Corbyn makes my skin crawl.

As far as I know he's just been suspended. I don't know what led to Kaba being shot but could he not have been tazered?

I usually respect Jeremy Corbyn, he stands for what he believes in and is a pacifist.

But I am led to believe that this situation is not as clear cut as being reported. The police officer has been suspended and the situation will be investigated.

Mass protests just stir people up.

Good Lord...this is the first I'm reading anout this shooting. How awful.
I don't know how I missed it.

Perhaps Corbyn is trying to pour oil on troubled waters by reassuring those touched by this death that there will be an open and fair investigation.

tiggerblue10,no they could not tazer him he would not get out of the car,he was trying to escape by ramming the police cars blocking him in.

Noop
of course
There is quite a lot in the dailies

The law is straightforward - if the police think ( 'aver') that they are in danger of being shot at, then it is lawful for them to shoot and kill.

There have been several lengthy cross-examinations on why men reached for guns they knew they didnt have...starting with the Gibralty shootings of 1988

This time, the police shooter was suspended within a day or so. Like the doctor suspensions of the GMC, this is known to be neutral and NOT the first act in an inevitable striking off. And allows guilt free and free and fair investigation

The minorities have been revolting because we are in a post-Stephen Lawrence era - and much less prepared to put up with the usual nonsense. Post-Boris, Gully would say, but I dont want this post filtered by a fair-minded mod.

The police are known to hold Chinese parliaments where the squad's story is agreed.

My own completely unsupported view is that they viewed the body cam footage- since we are in an oops-sozza-sarge-I-forgot era, and found it went against ( refuted) the agreed story

I have no evidence to support that statement

facts so far
Kaba was in a car that he was not registered for
The car was on the PNC for drug dealing
and.... report of a firearm.

so as is cast in stone, there is a hard stop by a firearms squad

the driver ( Kaba) tried to drive out of the scene by crashing into one police car ( and moving it a bit) and then driving into another - to create a gap

and was shot in the head. EMTs called ( emergency medical techs). But honestly as with Kennedy (pres that is 1962) there is not much you can do in a patient without a brain. ( info from my senr sixer first aid badge 1958 1/2)

we can discuss this as no one has been charged

post-sozza oops I forgot
goddamit

is this the pure and innocent Mr Kaba.
