Met police officer not guilty of Chris Kaba murder
Вставка

- The officer who fired the shot that hit Chris Kaba in the head said he believed he and other officers were in mortal danger.
Kaba was unarmed but the police felt threatened by his driving and the jury at the Old Bailey found Martyn Blake, whose code name was NX121, not guilty of murder.
The Crown Prosecution Service defended their decision to charge him but are facing criticism from the police and Conservative politicians.
And the family of Chris Kaba and campaigners say the death is part of systemic racism and disproportionate killing of black men.
A warning: Ria Chatterjee's report contains footage of the shooting.

Stop blaming this on the colour of his skin. It was the content of his character that got him shot.
Always is.
The two are highly correlated statistically.
I agree wholeheartedly. If anything, he was using the colour of his skin as a cover.
The police dident even who was driving! if black people commit more crime and are over represented in the crime stats then of course there more likely to get into situations like this.
Which ironically is what MLK was fighting for. To be judged by your character, not the colour of your skin. Chris's actions ultimately caused his own tragic death.
Kaba made a fatal mistake and it caused his death. The officer was rightly found not guilty.
He made quite a lot of mistakes to get himself into that situation.

Had he had been white the murderer would be found guilty and the whole met would be over turned just like ofsted because one white women killed herself but i guess black life is valued the same as the crooks in American,
Its the same in America... comply....@johnwarne8941
Unarmed, except for the 2 ton vehicle he tried to run the police down with.

Also in a car linked to a shooting the day before
He literally was reversing his car away from his killer before the latter pulled the trigger

I agree except it's definitely NOT all of us. No one in my family or friend circle is this stupid fortunately. I won't don't let my kids associate with anyone who has violent tendencies or a "ghetto" mentality. There's loads of community figures trying to influence change for us but without proper parenting it will just continue.
@@harvey2609 your son killed another human being. The cop put himself in that situation and knew the risks of his job which he volunteered to do.
He knew the risks. And one of the risks is that you can end up in court charged with murder.
@@Heresy1987now he’s been rightly found not guilty and his family are crying about injustice 😂
@@Heresy1987made yourself look a bit silly there didn't you?
Justice then. Chris Kaba had a history of gun crime, was asked to comply with officers and then drove off and potentially into them while potentially still having a firearm used the night before. What do people expect here? Don't be a criminal.
Most of us from council estates have friends that are known for guns ! Does that mean police should shoot us🤯 You shouldn’t be shot by police for suspected links
He also used the car as a gun.
Too many potentials there, which puts holes in your supposed water tight argument.
Still baffles me how the police always crank out the line "he made movements which suggested he was armed", yet no gun was found was it? Was it?
People dont make movements towards a gun that doesnt exist.
Remember when they shot that guy a few years back in his bed, who was naked? No one convicted for that murder.
Remember when the IRA guy killed in 1996 during an arrest operation in London? He complied with all requests and did exactly what they asked him to do, but still found himself getting shot. They knew they had no weapons in the hotel room, had used an extremely strong cs spray on the people in the room and after they shot the chap, the cops dragged his lifeless body down the stairs (photos online to see) and slung him outside....oh and didnt call an ambulance for him.
Let us not forget the Brazilian gentleman that was going for his train when armed thugs in the Met stood on him and shot him point blank in the face infront of terrified on-lookers and fellow passengers. The cops lied about him running away from them and made all the same sounding legally coached statements to avoid prosecution and legal proceedings.

