Henry Nowak inquest...

[warey4life]

So the attacker was not handcuffed at all during the investigation and subsequent arrest, so you think it was so complex that they just decided to handcuff Henry as they had made their decision after listening to the words racist attack. It isn't complex at all, Henry pleaded with them to help him repeating that he had been stabbed, the police responce was "I don't think you have mate" without checking him. No excuses for this, disgraceful policing and this is not about right or left wing other than the Indian received better treatment in respect to what Henry received.

It's got bugger all to do with race or immigration either. The copper was negligent and complacent, and is not worthy of being a policeman.

You'll find it on the front page of the Sunday Times website, but a link isn't worth bothering with as it's paywalled.

(as I already explained, but I'm a good babysitter)

So copy and paste the article. You must have access to it if you've read it.

It is justified to discuss race, but it's wrong to say the killer was an immigrant wielding a knife, but I expect nothing less from a Reform type.

It isn't justified to exploit a violent murder to foment division in society.
Such people who choose to do so ignore the wishes of the grieving parents.
They've proven incapable of discussing such issues without using their racist propganda.

Not that is will make any differents to the Far-Right racist thugs who have taken over this forum, but this his how it was summed up by the excellent Ian Dunt in the i Paper, quoting the comments made by the judge at the time of sentencing.

"No one has anything kind to say about the police officers who attended to Henry Nowak on the evening he was stabbed, but it is worth reading the judge’s remarks. It does not necessarily absolve them from blame, but it places events in a context that a two-minute video cannot."

“The police were given a convincing but wholly false narrative of the incident. It was dark and Henry was wearing a dark top. The entry damage caused by the knife through it would not have been obvious …
“It is the experience of the criminal courts that sometimes someone arrested and handcuffed will feign an injury in the hope they may be released. These police officers were faced with having to make quick decisions in pressurised circumstances about the correct way to act.”

"These are the subtleties and complexities of a situation which looks much clearer now than it would have done at the time."

The copper was negligent and complacent, and is not worthy of being a policeman.

Because the copper was negligent and complacent.

Perhaps, perhaps not.
Given intoxicat'c post, it puts it into perspective.
