Newscast · Will Henry Nowak’s Murder Change Policing? · 6 Jun 2026 podcast

And we are, I think, you know, a world away from that.

at the moment, thankfully.

And also what that murder shone a light on was the way that black people have been treated and dealt with by police as victims and suspects and as witnesses.

So the Macpherson report was an attempt to correct some of that and rightly so.

We then had the murder of George Floyd in America in 2020 when he was murdered by a white police officer, a black man murdered by a white police officer

who compressed his neck for almost nine minutes and it was filmed and it was shocking.

And that, you know, created an outpouring of anger and upset in this country as well about the continuing violence.

poor treatment of black people at the hands of law enforcement and that led to the police race action plan which is I think where we now are because that's the controversial bit I think that people are saying that it's gone too far and that directly came out of what happened to George Floyd in the US yes and do you think it was right that that came out of what happened to George Floyd in the US because it's an interesting thing I mean that was a worldwide storm

Statues being brought down of... Huge demonstrations.

Well, I do think it was right that there had to be a revision of policy because I think things had stalled in terms of the treatment of ethnic minorities and black people in policing and the justice system more broadly.

And there needed to be some sort of rocket boosters put onto that.

But my concern about what's developed since then is you have this gobbledygook of policy.

and procedures and guidelines.

And can I just quote from... Do.

So this is the anti-racism commitment that came out of the Police Race Action Plan that was published last year by the National Police Chiefs Council.

It says, and I quote,

End quote.

Now,

I can't understand what that means or what it's trying to get at.

I can't begin to think how a young police constable, and most of them are in their 20s or 30s at the moment, trying to apply that commitment on the streets in a fast-moving situation, how they meant to navigate that with that in their heads, plus everything else that's going on and all the other guidance.
