- Chris Kaba’s family led protests outside the Old Bailey after a Metropolitan Police officer was cleared of his murder.
A jury at the Old Bailey acquitted Martyn Blake after around three and a half hours of deliberation on Monday (21 October).
Mr Blake, 40, stood trial after shooting the 24-year-old through the front windscreen of an Audi Q8 in Streatham, south-east London, on 5 September 2022.
On Monday evening, more than 100 people gathered outside the Old Bailey, where a number of speakers demanded “justice” for Mr Kaba and his family.
A banner that said, “We Keep Each Other Safe” was held.
Chants of “Say his name - Chris Kaba” were heard outside the court as police closed off the road to traffic.
Mr Kaba’s cousin also spoke about how the family watched footage showing Mr Kaba being killed at the start of the trial and her auntie started “shaking uncontrollably” and crying.

The police didn't fail ur son . U failed to raise him right.
That maybe true or untrue however what excuse did Wayne couzens parents and wife have for his conduct, his dad had a car garage in Kent few miles from tanners scrap yard ya know tanner in shoebury pedo ring police covered up remember Jason swift mark tildsley
So not right this comment
@@tekkerz3183 So why do these same ppl never make a noise for uk children whos lifes are taken? It's because its about "identity politics" because the justice system made its decision end of.
Why is
@@tekkerz3183he’s dad went to get milk 🥛 n never returned
Ramming a police car whilst lots of armed police are attempting to stop you , blue lights flashing . shouting “stop! Armed police” isn’t rly amazing decision making
Plus a day before the ‘incident’ kaba had shot a rival gang member.
Hard to feel bad for him or his family.
I am black law abiding citizen and I support the court decision, it's time now for us black people to take responsibilities for our own actions and stop using racism card to hide our failure in the society..he was a Gang member who attempted to kill another person and no one is mentioning that, besides he even attempted to kill police officers by using his car as a weapon and he did not succeed
He tried to murder another black man. Yet there is no outrage. It’s selective and people are becoming tired of it. Thank you for your honest comment, you are a citizen like everyone else who just wants safe streets.
@@RgjDj1878 you're very right to notice that, no outrage when he attempted to kill another black man.
Thank you.
The black community will not prosper while the victim card is constantly played
👏👏👏👏
Victim card denied.
"Computer says no" 🤣
Lol 😂
Kaba ended himself through his stupidity
Mr Kaba’s family said was "painful proof that our lives are not valued by the system". Yes Criminals are not valued by the system thank you for clearing that up Mr Kaba.
There are many many respectful law abiding people black white or whatever ,BUT THERE A A LOT OF CRIMINALS BLACK WHITE,WHATEVER,SO WHATEVER THIS FAMILY PROTEST HE WAS A SERIOUS CRIMONAL !! ITS NIT ABOUT COLOUR ITS DOWN TO OBEYING THE LAWS OF THE LAND.BY ALL
Chris Kaba was no innocent but it is still heartbreaking as he was still their relative.

@@BritishPatriot69 No pun intended right 😂
Why are they protesting? They should be holding their heads in their hands in embarrassment that one of their family was a criminal. ‘No justice’? I think the innocent law abiding people of London got justice.
Facts
This is for money not justice
Exactly 💯 these privileged lefties.. make a living doing these protests,
It's the same ppl you see all the time (never saw them for the victims up North, or the children in Liverpool) instead they come out calling ppl who are just simply doing the same as them! That's standing for the most vulnerable 🇬🇧 ppl that need a voice.
@@davesilkstone6912what else could it be ?
They tried to gag the truth but their injunction failed. The truth is out that their boy was a gangster.
The judge presiding over Blake's trial didn't permit details of Kaba's past to be brought to the court's attention. Now the trial's over the details have been made public.
@@geoffpoole483 the family tried to extend the order. They wanted to keep up the lie that this gangster gunman was an aspiring architect.

He wasn't even a gangster. He was a thug.

