“accused of” because the least extreme of the country’s far right basically called for riots (he said “pure cold rage”).

They’re all frothing at the mouth over a document which was never widely distributed because it said “you can’t just treat everyone the same”. That’s it, that, plus this death, are what they have to go on for riots.

They’d have you believe that British police never racially profiled anyone for stop&search, never failed to investigate crimes against black people, never had any people with dark skin die in custody.

And it makes me despair because the facts just so not fucking matter to the people who riot and vote over this stuff. Yeah, failing to identify a stab wound on someone who’s telling you they’ve been stabbed is pretty fucking shocking but too many people just don’t care about facts and I have no idea what we can do about it. The left wing seems mostly to want to call them racist even harder, which I’m sure will do the trick…

In upsetting bodycam footage released by Hampshire Police, Nowak pleaded with officers saying, “I can’t breathe” and “I’ve been stabbed.” An officer replied, “I don’t think you have, mate.”

Well what the fuck