Because Channel 4 clearly have a bias
Eternal victims
It’s channel 4’s MO
Because it's channel 4. It's what they do.
Chris kaba aka ITCH FROM 67 gang was a gangster.
As a black man from South, if you drive a car at armed feds, what do you think they’re gona do?!?
What do you think your colour has to do with it. You are a black man with an opinion. It still is only an opinion. His family did this trial because they needed to know what happened. It was their right.
Did we watch the same video? He was trying to drive away and the police ran into the front of the car and shot him. You remind me of another dim-witted black male in the US who is always online backing the blue, until he was shot in the back trying to break up a fight. He favourite blue cops emptied their armo into his back. The officer was also cleared. Jonathan Price.
@@KaeMaiden If you're stopped by the Police - you STOP. Trying to force your way out indicates you are not law abiding and you suffer the consequences.
Don't listen to these clunges, you are right, and everyone agrees, the rest is just anti police bias.
@@KaeMaidenThis isn't America. And get a white man to drive a car at an armed officer and see what happens... you won't find out cause it won't get clicks.
So a criminal got exactly what he deserved and Channel 4 are making out he was a victim just because he's black
The trial would have covered what happened in great detail. The jury heard and saw all the evidence before reaching their verdict. C4 are really pissed off at the outcome!
Hes not black he's African
Madness it's like C4 want to instigate unrest
I didn't see any sign of Ch4 having that attitude in this report. The shooting was suspect, it has been investigated and now it has been found to be justified. That is the situation and that is what has been reported here.
I think your own biases are colouring your impression. Every line of the journalist's report seem to be concisely factual in nature without opinion being unduly offered. I think your problem is that it covers the story from multiple angles rather than stating 'here a criminal got exactly what he deserved' - which would be entirely unprofessional.
The SAS have a saying, "Big boys games, Big boys rules". Don't be a career criminal who carries a gun and then have people moan about being shot.
Amen
Exactly 👍
And for all the people who still get shot who arent career criminals and who dont carry a gun?
The SAS are no one to quote from. They are currently getting investigated for war crimes as a regiment for killing civilians and unarmed combatants (breaking the rules of war as they so frequently do) in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.
Excellent quote 👌
They're a load of nutters too.
HE WAS NOT UNARMED - HE WAS ARMED WITH A CAR THAT HE WAS USING AS A LETHAL WEAPON.
For real though, a car is basically an armoured mech-suit
A car is an Armoured Personnel Carrier. The police should be able to deal with these situations -this is what they are trained for.
@@greatgatsby6953 They did. What is your problem? The driver could just surrender and face the charge for what ever it was.
@@greatgatsby6953they dealt with the situation good this ain’t a game like the driver thought it was such a shame you would try and defend his wrong doings giving him the right for him to try make of from the police after committing crimes you need to have a rethink about how criminals are not helping society in any way.
In the USA if you even look like driving a car in the direction of Police that gets you shot dead, the USA Police call it a Magdump, all bullets from the magazine into the perpetrator, yet here we are in the UK where only ONE shot was fired and the coloureds are getting angry ?? Give me a break folks, "the weed of crime bears bitter fruit" !
Breaking news 1000s of BBC employees and Guardian readers are having mental breakdowns as the officer has been cleared......they blame systemic "racism".

Very clever.
You'll be amazed at how even plenty of leftie liberals find this particular prosecution to be questionable at a minimum
His car was involved in a firearms incident the night before and he tried to ram his way out when stopped. He could have potentially killed officers or members of the public trying to escape. The family make me sick defending someone who is obviously a wrongun. Take some responsibility for what he was. It’s not about skin colour at all so stop stirring up hatred.

How do you know they were aware of what he did or were in agreement with what he did? You're assuming a great deal here, which doesnt surprise me at all.
No….they are disappointed the verdict has all but cancelled out any claim for compensation. Look at the dramatic production by three of the late Chris Kaba’s family, the timing was as good as anything from a Morecambe & Wise Christmas production. The deceased was a criminal, lived a life of violence and regretfully died as a result of his chosen lifestyle. The family say they will not be silenced, I would be ashamed if my son had turned in to a violent criminal yet they pose for the cameras demanding justice. Justice has been served, respect the laws of this country in which you reside.
The officer did his job, he used his car as a weapon? What do you expect
If someone smashes into your house with a car and tries to rob you and hurt your family and you defend your home and family by murdering the man. You go to jail for murder. What's the difference here? A badge?
@joelmills9470 are you joking? They're trained armed police officers and you think the only difference between you and them is a badge?

