Police naming Liverpool parade suspect’s ethnicity may cause future ‘challenges’

A former police superintendent, Dal Babu, says Merseyside Police made the right call by disclosing the ethnicity of the suspect in the Liverpool parade collision to counter misinformation—but warns it could backfire. While transparency helps fight false rumors, it might also give far-right groups ammunition to exploit the situation. The suspect, a 53-year-old white British man, was arrested after the incident left dozens injured.
