Chris Kaba died in Streatham Hill, southeast London, in September 2022 after being shot through a car windscreen. An officer appeared in court earlier this week charged with his murder.
The Ministry of Defence has placed the army on standby to support the Metropolitan Police after armed officers handed in their weapons.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman has launched a review after a growing number of Scotland Yard officers turned in their firearms following a force marksman being charged with the murder of Chris Kaba.
The Ministry of Defence confirmed it will now assist the police with specific tasks when needed after the Met requested military support for counter-terrorism duties.

British society used to be so civil that the Bobbies were unarmed.

Looks like India has turned the tables on Britain. The Indian Raj has taken over - the PM is Indian, the mayot of London, Indian the home secretary, Luella, Indian...
Luella...

Chris Kaba was yet another HOC — Hoodlum of Color. He needed killing. The British press is trying to turn him into their very own Saint Floyd.

Nowhere in the article does it say why the shooting took place.
Anybody know why the cop shot the guy?

So, the end of England is at hand as British surrender and cower to their invaders. We risk the same here in the US.

Maybe it’s the UK way of reporting crimes, but it’s really odd. I just did a quick scan of a couple related stories. They say very little.
Was that guy armed? Or was he trying to run down a police officer? It’s evidently all a big secret.

It’s not clear why the cop pulled the trigger, but the Audi the guy was driving was related to a “firearms incident” the day before. The cops boxed in the car, and ordered him out.
The cop shot him through the windshield, hitting him in the back of his head(?!?). No gun was found in the car.

India certainly has its flaws, but it is a vast and ancient land, with centuries of culture to its credit. India has managed empires before. The US, on the other hand, is basically being conquered by Guatemala. Or maybe Ghana. It's embarrassing.

Have you been to India? It is a tribal cess pool, which should be kept out of the US.

Looks like India has turned the tables on Britain. India has its eyes on the U.S. too.
