Death of Olaseni Lewis
... that British law was changed after the death of Olaseni Lewis, who was restrained by 11 police officers, so that British police must wear body cameras when dealing with vulnerable people?(source)

Nice article Sillyfolkboy! This is very appropriate right now and I would love to see this on the DYK. There are a few issues that need addressing before I can complete a review:
Good:
- New enough
- Long enough
- QPQ done
Needs work:
- There are no citations in the three-paragraph header
- Several of the prose is too close to the phrasing in the original sources: 59% Copyvio is not so great
Hook:
- The hook is interesting, neutral, and can be verified by three cited sources, but...
- I cannot find the phrase "vulnerable people" in any of the sources? This source and this source clarifies it as patients in mental health units as well as those on the autism spectrum and those with a learning disability. I actually think that the phrase "vulnerable people" is appropriate here but I am not sure we can use that in a hook if it is not stated as such in the sources. Perhaps a more advanced editor could give advice on the use of that phrase.
- The formatting of the hook is OK but seems a bit wordy and could perhaps be more succinct.

- ALT1: ... that after the death of Olaseni Lewis, who was restrained by 11 police officers, UK law was changed to require police to wear body cameras when dealing with vulnerable people? Yoninah (talk) 17:39, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, Yoninah! I like the formatting of the Alt hook
- Upon closer review I realize the high percentage of copyvio that was picked up is because of the actual quoted text so that is not actually an issue.
