Conservative: A White George Floyd?

“Another death in police custody,” this time of an “18-year-old British student named Henry Nowak,” shows a striking “asymmetry” of response: the global outrage over George Floyd’s 2020 death vs. silence on Nowak — who was arrested and handcuffed by Southampton, England, police while he was bleeding out after being stabbed by a man wielding “a ceremonial Sikh knife known as a kirpan,” notes Dan Hannan at the Washington Examiner.

The assailant “claimed that he had been racially abused” by Nowak, so “the officers’ first reaction was to put the dying man in handcuffs.”

This demonstrates the “power of the anti-racism taboo, especially in the public sector,” where “being accused of racism is often career-ending.”
