Starmer Accuses Musk of Stoking UK Unrest Over 18-Year-Old's Murder

Summary
Keir Starmer said Elon Musk was fueling unrest in Britain after Musk claimed UK police policy effectively requires officers to be racist against white people.
Body-camera footage released this week showed 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa falsely telling police that victim Henry Nowak, 18, had racially abused him after stabbing him.
Police handcuffed Nowak as he lay wounded, and he died at the scene; the case has become a flashpoint over policing and race.
Starmer has urged politicians not to exploit the killing, while an independent police watchdog is investigating officers' conduct in the case.
