Police officer cleared

Search the video online, it was on the news yesterday. He was ramming police cars and had previously been in trouble over a shooting. The other people involved are all now in prison. He was a gang member.

Yep!! Front and centre playing the victims! Jeez hang your heads in shame…or stay silent…can’t they be done for living off his criminal earnings??

somebody needs to dig into them as they were happy for the spotlight on them trying to stir up trouble!

This 100% he is an utter disgrace…beggars belief he is the mayor

Or accountability on herself!

the histrionics and dramatics from the family is shocking.

OMG
kendodd me too! Can't find one for Martyn Blake but one for KC's family

Just looked to see if there was a Go Fund Me page for the police officers involved- no, or not that I could find.
There is however one for CK's family and 'justice for CK' and people are still donating.

Yes, Yvette Cooper announced this.

Makes Claire Holland, leader of Lambeth Council look a right twat (she is..) in the context of the Labour HQ stance.

Word on the street is that a few weeks before he committed firearms offences, Mr Kaba tried to kidnap a young woman off of the street.
However, she is "blessed" to have real , grown men as relatives who come from a time when young men could not easily intimidate capable men.
He got the beating of his life.....allegedly.
Couldn't be me wasting my woman time banner and bangle waving on behalf of woman hating scum.
Is there such a thing as a gangster for whom women are not merely props or pawns?

I think the reason people talk so much about black on black crime is because listening to the people who like to remind us that 'black lives matter' you could be forgiven for thinking that white people (or the police) are the biggest threat to the safety of black people in this country. But that's simply not true, is it?

No it isn't true, @TwigletsAndRadishes, as many black posters have been good enough to remind us, but it suits some to pretend it is in order to avoid the questions communities need to be addressing themselves

As ever it's so much easier to blame "someone else" than to look within

Edited to add the news you mentioned about officers remaining unnamed while investigations take place is welcome, but probably impossible to monitor.
As said before, what chance do you suppose there is of crminals and their enablers keeping schtum if the name's known to them?

I'm honestly not sure what some of these SJWs want - for the police to just let a gangster kill them, because the poor gangster being killed is such unimaginable horror to them?

You do realise you can still drive a car with flat tyres? Certainly well enough to continue ramming vehicles around you and run police officers over and kill them.

A few years ago a gang member was killed driving the wrong way up the North Circular. He drove for over 2 miles at high speed with 2 flat tyres while fleeing from the police. Two flat tyres didn't slow him down. Going straight under an oncoming lorry was a slightly different matter however.

I couldn’t agree with you more. How is this slimeball still mayor of London?!

This x 20000000

Well said!

Not only is this behaviour toxic, divisive, and insulting, but it is also exactly what the gangs want! Channel the discourse and people's energy away from the terror and the misery they cause

He’s my sympathy to his family & community …. I’m so sorry you raised a murderous, criminal thug and it was only a matter of time before he ended up dead as retribution for his violence & aggression towards other young black men. And for his negative impact on “our” community, his selling drugs to our children, extortion and being an all around threatening person. So sorry for your utter failure to raise a productive law abiding son.

100% and … does Khan get police protection? … only black officers? He is shameless

I've just seen an update on my news feed that police officers who shoot suspects are to be granted anonymity while any investigation or court case is in process. I think that's a very welcome move and I am only sad that it cannot apply to this particular police officer.

Hear Hear.

Love this.

This is so very true.

So good people who were thinking of joining the police today to protect their communities are thinking what? No way.
So police recruitment ends up with power crazy, women hating racists, because they are the diminishing pool prepared to join up.
And you end up with having to create a poorly trained parimilitary police force that has no connection with communities and is on edge as gun violence becomes the norm. And police shootings become the norm in response. Exactly what is happening in USA.

This

I am getting too deeply invested in this case.

One last input. A poster called Ike Ijeh (a black male) on X:

"This incessant pandering to "black communities" is toxic, divisive and insulting. My race lends me no more cultural kinship with Chris Kaba than Rowley's does with Fred West. There are only two communities the police should be interested in, those who commit crimes and those who don't."

Take note Sadiq Khan , Claire Holland and nitwit BBC reporters at large in Croydon.

It was registered to Pottinger, one of the co-conspirators in the nightclub shooting. But Kaba seemed to drive it regularly - he drove it to the night club shooting - but left in...guess what...a Range Rover

And next up:
Claire Holland, Leader of Lambeth Council- undermining the police, showing zero respect for the jury based justice system on which our democracy depends, and betraying a great many of her Lambeth residents:

Councillor Claire Holland, the Leader of Lambeth Council, said:
“We have witnessed the pain and trauma in our communities caused by the tragic fatal shooting of Chris Kaba in our borough. Since his killing in September 2022 we have worked to support both his family and local people in coming to terms with this loss.
“The sense of shock and grief felt at the loss of Chris was felt deeply by his family, friends and the community. We have joined them in mourning his loss, and calling for answers.
“We welcomed the Independent Office for Police Conduct’s decision to investigate and ultimately refer this case to trial. The Central Criminal Court murder trial of the Metropolitan police firearms officer who fired the fatal shot has now concluded and we note the Not Guilty verdict.
“While this closes the criminal investigation into Chris’ killing, the trauma in our communities remains and we are committed to working with local people to find a way for us all to address the pain being felt.
“We will be speaking with Chris’s family and local community leaders about how we can best deal with our collective grief and ongoing community concerns.
“We will also be speaking to the Met and the government to continue the push for change that we need to see in both Lambeth and London to ensure that we have the fair and accountable policing our communities both need and deserve.
“Most importantly, we must see real action to address the failings highlighted by Baroness Casey’s devastating report into the Met and that have most impacted on black Londoners, women and our LGBTQ+ communities.
“This is a really difficult moment for our borough. The loss of a young person at the start of their adult life, with so much ahead of them, is such a tragedy. Our thoughts are with his family and friends, particularly at this moment, and we remain committed to supporting them.”

I guess this ludicrous statement is designed to mollify the people she presumes will riot or cause civil unrest.

1. Way to patronise and stereotype your residents, Claire
2. Show how liberal and on the right side of history she is
3. Show how anti-racist she is
4. Way to patronise and stereotype your residents Claire

Ignore the community whose lives are ruined by these gangs (that is not hyperbole- I referred to some actual cases that I know of in an earlier post), ignore the black community whose lives are blighted and ruined by these gangs -and make the police's jobs even harder as you do it.
