Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
A protest in Southampton over the killing of Henry Nowak and his treatment by police turned violent, with eleven police officers and a police dog injured. While some attendees were ordinary members of the public outraged by Nowak's death and the police handcuffing him after a false racism accusation by his killer Vickrum Digwa, the protest was also infiltrated by far-right leaders, anti-immigrant influencers, and known fascists. Two people have been arrested in connection with the violence.
