>Crowds have gathered outside New Scotland Yard, the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Service, in protest against racism and police brutality.
Written in such a way to make you think the killing WAS racist and police brutality.
No balance to point out that actually, there is no evidence the police did anything wrong, and the protestors are just jumping to conclusions which fit their anti-police biases.
Get ready for yet another “Comments Restricted” so 95% of posts can’t be seen.
This is pretty ridiculous.
Why not wait until they’ve seen the body cam footage and the investigation is complete?
Eyewitness accounts have all said he refused to stop and then started trying to ram police officers. He may not have had a gun, but his car can still be used a deadly weapon.
I know his mum and cousin say he was a nice boy and wouldn’t hurt a fly, but it certainly seems like that isn’t the case whatsoever.
Rally for man who was a known gangster with previous firearm convictions and later shot after trying to ram police officers held at Met headquarters.
Based on everything I’ve heard and the little evidence that had been made public… Good fucking riddance.
Where’s the protests against thr gangs. This man was only going to make his community’s lives a misery. How many young black people would he have gone on to kill with the firearms he was used to carrying?
This is the UK, not America. I know American culture has permeated the UK now for decades, but this hysteria in London in the black community is bordering on ridiculous. And when organisations, community leaders and journalists try and legitimise these ridiculous “concerns” over armed officers, and create false parallels with US Policing standards it endangers us all.
Have the rally organizers seen evidence proving that Chris Kaba was racially profiled and then unlawfully killed?
Maybe they should wait until the evidence actually comes out and we hear the full story?
Oh wait what am I talking about…

Imagine if a rally was held every time a guy was stabbed to death in London in a gang-related killing. This is honestly laughable. Every person attending this rally is making an utter fool of themselves, and it’s sad to see.
line up for this dead person.
line up for that dead person.
^(ignore the living who are in need.)
line up for another dead person.
What a surprise, Jeremy Corbyn is there. On the wrong side as usual.
Just looking for an excuse to start looting and burning shops.
This isn’t any George Floyd …. it is what it is…. I rest my case….. condolences to his family….. end off….. let’s be honest if he was white would we really be having this media cover …. no fucking way !!!!!!!
This is the first case of an individual being shot by armed police this year. Looking into it he’s clearly not a particularly virtuous person. BLM are, once again trying to transpose an American issue onto the UK and get a ‘gotcha’. If Chris Kaba was a law abiding professional then I might get a bit more excited about the case.
A quick look at his rap lyrics “braap braap this is how I use my gun against other young black men from different postcodes, let me post it all on YouTube for fame and clout and in order to let everyone know I am in fact a criminal who has access to firearms braap braap”
Suffice to say, I will not be joining any protests or mourning his demise.
Only people involved in the incident and those who have knowledge of events that came before have the information required to make a judgement on this action.
Officers on the ground are given authorisation to shoot by a senior officer: that person knows they are responsible for the decision made.
