The Sunday Times reports that 3 days after Henry Nowak’s death, police wanted to issue a statement implying Henry was the aggressor.

@LeilaniDowding@SheelaghG That’s just their salary.
Then they’re unleashed like ticks on the rest.
Add all the time buying rainbow lanyards, running training courses to spread their spells, paint rainbows on their doorsteps, and police cars then dress-up and cosplay.
