Woke cops in Britain
-
Im in a WhatsApp group chat with a bunch of old coworkers, mostly British, called Hell-In-A-Handcart, i.e., where Britain is headed. They’ve been following this pretty closely.
Islam ls foul, by the way.

Hadn't heard about this story (what a shock)
I get that magnanimity like this makes one's arguments go down easier, but this is probably way too generous:
I want to be precise here, because precision matters. I am not saying that the officers who attended the scene that night are bad people, or that they set out to let Henry Nowak die. I believe, in fact, the opposite: that they were following the spirit of their training, and of the culture that had been built around them, in good faith, over years. The problem is not the individuals. The problem is the system that produced them — a system that taught them, in effect, that an allegation of racism is a trump card that overrides normal investigative procedure, normal medical common sense, and normal human judgement.
That system was built with the best of intentions, by people who genuinely wanted to address real injustices. And it has produced a policing culture in which a killer can stab a teenager five times, claim to be the victim of racism, and watch the officers handcuff the person bleeding out on the street.
He's right that the officers are not bad people (and the same can almost certainly be said for every officer involved in the Floyd incident, with the arguable exception of Chauvin). But to think this self righteous moralizing culture was born of the best of intentions is far too simple an interpretation. There's plenty of opportunistic power grabbing there based on the social shaming and an exploitation of the desire of the masses to be seen by one's community as "decent" and not "evil". To think that everybody who cries "racism" is doing so out of a deep sense of justice is ignorant to the point of ridiculousness. This story itself clearly refutes that. The murderer cried racism because he knew it would work, and for no other reason.

I didn’t realize that. Sikh’s are anything but foul. Rather surprising.
Maybe take a moment off from slagging off the Pakis with your British chums and go look up what happened to Indira Gandhi (a rather foul Hindu, incidentally, if you listen to Salman Rushdie).
So, when you made an assumption about who the killer was, it was perfectly natural, but when the police made a completely different but equally wrong assumption, it was because they were hopelessly woke?

Victim: I can't breathe. I've been stabbed.

Doctor-Phibes said:

Cop: I don't think you have, mate. <Slaps handcuffs on>No two ways about it - it's fucking horrendous.
That being said, I have some English friends who are ex-cops. 'Woke' is not generally a word that springs to mind.

I don't actually think these cops were "woke". This is a random awful mistake that happens to involve skin colors that make narratives. Which can be said for most of the opposite-direction narratives, like Floyd.

Not to mention the Air India bombing in the 1980s.
Usually though the Sikh underworld in this country is more akin the Sicilian mafia in the US, they’re too busy fighting one another than bother the general population. Sometimes though collateral damage arising from turf wars on the streets does occur.

That's an interesting example of the use of statistics to sell a narrative. You'll notice there are no other Muslim names on the list, which implies that a high proportion of Muslim males are named Muhammad.
Incidentally, Mohammed is one of the two most common names amongst our engineers here at work, despite the fact that only 2 out of roughly 40 people are Muslim.
