    White guy was stabbed by a brown person. Brown person denied the stabbing and said the white person attacked him and it was racially motivated. Brown person was not attacked and white person ended up not being a racist piece of trash. Police arrested bleeding white guy, white guy tells police he is stabbed and can’t breathe. Police told white guy he was not stabbed and white guy died because of his injuries while being arrested.

      I appreciate you summarising the actual story/news article, but that is not what I was asking about.

      My comment was a reply to rambling about… “Lemmy says to punch Nazis and this is what happens when you don’t allow people to make mistakes” which was barely comprehensible, chock full of false assumptions about what happened and what Lemmy users think, and topped off with a smidge of Nazi apologia.

      I think the comment I replied to has since been removed as I can’t see it anymore, so I’m guessing you saw my comment as a top-level comment. No biggie.

      Anyway, while I’m here, I’ll leave my actual thoughts on the story itself, which is that it’s a horrible tragedy. It’s also sickening how the far right are hijacking his parents’ grief to stir division and make some delusional point about white people being oppressed in the UK. Police have a lot to answer for on this one.