That’s a stretch.
@@Ytremz sorry, upon further research it does in fact seem he was just trying to park his car or the car he borrowed that he had no idea was involved in a crime involving guns the day before. Think what might have happened if he got desperate because he might have shot someone 6 days before and as he has already been in trouble on gun charges, he could have been in a lot of trouble.
@@Ytremz I agree. He was unarmed. But he turned his car into a weapon. I hope you verse yourself with the video from the prior week of him shooting a man in a club.
Disgusting. So Rowley the Head of the Met Police quickly expressed sympathy for the family of Kaba, a man who had a criminal record, but the Officer found to be innocent, Blake, who suffered for two years as did his family, got nothing from Rowley.
You clearly haven’t heard his full statement. He acknowledged the officer before the dead bloke.
His family should be apologising for raising a complete thug.

The jury came to the right decision. But this should never have come before a jury in the first place. The individual had firearms markers, and made attempts to escape, using his vehicle as a weapon with no regard to the officers' safety. One has to ask the question, if this was a white British male would there have been as much uproar?
Soon as I heard “… a young black man” my eyes rolled and I do have black friends who are all decent human beings.
Nope
@TheAArmstrong so you don't agree that the police officer concerned should have taken whatever steps to protect his safety, the safety of his colleagues and the safety of the public from this dangerous individual? The individual was using a 2-tonne vehicle as a battering ram. Do you think that this individual gave a single thought about the level of damage he could have caused? He was given enough warnings by numerous officers and he continued to use the vehicle as a weapon with zero regard for the safety of others. If he had nothing to be concerned about then why try to escape?

Exactly. It's obvious why.
That was the tory government for you
No. The trial was entirely justified. It was certainly questionable that lethal force was justifiable.. Upon seeing the video I agree with the jury that it was and Blake did the right thing under the totality of the circumstances.
When a lot more is done to tackle the institutional racism of the Met Police and it is eradicated from our police forces then we won't have to worry about situations like this being based on racial profiling but until then they MUST be brought under legal and public scrutiny.

The victim here is Martyn Blake
Yes, and the fact his name has been released to the public. Absolutely shocking the lack of protection firearms officers get.
Well said 👏👏👏👏👏.
Yes, a good man trashed by the vile criminal prosecution "service".
Blake should not have been named but the victims here are Kaba's family and it is Kaba who made them victims. His mother says it here. Her son broke her heart. She doesn't say that the man who killed him is responsible for her grief. Smart lady.
Mr. Mark Lucraft KC demonstrated an egregious lapse of judgment and a profound lack of competence in his designation of Martyn Blake as the police officer involved in the fatal shooting of Chris Kaba. Such a serious error renders Mr. Lucraft unfit to hold his current position. He must be held accountable for his actions, issue a public apology, and contribute to any compensation awarded to Sergeant Blake.

Having watched the body cam evidence the police have my full support. It would be interesting to know if the victim had a police record or was known to be engaged in criminal activity. If he didn’t have a record the question has to be asked what was he doing in a car that was used the previous evening in a gun crime. For me it’s obvious he was trying to flee and was using his car as a weapon to do so.
Criminal record? Kaba was literally a member of a gang that was so notorious it was dissed on a drill track by a rival rapper who is now dead. Kaba's life was one long criminal record - 2 separate jail sentences for guns and knives, restraining order by his ex, implicated in conspiracy to murder

This is something that i'm still not sure about. As far as i know, the police/CPS 'decide' a crime has happened, and the jury just decide if the accused committed or didn't commit that crime. Has there been an inquest yet ? i know that sometimes they have one after a trial, ( doesn't that decide if a death is a crime or not ?) Once a crime has been declared can it be 'un-crimed' ? Who or what can change this ? Will the police say 'they are not looking for anyone else' or that the crime is un-solved ?