Why even give theses clowns attention?
Defending Kaba at this point is ridiculous.
Kaba's "interesting" past wasn't made public at the trial. Now the trial's over the court's have permitted publication.
It's the Independent, liberals virtue signalling 'racism', that's why they show a crowd screaming. It's what liberals do.
@@geoffpoole483Which is disgusting when you think about it.
Reasonable force is judged by what you Reasonably think would have been the outcome if you didn't take that action and whether that belief was reasonable.
What is known by the person taking that action should absolutely be told to the jury to be able to make a fair assessment of whether the belief was reasonable.
Kaba tried to kill a man with an illegal gun. That significantly changes how reasonable it is to think he'd kill someone to get away or pull a gun out at any moment. Extremely prejudicial not to allow that to be known when the coppers taking the shot knew.
Iopc just wanted to imprison an innocent police officer so the criminal mob didn't riot. 2 tier justice system
@@falynch It could have worked against the copper too, as jury might have interpreted it as causing prejudice, and you can bet the prosecution would have played on this as reasonable force only applies to the situation in hand. So it was right to exclude it in the interests of a fair trial, as either viewpoint would have jeopardised that.
The victimhood is frankly disgusting
The black community doesn't care about black lives only hating on whitey. Black activist got shot in the head infront of dozens of other black witnesses, and not a single one of them came forward to give a description of the attacker for her to get justice. Not 1 of her so-called friends.
All the children murdered by other black people crickets. White police officer rightfully shots an attempted murderer while actively trying to run over police officers with a car - protests and threats of riots.
He should NEVER have gone on trial in the first place, a miscarriage of justice avoided... which makes a change.
Which trial? The ones where he was imprisoned previously? He was a gang member and previously caught with guns, and shot someone in a nightclub before this happened.
@@petersimmons3654he’s talking about the officer NX121
@@petersimmons3654 They are talking about the copper. Should never have faced trial for just doing his (very difficult) job.
i just see about 100 people inciting a riot.
They’re imbeciles
These won't be jailed tho unlike the other ones rioting other the deaths of those little girls
You raised a thug but it is every one else fault
I wonder how many lives his criminal gang activities ruined.
Anyone remember what happend to Sasha Johnson?
She was a black activist who got shot in the head at a party by the same "gangstas" she claimed didn't exist.
Now she's a vegetable.. 🤦🏼
True ,,but nobody care about his victims,,,,his family doesn't see his crimes as problem
and she wanted white men turned into slaves for black racists.
Sadly, she brought it onto herself. Violent rhetoric, violent friends leads to bad conclusions.
i thinkt she might have been a vegetable before you know
Always was......

@@stevenbryson3891I don’t think so, attempted murder with a firearm, out in 4
That guy was a career criminal
Yes he was.
they should be charged with inciting unrest violence
A vehicle with known ties to firearms (in a country where the population is not allowed to own them) is followed by police.
The vehicle gets stopped at a road block.
The driver refuses to leave the vehicle when approached.
The driver then rams a police vehicle with his own.
The police then fire a single shot into the driver of the vehicle that has connections to firearms.
The driver later dies of his injuries.
How in the hell is this guy in any way a victim?!
The population CAN own firearms though. Yeah, we can't just walk into a store and (after background checks) buy a firearm then go home it's not that difficult to get a license.
@@dodo19923 Wrong.
@@geoffpoole483 Nope. Not wrong. Firearms ownership isn't that hard in the UK, just requires checks and licensing.
@@bantaburywhat guns are you allowed to own in the UK?? Also would you be able to defend yourself if say armed assailants broke into your home. As I believe guns must be locked up and in a different location to ammunition. Correct me if I am wrong about that.

