How long did this interaction take place . It may of only been a couple of seconds until they realised the serious of the situation. Like I say , it will have been dark , the lad had a dark jacket on , the mother has removed the weapon and the initial call stated the kid had had assaulted the Indian. .The “aggressor” ie the student was apparently on the ground when the cops arrived (he was dying) and the cops didn’t act on info received as when he told them he had been stabbed one of them replied “I don’t think so mate”.
It will all be investigated and no doubt we will see if the police were culpable.