That black ''journalist'' woman is very very bias. Channel 4 should be ashamed. The guy with 2 ton car tried to tackle police officers. What's that even got to do with race? Jesus Christ... another shameful usage of black race card.
Why did Kaba try and escape in his car, why not stop ? The vehicle was used in a shooting the night before in Brixton, so officers understandably had to be cautious in the stop, equally officers could have been crushed by the Audi's erratic driving.
London cannot become lawless.
Sorry to disappoint you, it already is.
I am frankly, not surprised that Channel 4 has taken this heavily weighted view.
Armed police officers risk their lives taking on hardened criminals.
So, the perpetrator concerned did not have a gun on him, on that occasion.
The balance of probability was that the possession of a firearm.was likely.
If a person is known to the police for violence snd firearms possession, unfortunately, they are risking counter measures.
All he had to do was stop and comply - simple 🤷♂️
“We’re gonna do it…”
As in a forced traffic stop.
Stop misrepresenting the footage
❤
Thank you PC Blake.
Are we meant to have sympathy for this scumbag? What is this? Justice for someone who had no care for life.
What about the victims of violence on the streets of London, is this not a good result for them? Why are we suppoed to feel sorry for the criminal (wont even mention his name). PC Blake was found innocent, that was justic for him. Why aren't you commending PB Blake on his bravery for protecting the public instead of defnding a man who wanted to make society a dangerous place for evyone else???
DISGUSTING JOURNALISM
Channel 4 are a disgrace!
Thank you to the British police who keep us safe.👌
😂😂😂... They keep there own safe... You me and everyone else is cannon fodder
@shugiemullen6664 Keep their own safe 😂😂 grooming games pal...
Yeh tell that to sarah Everards family.
Bootlickers out in force on the comments tonight
@@jake751 One bad apple.
When you think you hate journalists enough, you don't
The statements from the family highlights the problem. No accountability, their behaviour is always someone else's fault.
As for Channel 4, disgraceful race baiting. How they can show us the video from multiple angles before trying to convince us this was race related. Insane.
The type of person to raise a cretin won't have the insight or decency to admit it, unfortunately.
It's really strange when you think about it. The demographic that most frequently expresses frustration over unfair police treatment also seems to have an unusual amount of run-ins with law enforcement. What’s even more baffling is how, in so many cases, they fail to comply with basic police commands, which often escalates the situation. You’d think that if a group feels targeted or mistreated by the police, they'd go out of their way to avoid any unnecessary confrontation. Yet, somehow, there seems to be this persistent pattern of behaviour that only intensifies those negative interactions. It’s almost as if the entire philosophy behind BLM mostly relies on emotional appeal rather than addressing the complexities of accountability.
wooow , I'll give you an " A " for effort.. probably the best written comment on this post..I'll have to lift my game!!!.❤️🇬🇧
Wow, what a word salad. Let's go through it: of course the demographic with the most police run-ins would be best placed to express frustration - they have the most experience of it. It's not strange at all.The next bit is pure conjecture, unless you'd like to share with us the details of all these cases of failing to comply with basic commnds and escalation. The following sentence "You'd think that if a group..." could simply be replaced by "I don't know what it's like to be racially profiled". In fact that could replace the entire post, for all the sense it made.
@@MissBlennerhassett876if statistics point to minority groups committing various crimes, would you not want those crimes to be targeted in the best way possible?
Soon we will have, "person of some description commits crime"
I sure that will help

