00:00Henry Novak was a kind, thoughtful and much loved young man and this has understandably been
00:09devastating for his parents, for his family and everybody who knew him and I have seen the body
00:17cam footage. It's harrowing and I have to say as a father of a 17 year old boy I felt
00:27sick watching
00:28it. It is absolutely right that the IOPC are looking at this, there are clearly serious questions that
00:37need to be addressed, not least how accusations of racism inform the decision making in this case
00:45but my thoughts, I'm sure the thoughts of everybody in the country are with Henry's family, his life has
00:53been stolen and they are understandably devastated and that is where I start on this.