When you are pulled over in a car that’s not your don’t try and run. A cars a weapon. Acting and thinking like your a gangster when your not ain’t going to turn out well.
Except he was a gangsta! And likely to be armed.
He was a gangster and was being chased because he shot someone with an illegal gun and was wanted for attempted murder and firearms offences
illegal gun huh
Look at them all with their Palestinian Scarfs, what a joke! Your Son was a Thug involved with a gang of armed robbers, you should be ashamed of him!
Same ppl that didn't say a word in regards to the children in Liverpool.
Ppl are starting to see these privileged lefties for who they are "hypocrites" always same ppl who claim to be for "humanity" when it's basically to suit their own agenda.
Nothing to do with scarves, no link at all, and no 'all with their scarves' so shut it. He was a criminal and had previously shot a man in a nightclub, this is simply the same old racism claims, but it would have been the same if he had been an armed white criminal. Try to keep to the point.
Protestors very cheap to hire
The same family who tried this once before until they were shown the footage.. deeeeeeeport.
Offended by everything, ashamed of nothing !
Their ancestors proved that their lives don't matter
@@7th.trumpet Perfect
Just pure BS.
Always the victims lmao dude tried to run over people after being in a shooting and they screaming justice 😂
Who can you see getting run over in video
So these clowns are demonstrating in support of a violent thug...we have strange heros nowadays,how can his mother even stand there and come out with this nonsense.
They don't care about black lives only hating whitey. If they did they'd have raised their kids better so he didn't go around trying to murder other black people to get chased by the police in the first place.
Because there's always someone in today's society that will ignore the parents responsibility and support them in their victimhood
What man cheers for a man who’s pregnant girlfriend had to get a restraining order against him!?😂😂😂
Pretty sure there's women protesting as well.
The cycle repeats

@@Davo-z8x good point, I guess only black cops can legally do their job anymore.
No justice for the police who he tried to kill with his car.
Tell me you never spoke up for the crimes we see endlessly that don't involve "identity politics" its a case that's gone to court (its been decided) so it's time ppl accepted the decision! Like you definitely would if it suited your political beliefs.
@@uniquevideosUkso does it suit your political beliefs at the moment. So you don't want the narrative to change ??
I've never been shot by police. Nor have I ever been in a gun wielding gang, or rammed police cars. Strange that.

Your son was a perpetrator so why not protest about that as well or do you just turn a blind eye to that ‘cause you benefited from his proceeds?

