Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

In police bodycam footage, Nowak ​is seen lying on the street saying "I've been stabbed" and "I can't breathe" while an officer responds "I don't think you have ​mate"

Yeah probably should have checked, I wonder how often they get bullshit claims like that.

How long did it take them to realise that he was injured?

A long time. In the clip I saw, he had stopped responding, and they were starting to get the feeling that it might possibly be the case that it was not unlikely that there was an inkling of a chance that he might be injured. In case there are any racists reading this, thinking that the cops cared more about the guy who said he had been abused, they clearly couldn't give a fuck about him either.

Not seen it and I wouldn't jump to assume race is the first thing the police go to. Far more likely to dismiss people causing them problems, which I kinda get but they do have a duty of care if they are holding someone with injuries and should check a claim like that.

He kept saying "I've been stabbed", increasingly weakly. It's fucking horrible to watch and the police were appalling. They just wanted to arrest him and make him someone else's problem. They didn't consider his welfare at any point.
