White House demands end to two-tier policing after Henry Nowak murder
The State Department’s statement deepens tensions after video showed officers handcuffing the dying teenager and sparked protests and calls for a policing review.
- The United States State Department criticized the United Kingdom for what it termed "two-tiered policing" following teenager Henry Nowak's murder, stating such practices are "glaring symptoms of civilisational decline."
- Tensions escalated after Reform UK leader Nigel Farage claimed in the Commons on Wednesday that UK police treat ethnic groups differently, calling for "pure, cold rage" following the killing.
- Hampshire Constabulary apologized for handcuffing the 18-year-old as he lay dying, and HM Inspectorate of Constabulary agreed to investigate the force's "culture and performance" after violent protests in Southampton injured eleven officers.
- Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer rejected the "two-tier" claims, labeling Farage's "appeal for rage" as "unforgivable" while urging respect for the grieving family's plea not to exploit the tragedy.
- The National Police Chiefs' Council promised to review documentation to remove "ambiguity," while data cited by Farage shows US police kill roughly 1,200 people annually, with Black Americans subject to force at 3.2 times the rate of white Americans.
