Protesters in Southampton Demand Police Take a Knee For Henry Nowak, The Man They Murdered

Things are getting Mostly Peaceful.

Niall Ferguson @nfergus

"You are not likely to see Henry Nowak's words stenciled on a mural. No corporation will change its logo. The same establishment that made a few words immortal when spoken by a black man in Minneapolis has met the same words, spoken by a white boy dying on a British street, with what can only be described as a determined, institutional silence. That silence is not neutral. It is a statement. It tells you exactly whose suffering the system has decided counts, and whose does not."

"The system taught [the police], in effect, that an allegation of racism is a trump card that overrides normal investigative procedure, normal medical common sense, and normal human judgement. That system was built with the best of intentions, by people who genuinely wanted to address real injustices. And it has produced a policing culture in which a killer can stab a teenager five times, claim to be the victim of racism, and the police won't ask questions, until it's too late."

That's actually from Konstantin Kisin, writing here.

And now: "On your knees! On your knees! On your f***in' knees!"

The cops do not get on their knees, of course. That kind of respect is reserved for a bloated American drug addict and strong-arm robber who ate all of his drugs so that the police couldn't confiscate them, and died by his own hand.

Make Keir Starmer take the knee. Force him to kneel for Henry Nowak on camera.

He did it eagerly for George Floyd. Why will he not do it for Henry Nowak?
