Henry Nowak - just watched the video for the first time

[EvangelicalAboutButteredToast]

I don’t understand how the officers could not tell he had been stabbed. He repeatedly says he can’t breathe and when he says he has been stabbed, they say, ‘I don’t think so mate.’ When he says it again they ask where and he says his face, they then roll him over so they can look at his face, and the video ends with the officer saying the handcuffed victim was likely going to be sick.

i completely understand the officers went there having been told a lie and you see the perpetrator on the video retelling the lie and claiming he’d been a victim of a racist assault, i just can’t understand how the officers didn’t recognise the guy on the floor was dying.

It hasn’t been used for murder. He was not allowed to legally carry the knife used for the murder. It was longer than the knife Sikhs carry for religious purposes.

Racist rhetoric the other way isn’t going to help either.

Yes, there was a guy on LBC talking to Tom Swarbrick about kids in his daughter's school being permitted to carry knives. Apparently religion trumps safety.

They are still allowed to carry knives though.

But it is a problem NOW.

The knife he was carrying was 8 inches long. If any other person in this country was caught walking around with an 8 inch blade on their person they would be arrested.

Unfortunately, this case shows that NOBODY regardless of religion or culture should be carrying a knife in this country.

Since the Macpherson report the police have been repeatedly told they are racist and part of a racist institution. They receive DEI training annually and are told if someone says an incident is racist, even if via a third party they have to treat it as such no questions asked. Senior officers scrutinise any racist incidents daily and if an officer has been deemed not to have dealt with it correctly they are hauled over the coals. That is the culture officers are working in and I totally get why the officers responding to this scene acted as they did.

I can't answer your question, but they should lose their pensions.

I have seen the video. You might also want to read the sentencing remarks which said that the police were fed a false but convincing story at the scene and the judge noted that it is very common for people to pretend they are injured when arrested so the police actions have to be viewed in this context. There was no criticism of the police in the sentencing by the judge, who will have viewed all the evidence in the trial.

You totally get why they ignored a dying man stating he had been stabbed?

It isnt a problem now because the knife he used was just a knife.

I couldn't bear to watch more than a few seconds of the video footage. 😢

I have no idea how his father maintained his dignified composure during his statement outside the court.

Accusations of racism are treated like some deep stain on a white person's soul. It should never be treated as worse than murder, rape, abuse of children and animals, or a myriad of other awful acts. Yet so many people's minds have been warped by indoctrination and propaganda for decades. There's a deep asymmetry as these accusations are hurled against white people so the establishment and vindictive people of minority backgrounds can then treat them as less worthy. This has to end.

The court judgement and media were at pains to clarify Henry Nowak didn't say anything racist. As if what happened to him would be justified or understandable on some level if he did.

But I would say that even if he did say something racist, it does not justify being stabbed to death.

On a slightly different tangent, the sentencing remarks reveal some very interesting aspects of the case and background. It's not long so I would encourage folks to read it.

As they have for the hundreds of years they've been in the UK.

Yes, that was shocking. What a coward! She needs to face accountability along with the other two officers and not be allowed to run away from it. Pathetic.

They never said he didnt say anything racist. They dont know. They actually said onky the victim and the perpetrator knows what happened. Murder isn't a valid response to racism irrespective of what he said. That is the point.

I give up. I despair. Do you think the police officers acted correctly?

Ok, but if he hadn't been 'lawfully' allowed to carry a knife then perhaps Henry Nowak would still be alive ?

It was desperately upsetting to watch. I cannot even begin to imagine how his parents, family and friends would have felt upon seeing the footage.

That murderous piece of shit should be locked up for life. No parole. Ever.

Well maybe it's time to change the law

Ok, but if he hadn't been 'lawfully' allowed to carry a knife then perhaps Henry Nowak would still be alive ?

Everyone should force themselves to watch this video, especially if you had strong feelings about the George Floyd incident.

If by its silence the government condones this incident and those officers aren't put in prison, the country is going to erupt in anger. And it would be justified.

This government and all the woke idiots need a massive kick up the arse.

He wasnt lawfully carrying a knife. He tried to say he was.

Why do you say "any other person? If the perpetrator or indeed any Sikh man were caught walking around with an 8 inch blade they would be arrested, because it is illegal for anyone, including Sikhs, to do so.

Exactly. He was clearly compromised, clearly in extremis . He wasn't agitated he wasn't being combative.

I hope all the police involved are sacked. Yes of course they were fed a 'racist attack' story but one look at poor Henry on the floor should've made it clear who was the victim.

Absolutely sickening and tragic. His poor family. How on earth theyll cope with losing their dc so horrifically while some stupid plods actually handcuffed him I've no idea.

It's irrelevant, as he wasn't lawfully carrying the knife he used.

Well put.
