This might be funny, if it wasn't sad and embarrassing.

@RubenGallego It was a dumb joke for you to make.

[PerryPrius @PerryPrius]

@thomasknox If there’s a non-PC angle in this case it’s that the murderer seems to have had a chip on his shoulder with some cultural substance to it and was perhaps not the finest addition to the UK. You can be pro immigration at a large scale and still want it to be selective.

[PerryPrius @PerryPrius]

@thomasknox did resist arrest far more than people realized and was much more of an active participant in his own death than Nowak was.

[PerryPrius @PerryPrius]

@RichardHanania Still much better than a rubber-stamp Senate for Trump

[Thanos Angelopoulos @Th_Angelopoulos]

So, @mcelderrytruth is right. I was wrong, and I should have looked more carefully before posting.

Coppers uncuffed Henry within a minute and started CPR. The wound was fatal. Henry died despite their efforts. The responsibility lies with the man who killed him and the family who covered for him.

That said, the officers themselves are still citing DEI as their excuse, and that still doesn't hold.

When you arrive at a scene cold, with no witnesses, no evidence, and two conflicting accounts, the procedure is to separate both parties, assess the scene, and establish facts.

Handcuffing one party based solely on the other's verbal account isn't following procedure. It's skipping it. DEI doesn't override PACE.

If they're saying training made them side with Digwa's lies before assessing anything, they're not offering a defence.

They're confessing to bypassing protocol and blaming a DEI course for it.

President Donald Trump said he considered sending US special operations forces to retrieve Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile, but rejected the idea because the mission would require weeks inside a war zone and risk becoming a “Jimmy Carter” moment.

"I didn't want to be Jimmy Carter. I didn't feel like being Jimmy Carter, so that topic we did. Well, we thought about it right at the very beginning, before you saw, before we did what we did, what before we destroyed their entire military. We thought about it, and I didn't want to be in a position where you had been here to get there," he told reporters at the White House.

"It's not like it's not like Venezuela, like you go in, you're there for a matter of minutes and you're out and everybody's waving goodbye as you, and you brought the cargo to be there for two weeks, you need massive equipment to airlift the equipment, and you're in a war zone."

Ok, I hate to say it, but he's right. I was on MARTA yesterday with my daughter.

This guy was swigging from a whiskey bottle and talking about killing someone. Said he had just gotten out of prison. Never stopped making threats. I made eye contact with some other men.

[Thanos Angelopoulos @Th_Angelopoulos]

You say that post-Floyd DEI training created the policing culture that killed Henry Nowak. This is testable. If you're right, the pattern should begin after 2020. It doesn't.

Christopher Alder, 1998. Falklands veteran. Dragged handcuffed and unconscious into a Hull custody suite. Left face down on the floor. Officers stood around while he choked to death. Ten minutes before anyone helped. Inquest: unlawful killing. Five officers charged. All acquitted.

Sean Rigg, 2008. Schizophrenic man, died at Brixton police station after restraint. Inquest found "unsuitable and unnecessary force" and police failings "more than minimally" contributed to his death.

Robert Edwards, 2011. Died in a Suffolk cell. The IPCC found police "failed to take appropriate care" and didn't carry out proper welfare checks. The coroner said he should never have been deemed fit for detention.

Wayne Couzens, 2015–2021. Reported for indecent exposure in 2015. Kent Police had his name, address, and plate number. The investigating sergeant knew his brother, also a police officer. No action. Failed vetting twice, still became a Met officer. Exposed himself days before murdering Sarah Everard. The investigating officer lied about CCTV. Three forces had twenty years of red flags. Nothing to do with DEI

Post-Floyd, still no DEI involvement: Stephen Reardon, 2023, had seizures in a police van while the officer said he was "playing games". Died. Jerome Cowan, 2022, found unresponsive in a library, officers failed to provide first aid. Died. A man at St Erth, 2022, left drunk and vulnerable outside a railway station on a cold night, officers drove past without stopping. Died. All officers dismissed or facing gross misconduct.

Same pattern every time. A person in distress needs help, officers dismiss it or walk away. It happened in 1998, 2008, 2011, 2022, 2023, and 2025. DEI didn't create it. It predates it by a generation.

You also claim "determined, institutional silence". The Speaker acknowledged the case on 1 June. The Home Secretary called it "a horrifying act" and Digwa's false accusation "an evil act" in an oral statement to the Commons on 2 June. Debated in both Houses. Starmer and Baddenoch clashed over it. Front-page news for a week. There is no silence. You invented it because your baseless argument needs it.

You ask pretentiously what you call a system where a dying teenager's word counts for less than his killer's.

I'd ask you: what do you call a system where Christopher Alder choked to death on a custody floor in 1998 while officers stood around, and twenty-seven years later Henry Nowak bled to death saying the same words?

That is an ideology. But not the one you're describing. It's an institutional ideology of indifference to people in police custody, and it has been killing people for decades.

Blaming a training course that's existed for five years for a rot that's existed for hundreds of years isn't analysis. It's a deflection that protects the actual dangerous ideology.

I wrote this week's cover leader for @TheEconomist, on what we're calling Gen-Z socialism.

