I found the article in about two police officers shopping for food and ignoring a dying man, appalling (The Argus, July 9).

He should never have been taken to the police station.

He should have been given medical help where he was found. Police have no medical training.

Who decided he was drunk or drugged in the first place?

Sussex Police policy states that anyone found outside unconscious or semi-conscious should receive medical help as soon as possible.

Shame on them.
