Current Affairs Met Police

He hadn't been charged. The shooting was less than a week before, and through the investigation the car he was in was seen heading to and fleeing the scene.

Kaba, alongside a few other known gang members, were known to drive the vehicle, and the intelligence suggested he may have been the gunman.

This was why the car had a marker on it. This is why the stop was authorised, for as you say, he needed to be taken into custody for a prompt investigation.

It's also why the driver of the vehicle perceived a risk to the public, and not merely the police. Based on all evidence available, he'd have got a lengthy custodial.

Which would explain why he tried to ram his way out, to avoid arrest and a potential lengthy jail sentence.
 
The question I would ask, is why having been charged with attempted murder the week before, why wasn’t he on remand ?

The lad was obviously a serious and dangerous criminal, with access to firearms, loads of previous for violent offences and had been charged with an offence one down from murder.

Surely he should’ve been taken n custody on the grounds of likely to commit further serious offences and for the safety / interference of any witnesses pending any trial.

If he’d been on remand he’d still be alive too.
Loveable rouge I think the correct term is
 
His family fought for all the details released today to be kept from the public realm. The CCTV footage included in this video is shocking.


Yeah, just reading about it. It's inverse crying wolf - all the times the police have done racially charged/dubious stuff means the one time they didn't no one believes them.

Family knew what they were doing as well. Shameful.

Telegraph article reports that the copper was named despite very credible evidence of a threat to him and his family from the gang Kabba was part of.

 
I suppose if you run around with a gun shooting people there is a significantly greater chance you could get shot by the Police. If you don’t go running around with a gun shooting people the chances of getting shot by the Police are significantly reduced. That’s the way I see it anyway

I’m surprised any police officer in London wants to be an armed response officer tbh.

It would appear that in this case, that despite the serious threat to the officers life and that of his family, the rules of anonymity only went one way.

Might explain why the creeps and nutters like Wayne Couzens end up there. No one in their right mind wants to!
 
Their Twitter name aroused my suspicion. Their first pinned post confirmed it

Yeah, this is the other side of this. It'll embolden all the anti-blm, immigrant culture wars types.

Steady on fellas, the moral here for all sides is take things on a case by case basis and don't jump to conclusions.
