Chris Kaba development
Jump to: Newest in thread
What was in danger of becoming a UK ‘George Floyd’ moment has been diffused.
His cousin quit his job after raising in excess of 30k on a crowd funding platform. He was a teacher and I’ve no doubt he didn’t follow the protocol of not resigning during term, but, however. He was planning to campaign against the racist met police. Chris Kaba was from the Congo with a firearms conviction, so a small time gangster. Driving someone else’s Audi 4x4 that was flagged on ANPR as past involvement with firearms. He was asked to stop but decided on a high speed chase through south London. Eventually boxed in he then decided to try and ram his way free and was about to run over a policeman who shot him dead.
The family were outraged and the likes of Diane Abbot got involved, as did Corbyn . Thankfully the policeman was wearing a body cam. On showing the film to the family they have decided not to pursue things further.
Will the 30k be returned? |

"Always best to let the relevant authorities to do their investigations, before jumping to any conclusion.
Never ever any winners in incidents like this."
Very true, but unfortunately it doesn't stop people and organisations trying to take a win out of a tragedy.
I can see us getting to the same place as the US in releasing body cam footage to the public very quickly to settle tensions built up by assumption and bad actors. |

I think camera footage should be widespread and released quickly
Truth must come out and cone out quick, whether it shows the police's actions to be justified or not

"So, being only vaguely aware of the case, does the footage show the shooting to be justified?"
police still seem to have shot an unarmed man & failed to properly stop a dangerously driven car |

what are you saying, leading with "seem" makes me feel you haven't got any facts.
Happy to be corrected if you have more information. |

The family lost a son, their grief and outrage is understandable. Unfortunately the usual left wing dimwits and police haters rushed to exploit their situation. Clearly the cam footage supported the police account. |

Having looked into it they shot a man who was attempting to run over an officer, using his own vehicle as a weapon
Now, I distrust police, but this app looks above board on the face of it
He fucked around and found out
Fuck him |

"Where did all the people saying it was clearly a racially motivated attack gone?
Suddenly very quiet. How weird "
It's a go job they have these body cams so the actual events can be seen. Without such items this could have sparked unrest. Are these latest events being widely reported, I have not seen any but also not really looked for it. |

I don't think we'll be the same as the US.
We won't need to be releasing footage quickly to the public, because the frequency of these events is nowhere near theirs. Our population aren't armed, the police generally aren't armed and don't execute black people for robbing $20. I genuinely don't think we're heading towards a US model for this stuff. |

There are people in this country wanting and waiting for an incident similar to Floyd. This incident got people marching, protesting and that could have easily turned to unrest.
I think incidents and accusations of police brutality will increase. |

I honestly don't know how much of a problem racism is within the British police. But it can't be anything like it is in the states, can it? Doesn't seem so. |

You would need to ask someone who is on the receiving end about that. |

Why, would being on the recieving end give them access to statistics that the rest of us don't have? |

It isn't always about racism......!
When the police are doing their job, they are dealing with all types of people, some dangerous and wishing to either escape or do them harm. Accidents will happen and do when dealing with these types, and the body cam footage will become more and more of a tool to defuse the hatred stirred up by those wishing to cause unrest, whilst also keeping the police accountable for their actions, like in this case. |

Some People want to see a version of the US in the UK
The people that instantly drummed up that this was a racially motivated killing should see legal action in my opinion. You cant scream fire in a crowded theatre, and you shouldn’t be able to rule up racial issues in an attempt to cause rioting without consequences either. |

Of course they are. Incidents like this are a golden opportunity for hard-Left and black radical groups.
Look at pics of any of the protests and vigils and you'll see the usual rentacrowd Leftists with their Socialist Workers Party banners, Stand Up to Racism banners (SUTR is a front group for the SWP), placards calling to defund the police, people giving clenched fist salutes screaming "black lives matter."
Where are these same protesters when a young black man is stabbed to death? Nowhere. They're not interested. There's no angle in it for them to exploit.
Just like in Animal Farm, their slogan needs to be amended:
Some Black Lives Matter. |

Personally, I find it ridiculous that you're suggesting that only the "hard left" oppose racism. What a horrendously cynical view of everyone else in society.
And I'm not sure how you are linking this weird view to the points on this thread. |

Very few people are "hard left" so to suggest that that specific group are the only people opposed to racism seems cynical.
This has absolutely nothing to do with my point of view. I was commenting on theirs.
You seem to spend a lot of time having a pop at me on multiple treads, instead of engaging in the discussions. Would you prefer me not to be here taking part? What is it that compels you to keep doing this? |

I appreciate you being here and respect your consistency, however I think you default to a position of "racism' or it is "unfair" as a default argument when pushed.
I'm not here to change your point of view, because it is your belief, but you should expect challenge when you promote your point of view and then go onto call others cynical who have different opinion to you.

I don't think we'll be the same as the US.
We won't need to be releasing footage quickly to the public, because the frequency of these events is nowhere near theirs. Our population aren't armed, the police generally aren't armed and don't execute black people for robbing $20. I genuinely don't think we're heading towards a US model for this stuff.
There are people in this country wanting and waiting for an incident similar to Floyd. This incident got people marching, protesting and that could have easily turned to unrest.
I think incidents and accusations of police brutality will increase.
I don't believe anyone is actively wanting these things to happen. That's a very cynical view.
I honestly don't know how much of a problem racism is within the British police. But it can't be anything like it is in the states, can it? Doesn't seem so."
We had 4 political leaders that had brown skin: surely that is bad news for racists. |
