The facts are not in dispute. Henry Nowak, a young university student was talking home one night when a 23-year-old Sikh immigrant stabbed him in the chest several times with a “ceremonial blade.”

Vickrum Digwa, the killer, told police that Nowak had racially assaulted him.

This was a lie.

The police handcuffed Nowak, leaving him to bleed out in front of them.

"Mr. Nowak, unlike George Floyd, was not a career criminal. He was not being handcuffed because he was passing counterfeit currency and high on fentanyl and resisting arrest as Mr. Floyd was. It's far more egregious for police to handcuff a man bleeding on the ground than to use a standard approved measure to restrain a suspect that was resisting arrest that went south when he stopped breathing. What was the reaction? The United States blew up for four months. What was the reaction in Britain to Mr. Nowak? Silence," argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