We argue:
— The me-first, ideology-light interventionism that the new crop of socialists are offering (think: capping grocery prices, freezing rent, wealth taxes) is novel and worth taking seriously.
— Free-market liberals are losing the argument. If anything, policies like rent control poll regularly higher than the parties that support them. Zero-sum attitudes to growth and distrust in markets are widespread.
— Part of the answer must be to stop apologising. Too much in recent decades, the conversation about capitalism has been framed in a series of caveats and retreats (e.g. behavioural economics, winners/losers of globalisation, inequality, climate). Those critiques usually have some truth, but too much weight on them obscures the remarkable success of market capitalism.
— But the centre has struggled, too, to concoct a creative and enticing policy offer. Or even to find remotely charismatic politicians to front it. Especially as AI advances supercharge many of these economic debates, that must change.

That, and much more, in the leader here: https://t.co/0B59jEEcaA

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

A new report on billion-dollar companies shows that a full two-thirds are founded by immigrants or the children of immigrants.

Here's the most amazing part: "There is generally no reliable way under U.S. immigration law for foreign nationals to start a business and remain in the country after founding a company. Successful immigrant entrepreneurs in America are almost always refugees or family-sponsored and employer-sponsored immigrants."

Translation: immigrants are driving the American economy through their entrepreneurship, but we're not even selecting for entrepreneurship.

Immigration is so beneficial to the country that just by accident we're getting a system that is producing an endless list of billion dollar companies.

Imagine if we selected for entrepreneurship! There's so much to be gained here.

Instead, we have idiots attacking H1B visas, which are one of the more meritocratic parts of the system, despite its flaws. Even a flawed immigration system is much better than not welcoming people in, because immigration is just that beneficial.

NEW: A stunning new project from @lawfare's Katherine Pompilio finds that 97 Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the Capitol riot then got arrested, charged, and/or convicted with subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.

[PerryPrius @PerryPrius]

@Th_Angelopoulos The biggest problem is bureaucratic incompetence. This can include excessive deference to vague overhanging policy like DEI but that was clearly a secondary or tertiary factor at best here.

[Thanos Angelopoulos @Th_Angelopoulos]

A certain group of people are treating the Nowak case as if DEI training caused a one-off failure. It wasn't a one-off. This is a pattern of officers not following basic duty of care, and it has nothing to do with diversity training.

Case 1: Stephen Reardon, July 2023. Arrested in St Austell, collapsed minutes into a police van journey. CCTV showed him having seizures and visibly trembling. The officer watching through the Perspex divide said he was "playing games". His name was called 63 times. No response. He spent 22 minutes on the van floor. Neither officer stopped to check on him despite both being first-aid trained. Found dead at the station. Both officers dismissed for gross misconduct.

Case 2: Jerome Cowan, December 2022. Found slumped in a Coventry library toilet, intoxicated, unable to stand or stay awake. Officers removed him from the cubicle and placed him on the floor. He stopped breathing. Died in hospital. The inquest found missed opportunities in the level of care that may have contributed to his death. The IOPC found failures to provide first aid and to treat him with dignity. Three constables and a PCSO now face gross misconduct proceedings.

Case 3: Man in St Erth, November 2022. Found drunk and vulnerable outside a railway station at 1am on a cold autumn night. Officers called an ambulance but left before it arrived. Didn't move him to shelter. Didn't cover him. Drove past at 2:20am without stopping. Returned at 5am to find him rain-soaked, then sat in their car rather than providing aid. His condition deteriorated. He died in hospital. Both officers dismissed.

Same failure every time. A person in distress needs help. Officers dismiss it, delay, or walk away. No first aid. No urgency. No basic human response. Not a single one of these cases involved DEI training as a factor.

The problem isn't a diversity course. The problem is a culture where officers treat vulnerable people in their care as an inconvenience. DEI is the scapegoat. The conduct is the issue.

[Dallas Morning News @dallasnews]

Demonstrators gathered outside the Collin County Courthouse before Karmelo Anthony’s murder trial began Monday morning.

Supporters chanted in favor of Anthony’s self-defense claim, while others across the street voiced support for Austin Metcalf, highlighting the deep divisions that have emerged around the case.

We'll be providing live updates on the trial. Stay tuned at the link in our bio.

@Mr_Alex_Graham @MattWalshBlog You overestimate the competence of the British police. Gross negligence and incompetence is the most obvious factor here.

[PerryPrius @PerryPrius]

Ben Shapiro is going to be kicked out of the Daily Wire. Incredible. Walsh’s X feed, which I decided to look at after seeing a clip of him ranting about data centers and the WEF wanting you to own nothing, is surreal. Another dumb guy on here halfway through his radicalization.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

It’s not “knife crime,” you gutless rodent. It’s anti-white violence. It’s the systemic hatred, oppression, and marginalization of white people in your country, carried out by your government. But you know that.

@stocktalkweekly What % of BDC’s business will this represent?

[Hamidreza Azizi @HamidRezaAz]

The interpretation in Tehran is that Trump only responds to power. In this view, the more #Iran stands firm and demonstrates resolve and a willingness to escalate, the greater the chance that he will back down:

Iran threatens to target Israel if Israel strikes Beirut → Trump calls Netanyahu and urges restraint.

Iran targets U.S. bases in the Persian Gulf in retaliation for U.S. strikes on its coastal military positions → Trump adopts a softer tone toward the Iranian leadership.
