Outrage in the U.K. over the arrest and death of an 18-year-old young man after he had been stabbed five times, allegedly by a Sikh who was standing nearby during the arrest, has resulted in a large protest in Southampton where angry demonstrators confronted police.
Police officers have reportedly begun shoving the crowd protesting for Henry Nowak outside Southampton Police station.

Bodycam footage of the arrest recently released shows police handcuffing the teenager, Henry Nowak, as he bled from his wounds and complained that he couldn’t breathe. An officer asks Nowak what happened, and he responds, “I’ve been stabbed.”
The policeman asks, “You’ve been stabbed? Where abouts? I don’t think you have, mate.”
It turns out Nowak had been stabbed in the heart and soon died of his injuries.

The 23-year-old Sikh man, Vickrum Digwa, was reportedly allowed to carry a knife for religious reasons. When police responded to the incident, which occurred in December, Digwa reportedly said he was a victim of racially motivated “hate speech” by Nowak, so police handcuffed the teen instead of him.
Not the Bee reports: “After the murder, Vickrum’s brother called 999 (Britain’s emergency number) to repeat the lie that Henry was guilty of racially motivated hate speech.
“While police were on the scene, Vickrum’s mother ran back home with the knife to wash off the blood.
“The Sikh community then closed ranks around the murderer, protecting one of their own.
“Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, told the British people they need to respond to this new footage with ‘pure, cold rage.'”
On Tuesday, Fox News host Will Cain interviewed Winston Marshall about the incident. Marshall is a banjoist with the British band Mumford and Sons and a political commentator.
“An ideology has been cultivated over years which is frankly anti-white, which is explicit – you can read it,” said Marshall. “It is explicitly racist in the documents. That’s what this anti-racism has always been.
“In this ideology, white people cannot be victims of racism.”
