And meanwhile, Henry is dying.
What's going on?
Question number one, why do the police ignore somebody who says...
I can't breathe.
I've been stabbed.
Well, the answer is that it's actually quite common, police officers say to me anyway, when they are handcuffing someone for somebody to say things like that in the hope of getting released.
So it may be that the police officers aim off for that.
Secondly, they've framed the whole thing in their head that this guy's the perpetrator.
However...
It's bad police procedure, right?
There should have been some professional curiosity.
They should be treating both sides equally and they should be prioritizing a claim of stabbing over anything else.
And it's also very questionable why they felt they needed to handcuff somebody who was basically dying on the ground and didn't need to be restrained.
Over to you.
Yeah.
Well, there's also this amazing thing from Vance.
So Vance, I mean, you know, I've just given an account of what happened on that night, right?
So take that on board.
Think what you like.
Fundamentally, what you're thinking about is a lovely, kind man was murdered by a horrible, violent guy who totally unjustifiably overreacted to whatever he perceived as a sight and murdered somebody for no reason at all.
