Looks like the Reform Brains Trust has served its ban.

The Sikh chap said he feared Henry was going to use his own kirpan against him (so stabbed him a number of times with his larger secondary knife).

Then chased after him, stabbing him multiple times, before taking the dying lad's phone, hiding the knife, and telling the police the lad hadn't been stabbed but had been racially abusing him.
Honestly?
Racism is a bad thing, obviously. In relatively modern history, western nations have been the perpetrators of it - slavery, colonisation, marginalisation etc.
The response to that has been to treat racism as the greatest ill in society and thus to make concessions to groups that have experienced racism in an effort to wash the sins of the past.
Somehow along the way we have allowed racism to become not just a terrible thing but the most terrible thing, and since we want to avoid *the most terrible thing* we have decided that yeah it’s fine to allow Sikhs to carry knives, that yeah it’s a fine to arrest a dying man over an allegation of racism, and so on.
We have stopped seeing common sense because the goal of not being racist takes precedence.

See what the iopc does with the arresting coppers yet I suppose, and potentially a big old lawsuit from the young lads family as well

It's mental that people can wield knives based on religion. Law should be above religion on all fronts really.
Just no need for it at the end of the day. I don't give a fuck what any religion says but carrying any form of weapon, ceremonial or not is just asking for bother.
Whatever happened to start this off, if he didn't carry a weapon then they may have had a fist fight and the result could be a lot different, the lad gets banged up a bit but lives and the perpetrator probably doesn't end up in jail and ruin his life.
I get that most Sikhs won't ever use them in violence but fuck it, get them banned. Should be no excuse at all for anyone to carry a knife.

This is George Floyd levels of bad by the police. How the fuck do you not notice someone has been stabbed 5 times, including in the face, even though he tells them?

Without the outrage by morons the world over.

Cops are admitting the murderer lied to them over the “racism” but the cops who attended the incident f*ched up monumentally.

Racism trumps everything. Its the highest crime available.
Nah the "morons" are right, there should be outrage.