As a Black man I’m very disappointed at channels 4 biased reporting in favour of dangerous criminal behaviour - it shouldn’t always be about colour
Exactly. Do you think channels like this care about the victims of people like Kaba? The young black men getting shot, stabbed and killed up and down the country by especially in London? Of course not. They just want to play their part in stirring up hatred and division.
As a British born brown Muslim, (I didn't have to state this but considering the circumstances I think it plays a part).. seeing the evidence, the guy had it coming. This isn't a race issue. If that was my brother, I would be asking.. why did my brother do that? Using his vehicle to ram into police? That would mean my brother was up to no good. If he is capable of ramming into a police today, what would he have done tomorrow? If he was innocent, he should have pulled over. His reckless decision meant that the outcome was justified.
You being a 'brown' man don't give you any more or less right to.judge or comment. If it was a brown man or your brother then we might listen.
Are you a fool, what sense did you come up with. Your thinking is limited. No gun it drugs were found so in that stop yes he was innocent. Asians don’t support blacks generally so when massa disowns u again don’t say black and brown
All he had to do was stop driving the car at Police. It really was that easy. It should of never went to trial
His family saying “we will get justice” is one of the most unhinged things I’ve ever seen. Maybe if they took more accountability for their actions, their son would of learnt that the world doesn’t revolve around him and when the police say stop, you stop. You don’t try to ram your way through their cars, them and endanger the people around the cars.
Why is this report trying to make out as if the police weren't doing their job for once and that guy was trying to drive through multiple people and vehicles (most people would stop for police)...
Terrible news coverage.
Why can't people understand that they are responsible for their actions?
Responsibility is hate speech in 2024.
Shame on channel 4.
If you are White, then you are 10x more likely to die either during or after contact with the Police than what you would do if you were Black. Obviously channel 4 does not want to report that. Go check the officials stats. Another fact, more Black men die at the hands of Black men than they do Police officers. Fact!
for what?
@@christianaigle3054 are you thick?
@@DanielWynn-v7b No. I'm thin
@@christianaigle3054 you’re also as funny as a cancer diagnosis. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, so not only are you unfunny, you proved my initial point. Thanks for that.
Let us Not Forget that the officer could face an internal invetigation for " GROSS MISCONDUCT "?. The jury made the right decision so let it end here.
As the old saying goes.... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
The report playing the ‘Black numbers‘ game.
Maybe the reason the number is so high is because of the violent crime they are involved in.
You can tell Channel 4's take on this. Unbelievable. Apparently he was a career criminal who was known to use a gun. He gets shot by police in a highly charged incident and Channel 4 struggles to grasp why.
The family tried to keep his criminal past undisclosed, what a joke .
Family should be ashamed to grew a man as a criminal, shame on you guys
He wasn’t a Boy Scout. He was a criminal! He was armed with a 2 tonne car. Shame on you channel 4 for reporting this in a way that attempts to make the police look bad. What will you do when the day comes that you need the police to save you and there’s no one left? What needs to change is people’s behaviour so the police are just decoration around a very civil society.
It's there for everybody to see he was using that car as a weapon despite channel 4 news making him the victim.
A complete disgrace. This was a young, violent criminal, known long before the trial. We need to address route social cause, irrespective of ethnicity.
“We’re going to do it” said the officer. Lovely editing and insinuation from Channel 4 news.
Excellent decision by the courts.
The videos show the driver ramming other cars and people on foot. Blue lights everywhere... Driver got shot and unfortunately passed away. But how is this the officers fault?
Officer is innocent in this case in my opinion.
One of Londons' most notorious criminal gangsters using his 2 ton vehicle as a weapon.
Channel 4 news: An unarmed black man.
He lived by the gun and died by it. This is hard for Kaba parents to understand but it is reality.
How many lives has that police officer saved by his actions?
If this was the usa the guy would have been turned into Swiss cheese
1) Chris Kaba was convicted in 2019 of possessing a gun 2) He refused to stop his Audi when pursued 3) Cornered in S. London smashed into police car to escape 4) Refused 12 times to leave his car 5) Cops shot him dead
Why didn't he just get out of his car
A Simple Question to all the BLM marchers, why didn't Kaba comply ?
That's all I want to know.
He would be alive and behind bars, perhaps that's why.
Kaba was a danger to black people.
How was this a murder trial?! So obvious the guy was using the car as a deadly weapon no one has any common sense anymore
Murder? Channel 4 is a disgrace
Channel 4 trying to play games with the population.
Just being reported now in press. It was "highly likely" that kaba had shot a man the days before, he was high on cocaine and had gunshot residue on his clothing.
This should has been disclosed to the public from day 1.
This is the worst biased reporting ever put out by Channel 4, frankly disturbing.
Disgusting that this guy was portrayed as some kind of martyr and the officer a murderer.
And his family have the gall to demand justice, how about justice for all the victims of Kaba??
The world has gone mad, why do we entertain this nonsense?
Kaba was a violent criminal and no doubt the family all demanding justice knew all about it and probably benefited financially from the proceeds of his criminality.
Good riddance I say, saves us taxpayers the cost of keeping him in prison.
