The family of Henry Nowak, who was fatally stabbed in December 2025, expressed their trauma after viewing police footage of officers handcuffing him as he lay dying. They described their pain upon receiving the news of his death and the subsequent emotional turmoil from watching the video, which has sparked political outrage.
