As a police officer, here’s what I saw in the video of Henry Nowak’s murder | Letter

As a serving police officer, I found it dispiriting, if entirely predictable, to read the way in which the awful murder of Henry Nowak was hijacked as evidence of “two-tier policing” and anti-white racism (What to do as murder is exploited to spread lies about race and privilege? Stand firm – fight back, 8 June).

On watching the body-worn video, I saw the terrible consequences of a lack of professionalism and compassion meeting difficult and confusing circumstances, rather than the legacy of diversity training or wokeness.
