‘I Can’t Breathe’ RIP Henry Nowak

entry picture

Dragged along gravel, collapsed and bleeding,

A life ebbing away, a young man pleading.

I’ve been stabbed’…Henry repeatedly said.

Before long, an innocent young man was dead.

 

9 times, Henry said he couldn’t breathe anymore.

But the cops just arrested him, cuffed on the floor.

Henry’s hand can be seen, bloodless and white.

The body cam footage is such a harrowing sight.

 

Playing the race card, Henry’s killer stood on by.

Believed and protected, he told callous lie after lie.

The police, instantly and predictably took his side.

The police bought his lies…while his victim died.

I hope that my comment is not misconstrued, Mike.

Whilst I do not subscribe to the racially motivated hatemongering conspiracy theories which accuse the police of prioritising one group over another, I do believe that there are serious questions to be answered about the handling of this distressing case.

"Dereliction of Duty"?

Does such an offence exist within in the Police Discipline Code, Mike?
