					<description>He died of a lack of oxygen, “caused by a pressure on the (pulse blood vein) in his neck”

To really kill someone like that takes a few minutes.. (IF that person would calmly accept and not struggle, usually takes longer) it would be in no way police brutality.. or accident.. It can only be done on purpose.

I dunno the whole police thing sounds fishy... If he was &quot;accidentally&quot; shot.. or hit his head on a &quot;sharp/blunt object&quot;... mebe... but... being choked?</description>

					<description>Aftenposten, still quick and dirty:

A 28 year old police officer is charged for murder without intent on the man from Mysen, Tomasz Wacko, who died from damages he suffered when he was arrested on the fifth of June this year.
&quot;My client reacts strongly to this, and the charge came as a surprise to him, since we had asked for more investigation,&quot; says the officer's lawyer Jens-Ove Hagen.
Tor Erling Staff, who is the lawyer for Tomasz Wacko's family, means it is right to press charges. &quot;But the charge should have been stronger.&quot; (Sorry, I don't speak legalese, so those parts come out blurry. :P)

44 year old Tomasz Wacko died from lack of oxygen when he was arrested by the police, who had been called by Wacko's family because of house disorder the 5th of June this year. The family has explained that Wacko had calmed down by the time the police showed up.
The officer charged with murder has explained that he acted in self defence, and that he feared Wacko was going to strangle him with the cord on his communication radio.

State attorney Hans Jørgen Bender has sharpened the charge in accordance with the recommendation from SEFO, and says that the defendant could be stripped of his right to continue as a police officer.

The SEFO committee who investigated the incident concluded that the officer charged with murder knew that the grip he took around Wacko's neck could lead to choking. The committee also make it a point that the grip is not part of training at Police Academy.

Wacko was senior advisor for the Norwegian Helsingforscommittee, and came to Norway as a political refugee from Poland, where he was a member of Solidarity. He was imprisoned in Poland three years in all.

The case will be held at Heggen and Frøland court in Mysen, but it is unclear when the trial will begin.</description>

					<description>Dagbladet, quick and dirty:
The story of the norwegian-polish human rights worker Tomasz Wacko's death is tragic, no matter who is to blame: The police, himself, or the world out there. (Goes on to tell a bit of Wacko's life) Night to tuesday, june 3, the police moved to the house in Mysen. &quot;I've never seen him like this,&quot; said the nineteen year old daughter, who thinks that the police's behaviour brought out memories from her time in Poland. She called and asked for help from the same police hands that the preliminary autopsy report confirms took the life of Tomek. (more about Wacko) He died of a lack of oxygen, &quot;caused by a pressure on the (pulse blood vein) in his neck&quot;, at a hospital in Moss.</description>
