...bless them

Did u miss the part where he was awake and spoke to his brother before he passed and told them he was attacked and the cops dismissed it?
What was Pereira's problem with colour?? He's dark himself! And the one in Northern Cyprus is Turkish - that's hardly white!
Self hate is a thing
Humm!!
What did the cops get ,Condolences to his family ❤
What are you trying to say? You know that commas and question marks are not interchangeable, right?
@@projectionv.accountability1010 What are you saying bloke
And they were not really white were they… they were coloured
Clear manipulation of the viewer.
Dont like this new format at all about scotland yard, rather the other short stories, will be UN subscribing until I see the other stories.
Of Michael's "Family", ....WHO was Caring for him. A home,meals,baths,Drives to Doctor Appointments 😢???? You Cannot Speak on someone you Abandoned to This Evil World,..you Cant " Care" ...AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN MURDERED 😢😢😢
THANK YOU. It's about time someone said something reasonable. I was about to lose my damn mind at these comments....
That’s such bs. The killers are the only people responsible for Michael’s death. Victim bashing is sickening
That family really figured out how to be the victims. Ridiculous.
What is wrong with yte peiple??? I just don't get it -- just because he was Black?!?!?
White people didn’t kill him. They were a Latino and a Greek man. Sorry.
Do those all look like white people? Dont be dumb. They look like some type of ethnic russian ethnicities
???world leader in crime investigation - you must be joking cant see beyond your nose, yes life is getting better every year you don't say
Ball of confusion!
