'I can't breathe': protesters clash with police over handcuffed dying student
Protests erupted in the UK after a video showed 18-year-old Henry Nowak, who was stabbed by a Sikh man falsely accusing him of racial abuse, being handcuffed while saying 'I can't breathe.' The far right claimed white British people are treated as second-class citizens, contrasting with a 2024 UK government report showing black people are 2.2 times more likely to be arrested than white people. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the bodycam footage 'harrowing' and announced an investigation into police conduct.