How embarrassing are this family?
Pathetic he was a criminal.
A member of a London gang FFS ? And the family won't stop moaning until they get a payout.
They may even get a title!@
Mindless morons on the march......
"Police don't care about us, they're leaving us too be murdered"
Police try to arrest a man who's tried to murder other black people and tried to kill the coppers resulting in him justly getting shot
"Police are racist, how dare they they, he's innocent"
Couldn't make it up.
Police need to protect us from people like that , and they did !
Simpletons
Your victim card is revoked.
So he shot someone outside of a club then rammed a police car? How is he the victim?
The family and friends of this criminal should be ashamed of themselves. The must have known he as a gang members. Its people like this who makes it harder for people seeking true justice. This man was clearly a menace to society.
Kaba's actions that night were clearly based on not wanting to go back to prison, which is understandable, but yesterdays trial verdict was not about him but about whether the cop could justify his actions and the jury decided that he could. I do not see how race has any relevance in this case.
Because he was shot for being black. If he was white he would be alive. White criminals make it to jail
Absolutely no sense of accountability
Chris’s family should be looking at how they brought him up.
he was told 100 times to stop the car
he didn't did he
This criminal tried to kill the police using his car as a weapon. What don't his family and friends understand ?
They understand they just don't care. They don't care about black lives only hating on whitey and playing the victim for being held accountable for their crimes
same old story... at least this time no victim card granted to a criminal
What are these blacks on about,he got justice .
Look at the state of this. All of these grifters openly supporting someone who shot up a nightclub. Openly supporting a convicted domestic abuser who wasn’t allowed to see the mother of his child for her own safety.
Openly supporting someone with a criminal history going back to when he was 13 years old and someone who’s spent years in jail.
Kaba certainly got justice in the end.
If officer had been found guilty what would they say
Law breaker driving car illegally at police.Reap what you sow.
I have no sympathy for him or his family.
How about his family go and make reparations to his victims?
Protesting for a criminal who tried to run over a Policeman, how sad a society we are living in. In a car which was or had been carrying firearms. ermmmmmm 🤫
Usual Suspects, 0 Thought process
These people defending this guy, his family included, are the real problem here.
Gang member. Suspect in a shooting. Didn't stop for police..tried to ram them. What else could go wrong?
Didn’t this guy try to run over the police after they warned him to stop while pointing guns at him? And he still ignored them? What did he think would happen? Maybe he played too much GTA.
About 30 people there also...that tells you what most people think.
You should be ashamed of your son !
Kaba’s father noticeably absent.
That's a shocker there!
Just like he would be be when his child-to-be was born.
Choirboy on his way to evensong he was not. Eulogising a violent thug is not doing anything for his supporters. When armed police tell you to stop, stop. It ain’t hard. You’ve had your trial, the officer had to grip the rail and now he’s acquitted. Live with it and move on.
He fought the law and as the song says law won.
They should be ASHAMED of him.
Evidently, they think his actiona are perfectly normal and acceptable
'But for his actions' is a statement in law. He'd still be alive if he hadn't acted the way he did!....
Someone looking for a pay out 😂
Follow the money...maybe. He was totally guilty ,and it was on camera's, What do they want. Assault with a deadly weapon. Get over yourself.
Parents won't take any responsibility for the bad upbringing and lack of guidance they give their children!
The family should be ashamed of themselves. I get that they are grieving, but quite simply, if their son simply got out of his car when asked to he wouldn't have got shot. He may well of got arrested for his potential involvement in other crimes but he only has himself to blame. The families protests are shocking and trying to play the black victim card is insulting.
Chris Kaba shot someone in the legs a few days before he was shot, judge has just revealed. Enough said.
Bet they feel stupid now his rap sheets been released ..
This is genuinely really embarrassing. The audacity of these people to be protesting 😂
Re pa rations
Ur son had it coming im afraid and the policeman should be given compensation for being made to feel guilty
The outcome is sad alas. But come one, he brought it on himself...
It’s a wonder we have any police left with what they have to put up with. I’ve lived in many countries, U.K. police are about the best.
Armed officers I have heard have been giving in their guns.
@@clivehowlett2006 The outcome of this trial will be a well deserved moral booster for them. The CPS are a disgrace in condoning this officers prosecution. I hope he returns to duty but it’s a big ask after what he’s been through.
Tragedy for Chris Kaba, but he was 'linked to notorious south London gang'. All victims of this gang should stand and shout - justice for victims.
True!
Horribly violent individual..his family should apologise to the police, society and his victims for his actions
Kaba's family knew he was a gangster, selling the public a story he was reformed trying to turn his life around when he was wanted for attempted murder & no doubt would have mowed down those Officers trying to escape.
Drug dealers off our streets.
Why victims family’s always play this game that victims are innocent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Respect Authority. Don't try and run away like a criminal.
You love the sight of the bootheel on others necks, but cry when you get told simply "no". Take your dusty old bigotry and grow a conscience. you should be ashamed of yourself. Especially hiding behind the comment section. pathetic bish
He was a criminal
Here we go again
This is upsetting all the right people.
What a bunch of hypocrites these protesters are 😂😂😂😂😂
How many of these guys know exactly how Kaba lead his life ? Asked to stop he tried to drive on
So he was charged with firearms offences, the rest of which had 10, 7 and 5 years prison time from that same job. He failed to stop for police and then tried to ram his way out. At what point is he culpable for his actions?
Just take accountability for your own failings. I blame the parents. Was his dad in his life?
Apparently in Londaon and other cities, top priority for getting a council house is as a SINGLE PARENT,??SURPRISINGLY LOTS OF CHILDREN OF SINGLE WOMEN GETS LOTS OF VISITS FROM THEIR '""" UNCLES""""
Victim mentality
More information has been released that says he was a core member of the. 67 gang in South London and that he was involved in a club shooting days before, my question is why did the met police hand the officer out to dry for two years neglecting this significant information being published.
Where are these people protesting when the gangs are killing each other ? Seems like justice was served 🤔
I think family have face up to he was a criminal who was involved in a suspected shooting the night before and had no thought of stopping getting out of the car his intention was to evade the police at any cost
Justice was awarded
Always someone else's fault
This is hilarious given all that has come out about Kaba the past few hours.
A bigger threat to his own community than the police could ever be.
