The bodycam footage of Henry Nowak has just been released.

An 18-year-old who was stabbed FIVE TIMES called the police for help.

His attacker told officers Henry was a racist.

So they handcuffed the victim.

Henry told them over and over:

"I've been stabbed."
"I can't breathe."
"Please brother, I can't breathe."

An officer responded: "You've been stabbed, mate? I don't think you have."

Henry died in handcuffs.

The mainstream media has said NOTHING.

Where is the same outrage from when George Floyd died?

Watch this footage. Share it everywhere.

Pray for Henry’s family.

There were massive international protests over George Floyd and those police involved were severely punished with long prison sentences, yet the police responsible here did not even lose their jobs!

An incredibly unjust double-standard!

[DogeDesigner @cb_doge]

An 18-year-old kid gets stabbed in the street. He’s running for his life, begging for help, and instead of saving him, the police handcuff him while he bleeds out because the attacker claimed “racism.”

They let him choke on his own blood. No urgency. No humanity. Just cold, ideological policing.

Months later? Still no names. Still no suspensions. Still no accountability.

Meanwhile, the same UK police have arrested over 12,000 people for social media posts.

They move at lightning speed to jail citizens for tweets and online comments, yet they can’t even name or discipline the officers who allegedly let a stabbing victim die in handcuffs on the street.

This is the definition of two-tier policing: aggressive against ordinary people speaking online, but protective when it comes to their own failures and protecting the narrative.

The British people deserve real justice, not another cover-up.

Justice for Henry Nowak.

Turns out this guy was lying.

I’m shocked!

It’s always the ones you least expect.

[Nick shirley @nickshirleyy]

CBS News said there was no evidence of fraud.

The NYT said the Somali community was being targeted

CNN said there was "little evidence."

Tim Walz said it was “white supremacy” to expose fraud

Today: $90M busted and 15 charged.

IT WAS ALL FRAUD AND THEY KNEW.

Allow me to translate this letter from eBay for those who don’t speak legalese:

Ryan,

We got your unsolicited offer to buy eBay for $125/share (half cash, half stock) supported by your 5% economic interest in eBay.

Our board, backed by the usual crew of bankers and lawyers who get paid either way, “thoroughly reviewed” it.

We’re rejecting it. Not because the math doesn’t work. Not because the highly confident letter from TD Securities for up to $20B on top of your $9B+ cash pile is fake. None of that.

We’re rejecting it because your entire approach to running a company is an existential threat to how we like to operate here.

Here are the reasons we feel this way, and the things we considered before paying consultants to write this:

1) We’d rather keep milking eBay as a “standalone” cash cow than let you turn it into something bigger and better.

2) Sure, you’ve got real financing lined up and you “know people” with deep pockets, but we’re going to call it “uncertain” anyway so we don’t have to engage.

3) Your plan would actually force real long-term growth and profitability changes we’d rather not be held accountable for.

4) The debt we pretended you can’t even obtain, the operational integration and focus on seller satisfaction, and most importantly, putting someone like you in charge of the combined entity all sound like a nightmare for our current leadership structure because all of us would have zero job security.

5) The valuation math only looks bad if you ignore the 46% premium you’re offering our shareholders and the upside from fixing eBay the way you fixed GameStop, which we are choosing to do and hoping nobody notices.

6) And I hope we buried the lede far enough here: Your governance and executive incentives are completely incompatible with ours. You and your board take zero cash, no salary, no bonuses, no golden parachutes. You buy shares with your own money and only get paid if shareholders win. We, on the other hand, like our nice, reliable annual payouts regardless of whether the stock is flat or the company is just coasting. We’re not about to hand over our golden goose to a guy who eats only what he kills.

Look, eBay is “strong” and “resilient” in the way every entrenched public company says it is while handing out eight-figure checks and perks to the C-suite. We’ve done the usual incremental stuff: tweaked the marketplace a bit, returned some capital, and we’d like to keep doing that without any cowboy from GameStop coming in and demanding actual skin-in-the-game accountability. Can you just leave us alone?

Our team remains focused on protecting the current regime and delivering “value”… mostly to ourselves and our consultants.

Thanks, but no thanks,

Paul S. Pressler
Chairman of the Board, eBay
(And proud beneficiary of the status quo)
