That’s a very long comment that doesn’t provide any actual evidence that the officer in question was following a policy of not doing a basic medical check on someone if that person has been accused of being a racist. Clearly, no such policy exists. Police and other first responders are required to provide medical assistance to anyone who needs it, regardless of whatever crime they might be suspected of.

You refrain from linking to the actual “policy” (but not actually a policy) document that forms the basis of the wild claims that Musk and others are making about this. Perhaps you’re aware that it’s entirely innocuous when read in context.

As I explained, you should search for it. I said this because the process of searching for views that disprove your feelings would be beneficial for you. You seem to suggest that I intended to provide you with evidence...I specifically said that I would not.

https://www.hampshire.police.uk/police-forces/hampshire-cons... - this is a policy document from the police force, this is in the process of being reviewed because the police force involved reviewed the incident in question when it happened and said that the handling met their standards of policing in full (I don't think you understand that you are arguing with phantoms here, the police force has now acknowledged that their policy was wrong and led them to initially say that the incident was handled correctly...afaik, no-one apart from politicians is making the argument you are making, and the policing minister has also said that policy is likely wrong...not that the minister has control over this).

https://www.npcc.police.uk/SysSiteAssets/media/downloads/our... - this is a policy document from NPCC which is one of the many quangos that influences local force policy. There are actually quangos that just provide policy guidance on ethnic minority policy, you should look into these as they also provide extensive training to police forces on the specific situation that occurred and how to handle it (again, this is why the police force initially said that the incident was handled correctly, the key point was the accusation of racism and this is what the police said initially when they reviewed the incidence).

I would also repeat: the reason why I did not include these links is because you do not understand basic aspects of how policing works in the UK. I have answered your question about why a medical check was not performed...yes, that was fully explained (perhaps you see my issue with the way you come across, you come across as someone who has put effort into being misinformed). I have no idea what Elon Musk has to do with policing policy in the UK...that you would bring up this "Emmanuel Goldstein"-esque character unprompted comes across as very bizarre to someone who is unaware of whatever political game is occurring. It is very simple: the police should do their job correctly and treat everyone equally. That is it.

Neither of those documents is actually a policy document, and neither says anything particularly objectionable, or anything that could possibly be used to justify handcuffing someone who’s requested medical attention and then leaving them to die.

> I have no idea what Elon Musk has to do with policing policy in the UK.

He has nothing to do with policing in the UK, but he has a lot to do with the content of a lot of the comments here.

> the police force has now acknowledged that their policy was wrong and led them to initially say that the incident was handled correctly

I couldn’t find a reference for this claim. Some context here, if anyone else is readying: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/jun/03/police-anti-...

Yes, it does. If you read it properly you will see that policy is to treat accusations of racism as accurate whenever they are made. The reason why the police didn't act was because he was accused of being a racist. Again, I am not sure what the argument is: everyone has accepted that this is the case, policing minister, the police force, everyone...apart from you and people who have some obscure political axe to grind.

The police issued a statement on Twitter, this was covered extensively...I am thinking that you are the type of person who is resistent to evidence that counters your opinion that you have just stopped being able to process information, you just loop through your feelings. In addition, it has also leaked that the statement they issued was dialled down significantly and the original line was to blame Nowak for being stabbed...again, this is because their policing policy was to accept any accusations of racism in full.

If you just read stuff properly, you would know all this and wouldn't find yourself backed into a corner arguing against all forms of reality.

Someone being accused of being a racist isn’t a logical reason to deny them medical care, regardless of whether or not you believe the accusation. There is no policy that could possibly be construed as requiring this. And your claims about what the linked “policy” says (again, not actually a policy) are becoming increasingly outlandish, as anyone can easily verify.

> The police issued a statement on Twitter, this was covered extensively.

I couldn’t find any statement that said anything like what you were claiming. Feel free to link it. This is the offical statement that I could find:

Exactly.

In all cases the first priority of a police officer will be to preserve life.

There's no policy in place that would supercede this.

I'm stick of having to listen to these uniformed arguments. There's no good that comes from holding these views; only division.

At the the end of the day, you're just a common or garden racist.

The main problem, is that you're trying to intellectualise your prejudice; which is quite frankly dangerous.

You should be ashamed of yourself.
