I strongly doubt that Floyd was the sole or even biggest influence there. The murder of Stephen Lawrence shone a light on the behaviour of police towards minority groups, but there are many other examples in the past as well. 

 

Don't get me wrong, the procedure clearly went horribly wrong here, but as I said before, balance is both difficult and imperative on this matter and there are far too many voices apparently clamouring for the pendulum to swing way back in the opposite direction. 

The Floyd case was definitely a factor in my view. Kemi Badenoch spoke very well I thought  on the Good Morning Britain interview.

That policy was made as a result of the George Floyd case in a foreign country with a completely different form of policing seems very odd to me. 

Doesn't help when you see the leader of the opposition on his knee in a bid to win votes.

Can you really blame them if it had been a case of racism they would have been vilified in the media with demands for them to be sacked which they're getting anyway from the opposing point of view. We're looking like we've going from institutional racism to believing it's always that for fear of being wrong.

 

It's a lose / lose situation which is happening in most spheres of life due to the constant media clamour of righteousness and for punishment.

 

Everyone knows best.

The Pakistani grooming/rape gangs investigations blew this out into the open. Seems that nothing had been learned.

 

We have violent agitators just waiting to stir up trouble at the slightest hint of police racism.

As someone else has said, it is political manipulation over a long period of time that meant the police officers automatically sided with the minority in fear of being called racist, as opposed to being impartial and doing their job. 

But unless I’ve read it wrong, it’s not a racially motivated murder, it’s just a lunatic that likes violence? 
 

the defence of that officer is that he thought everyone there was pissed up and it wasn’t a big issue. Idk you hear Tommy Robinson talking about how Sikh people are sound. Your regular EDL marcher loves Sikh people but hey Nigel and Suella see it as a political opportunity to slag off the browns and consolidate their vote.  

[Vindaloo FOX]

This murder has really shook me up,

 

I wish we could know what was said between both young men before the stabbing, I'm guessing some racist remarks were probably thrown back and forth before the Sikh lad saw red.

 

Why are young men in 2026 turning on each other like this so easily, what are they seeing and reading on their 24 hours media device the mobile phone to make them fear the common man of another race or relgion.

 

Why do they want us to fear each other ? 

 

This death will divide the country more.

 

And the police officers were pathetic but again I think they felt fear, you will make mistakes under fear, they made a devastating one.

 

 

R.I.P Henry

[StanSP]

Farage has come out and said what happened to Henry should be met with 'pure cold rage'. 

 

What kind of comment or statement is that? Hate never wins over hate. Violence never wins over violence. It just causes more pain. 

 

It begs the question does he see this as an opportunity to peddle more 'incitement' or actually find a way of tackling the problems in society. Cold rage doesn't cut it any more.

That does seem to be the case but the lunatic immediately and successfully used the racism accusation to distract the police officers. Even family members were shouting 'racist' from the public gallery as the judge read out his closing statement.

[Raj]

Digwa gave the knife to his mother and it was later found by police at their family home along with more than 20 other weapons.

The Sikh Federation said the blade used by Digwa was not a religious knife, known as a kirpan.

 

Digwa is a **** and it was a matter of time he did something like this unfortunately the SIkh name has been tarnished.

I know I've already mentioned but Kemi Badenoch for me has a much healthier and responsible response in her interview.

But even if brown person has used that to excuse his behaviour in the short term, it doesn’t mean that racism doesn’t exist, rather that he’s evil for thinking that? (Not a critique at you rather the whole situation).

It really shouldn't be. People that follow the Sikh religeon have rightly and swiftly called it out.

Absolutely, but I don't think anyone should pretend the system hasn't needed changing in this regard given events in the past in the UK alone.

This. It's straight out of the playbook of his master.

As long as there are those who want and advocate for enclaved ethnostates and they have enough power to make themselves heard and drive both people and policy, it won't, sadly.

It’s not racially motivated but he was happy to say “some white person” - imagine if someone had said “some black person” or “some Muslim person” 

 

And secondly, people are outraged that officers believed the comment about a racial slur as opposed to the kid dying on the ground with a stab wound who openly said “I was stabbed” - nobody said it was racially motivated.

 

People are annoyed that we now live in a country where everyone is so afraid of being called a racist that they fail to do their job properly or impartially. They automatically sided with the Sikh.

Sorry I'm not very good at the attachment thing but it is on YouTube. 

[LCFCJohn]

I’m a tolerant person and hate Reform Uk and their narrative to stir up hatred.

 

But as others have said, this is a complete failing based on prejudice in favour of the minority background. Evil people come from any background. This guy, Southport killer and yes, while British people. 
 

And as well as the devastating impact on the family and friends of Henry first and foremost, this just feeds the right wing narrative that non-white ethic people are bad and everyone is out to get the white population. We just need to be without this shit and accept each other. The justice system needs to be sorted out to deal with people who commit these atrocities regardless of their background.

 

But it really doesn’t help dispel the two tier narrative.

In response to how police dealt with the matter. 

 

'the most important part to avoid societies being ripped apart and before communities start to distrust the police and other institutions is we need a change in culture and enough of anti-white prejudice'. 

 

He's turned it into a political thing. His language is divisive and he knows exactly what he's doing. 

 

The murder by the Sikh or treatment by the police was in no way racially motivated but he's brought up 'anti-white prejudice' for no discernible reason. He knows his supporters will take that and run with it to, ironically, further drive communities apart.

It's not even ironic IMO - it's the exact intent. Division, leading to conflict and eventual "victory" in the form of an ethnostate.

I’m assuming the family of the killer will all be locked away too? Brother & parents all helped him.

The mum has been in custody since the incident. 

 

The judge made reference to the brother having helped him but it was bad on Digwa's lies. 

The judge referenced the dad being the only one to try and initially help Henry. 

 

If your son comes home saying you've been racially abused you're likely to believe them. I don't absolve their actions, especially mum for cleaning the murder weapon, but the son should hold 100% accountability.
