A senior Black Police Association leader warns against rushing changes to anti-racism guidance after Henry Nowak's death, arguing reforms should be deliberate rather than reactive to social media and political pressure. Andy George says the move to rewrite anti-racism commitments by the NPCC risks an auto-correction, echoing past concerns about over-correction after the Stephen Lawrence case. The Nowak case has sparked talk of two-tier policing and prompted an IOPC investigation into officers' actions, underscoring the need for careful, evidence-based policy changes rather than swift, unchecked shifts.
