Summary:

police arrived and listened aggressor's side of story... believed that he was attacked by man lying on the ground
Cops declared that the stabbed man was the aggressor, cuffed him, read him his rights, and dragged him along the ground seemingly unaware that victim was stabbed and bleeding.

witness said "he's been stabbed", Victim said "ive been stabbed" Cop replied "I don't think you have been mate".

victim said "I can't breathe" 4 times, said "ive been stabbed" 9 times

victim died.
