UK is having its "I can't breathe moment". on release of video of cops cuffing dying white man, reading him his rights

Killing happened in December, Killer sentenced this week and video of event just released.

Video caused a firestorm over race, religion (Sikh's carry their traditional knives), but mostly animosity towards the cops.

Summary:

man was stabbed multiple times by an unhinged individual.
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.

Not that I believe they give a shit about him or his family … except to start race riots.

The Sikh killer of Henry Nowak today appeared in court with his brother and father - all charged with possessing an arsenal of weapons including batons, flick knives, machetes, swords and an axe.

Vickrum Digwa, 23, who was jailed for life yesterday for murdering the 18-year-old student, has now been charged with possessing six offensive weapons at home in Southampton.

Digwa's brother, 27-year-old Gurpreet Digwa, and his father, 52-year-old Moga Singh, have also been charged with possessing illegal weapons at the family home.

Vickrum's mother, Kiran Kaur, awaits sentencing for assisting an offender by taking the knife used to kill the 18-year-old in Southampton back to the nearby family home.

But it's not just their fault. The weirdo, stupid politicians who can even consider the absurd idea of "religious knives" being a thing need to be ousted. They're worse than morons. They're the 120 IQ, dangerous nitwits with the ability to create complex syntax with asinine semantics.

Patient merit is losing its patience.
