Its not a knee jerk reaction at all and its irrelevant if it would have changed this case. Its simply ridiculous that a certain section of the public can carry a weapon that could result in a jail sentence for the rest of us. Should never have been allowed and needs changing.

I missed the bit where the police were told that Henry was slumped on the floor when the cops arrived, informed that he had to be held up against a wall, and had a mouthful of blood. Critical wouldn't you say. This author tries to make out is was a confusing scene, with different parties accusing each other. It wasn't. I won't bother the rest of it ![]() |

Two things that haven't been widely reported.
The two brothers were apprehended together, and in the police car discussed that claiming self defence wouldn't be enough, and they would have to think of a better story (in their own language, obs). And on the brother's 999 call (why was he making the call for a 23 yo?) the police operator asked what happened that was racist, what was he (digwa) called. The brother said the p word (the actual word). The operator replied thanks, I've got what we need now, we'll be sending a team out straight away. The implication (obviously) is that the allegation was only given priority due to the alleged hurty words, and the cops would not have attended otherwise. |

Did Sir Shameless not refer to him as Harvey Nowak?

There is a dead body at the scene, somebody killed him. The only other participant
in the altercation wasn't cuffed, I can only assume the Police believed he couldn't have killed him simply cos he said he'd done nowt. The only surprise is that they put him in a car and took him away at all. |
|
By:
Saddo, that's not actually what happened though.
Henry was conscious and talking when he was handcuffed. Within a couple of minutes he slipped under, at which point the coppers took off the cuffs and began CPR. And at that point Digwa and his brother were arrested and taken in. |

I can't think of any situation where a murderer wouldn't be cuffed, can you?

By:
But a man accused of hurty words, dying or not, is cuffed.

He wasn't talking, pineapple.
He did manage to say the he had be stabbed. He did manage to ask for an ambulance. He did manage to say he couldn't breathe. That is not talking, that is desperately asking for help. |

I'm no fan of the cops, but it's a weird one. The cops were called by the killer who claimed he'd been assaulted. He repeats that and his brother backs him up. The cops can't see any knife wounds on him. The mouthful of blood could have been caused by a punch or falling and banging his face ultimately. The killer made no attempts to flee or act weirdly. Not sure how you would just automatically assume that the fella who called the cops claiming to have been assaulted, and how had a witness to back him up is automatically guilty. The moment Henry goes under the copper does his best to save him to be fair. And obviously, Digwa was arrested at that point. There's a million things you could have a go at the police for, without having to expect them to spot internal bleeding on a bloke in dark clothes late at night and immediately figure out the whole situation Columbo-like.

weird is one word for aggressively handcuffing and arresting a man who can't move and is literally dying in front of your eyes
not one I would use |

And where are you imagining this from? The moment where he sees him in distress presumably gasping his last breaths and he just stand over and says "I think he is going to be sick"? |
|
By:
And seconds later he's uncuffed and they begin CPR
|
|
By:
How many seconds later?
|
|
By:
Well he was cuffed for around one minute wasn't he. At the time, he was able to speak but was slumping over.
Feel in the weird position where I'm having to defend coppers. Strange times. But Henry had been to the pub hadn't he? So there's a decent chance they find him slumped down, accused of assaulting someone, and they can smell booze on him with no obvious visible stab wounds in the darkness. And we know it's common for people to feign injury or illness to get off with crimes. Is it really that outlandish to expect them to dismiss all of that and assume he was dying and the other guy was a killer from the moment they turned up? Feels a bit of a reach to expect them to have the case figured out in the first ten seconds. |

Meanwhile twitter is apparently full of posts naming the two coppers, including giving one of their addresses with "wanted dead or alive".
Just your regular guys. |

Was he? I can see the cuffs going on not coming off. He never spoke when the officer said he was going to be sick or after because presumably at that point he was in his death throes. The officer wasn't as you said 'doing his best to save him at that point' as he was going under he was just watching him. |

Oh great. So maybe the officers just thought he could have been choking on his own vomit and that's why he couldn't breath and so just decided to drag him about the ground and pull his arms behind him then stand there watching him. |
