Cop says sorry to Fakir's family, police for saying 'if he croaks we'll have fun'

A police officer involved in the death of Abderrahim Fakir in Bologna apologized for inappropriate comments made during the incident. Fakir, who was under the influence of cocaine and suffered from mental illness, died after being restrained by police. The officers face manslaughter charges, with prosecutors citing extreme agitation and cocaine intoxication as contributing factors to his death. Experts noted that medical response issues were present, but even with timely intervention, Fakir's survival chances were only about 15%. This case draws parallels to a previous incident involving Riccardo Magherini, for which Italy was condemned by the European Court of Human Rights.
