Nottingham police ‘too worried about being called racist to catch dangerous criminals’

Ian Coates, Barnaby Webber and Grace O’Malley-Kumar were fatally stabbed by Calocane

Police are too worried about being labelled racist to tackle dangerous criminals, the inquiry into the Nottingham attacks has heard.

Emma Webber, whose 19-year-old son Barnaby was one of three people killed by Valdo Calocane, a paranoid schizophrenic, said officers were “spending far too much time worrying about discrimination and segregation and doing the wrong thing because somebody’s of a certain colour or certain religion”.

The inquiry previously heard that Calocane was not sectioned after a previous violent attack because he was black.
