University student stabbed

I don't say it lightly but if you have potentially cost someone their life then you need to be held accountable. At the very least he should be taken off the front line.

The right wing twitter mob seem to have his name and picture anyway so every chance it will be untenable for him to be a visible serving officer anyway in this day and age
And as the coroner pointed out it didn't cost him his life, but to condense a few minutes and expect anyone to act perfectly is completely unreasonable, the only reason this has become such a massive story is that race was a part of the story.
 

She was checking his pupils as or immediately after he was read his rights from what I saw like.

That isn't what you do mind the first thing all emergency services do is keep themselves and public safe, then they assess any perpetrators or victims. If a situation isn't safe policy is to call for police back up or armed units.
And they can make mistakes and they have. Yeah she checked his pupils whist reading rights

You are also supposed to be impartial.

Not
“I don’t think you have mate”
 
I think it's unlikely they saw.... proceeds to explain exactly what was there to be seen.
On let's expire what you're saying officer goes up to the white like, sees he's been stabbed and bleeding out, handcuffs him? Yes is that your position? That the officer deliberately and wilfully ignored his wounds to handcuff him as he died?

Or

Did he handcuff him because he hadn't seen the stab wounds at this point?

I believe that the officers didn't want to appear racist, so took the face value bullshit of non-white as the most likely to be true, so began to act accordingly based off that.

If even for a single second they decided that their political correctness was more important than correctly identifying if a lad saying he'd been stabbed and couldn't breathe was telling the truth then they deserve to rot.
 
Horrible situation like but with the lad and his Mam covering up what really happened it made it very difficult for the police. They clearly thought there was some kind of hate crime and the perp was the victim. They've cuffed the lad but not exactly putting their knees into his neck or anything. The delay in acting is only like a minute or something. The pathologist said it would not have made a difference at that point.
I just don't get the angle that some are taking here. There was a mistake for sure but it's not an act of racism.
 
So in that case you want a police officer to face charges or reprimands for a cynical comment?
I want him to be fully investigated is what I’ve said and he already has been and I also want the right outcome.

If someone has said they have been stabbed and are on the floor also saying the cannot breath. I don’t think handcuffing him would be my first thought mind as you need to treat it as a medical incident

This 100% needs investigating, and it will be.

What risk was this bloke curled behind a car on the floor? And the IOPC will do its job

Racism is used for political use only here. Like I said the IOPC will rightfully investigate, I am sure they will get to the right outcome.

Agree on the latter part. Not sure it is acting perfectly to check on someone that is laying down and claiming to be stabbed. There is no ulterior motive, but there is clear evidence of being duped and acting abhorrently in a pressure moment, and you should be held accountable for that in your job via disciplinary action.

People just use things like this for their benefit. They couldn't care less about the victim. It will be the usual suspects on social media today stoking it up

Poor policing? yes
Racist policing? no

This is the most left brained thinking I have ever seen man.

A white boy was the victim of a racially motivated killing, and when the police arrived at the scene, their immediate response was to treat the victim as the perpetrator because the victim was the white one.

Yet there you are, making it about right wing politicians you don’t like.
