University student stabbed

In the video they are looking for wounds once they have th me cuffs on him, what they're doing is protecting themselves due to past reviews indicating that perpetrators pretending to be injured then if they fail to cuff them they attack the police, they have cuffed him for their own protection then checked for wounds now in normal instances the wounds are life threatening but not to the level they were for this lad. Clearly a lot of blood loss meant he wasn't going to survive either way but had his wounds not been as bad it would have been the very police being berated in this thread that would have saved his life.

I agree about officers cuffing suspects for their own safety before checking for wounds. But this lad is literally not moving and has to be dragged out from behind the car. How many times has someone "played dead" then attacked a police officer coming to help them?

Plus his alleged offence is a racially aggravated assault and pulling a turban off - there wasn't any report of him having a knife or a gun...it's not as if the police are turning up to a multiple stabbing report.

However, I also don't think it's as bad as certain elements of the media are making out - as they will jump on it for their own political aims. I accept that the officers turning up to that job face a difficult situation. The camera footage is only around 2 minutes long, in which time time the lad has passed away. It's just an error of judgment in a fast paced situation, which has become massively amplified because a lad has been stabbed and passed away.

Hmmmm that might work as an excuse if they didn't take the piss saying 'I don't think you have mate' first.

Face it, you've commited to an idea before the footage and now are doubling down but you're wrong. Massively.

Im sure you were taking the knee and all that jazz as well weren't you, the police arrive cuff him, are a bit sarcy then can see he's been stabbed then the last thing you hear is they call an ambulance, they literally called him and ambulance once they saw he was stabbed.

Do you think it was appropriate to handcuff him as he was lying on the ground offering absolutely no resistance and could barely move or talk?

"And the scary part is absolutely most of us would have done the exact same thing in that situation."

I wouldn't of. I wouldn't just believe a brown man because he said someone is racist and go and handcuff someone. Let alone the fact he is saying he can't breathe and he has been stabbed. What were the cuffs even needed for? He's hardly looking like he is going to make an escape.

The officers choose to believe the brown man because they see racism as a bigger thing than a white boy saying he has been stabbed.

Why would you of acted the same and believed the brown man? Since when is that a normal policing response?

Us white people are a bit fucked aren't we if non white people can just say erm he's racist and then we get handcuffed.

Absolutely none of that is true, and by the sounds of things if a white boy had accused a black or brown boy you'd have had him in cuffs in seconds due to your own tendencies.

It's pretty standard to do this until the police can establish they are not a threat.

Really?

Do you think he was offering a threat?

Yeah that sounds really bad and I'm sure the officer regrets that.

But no I haven't committed to anything it seems you have though.

This is a disgrace of gigantic proportions

The coppers just outright dismiss it

While privilege myth dies with this

‘I’ve been stabbed’

‘Don’t think he have mate’

And the coppers firstly laps up the ‘hate crime’ From the perpetrator. Coppers all drank the cool aid.

Kids hands are white and pale when arresting and there’s zero concern to investigate, more concerned about cuffing and holding him down.

Disgrace
 
I’ve deliberately avoided this in the news because of how distressing it is. The police made several major mistakes with this one and whilst there was probably nothing they could’ve done to save his life, they could’ve at least treated him with dignity and assessed him for injuries instead of giving a smarmy answer
 
“I can’t breath”

“I’ve been stabbed”

“I don’t think you have mate”

The copper did not check on him then. That’s enough to throw the book at the bastard.

Or they could have attempted to save him. I would rather know an officer was trying to save the life of a family member who had been stabbed than let them die in handcuffs.

The officer in question needs to be up in court himself. Not being able to save someone and refusing to help someone are two massive differences in here.
