Watching BBC News (UK) reporting hordes of White protesters at Scotland Yard protesting about the death of Black #chriskaba I’m trying to recall TV reporting on the crowds of Black protesters doing the same after the murder of a White pensioner #ThomasOHallloran ?
IT DIDN’T HAPPEN 🤬
So it sounds like Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan has pressured the new Metropolitan Police commissioner into suspending the officer involved in the #ChrisKaba shooting. Surely he has to go? Liz Truss Dan Wootton Lord Moylan
I stood in solitary with the family of #ChrisKaba on Saturday at the protest outside of Scotland Yard.
Telling and reliving my own past trauma was painful, yet important to do.

I was at this meeting and I very much supported the call to suspend the officer responsible.
The MET is already in special measures and this slow response to something as serious as this is just totally unacceptable. No confidence. No justice No peace.
#JusticeForChrisKaba
Don’t let white liberals co-opt #ChrisKaba and his families fight for #JusticeForChrisKaba
Our trauma is NOT tourist attraction ✊🏾
30 years on & still NO fitting legacy for #StephenLawrence racist death. Justice was served 19 years 2 late 4 Stephens family. The Criminal Justice System continues its brutality, negligence, lies & cover ups. Families should never have 2 carry this alone. #chriskaba #ShekuBayoh
Following the stabbing of Two MET Police Officers this morning, isn’t it time Labour MPs & especially Sadiq Khan were placed in ‘Special Measures’ before being sacked #ChrisKaba #ProtectOurPolice

Do you have sympathy for / Support Chris Kaba or the Police Officer that carried out his duties and stopped Kaba commiting his crimes? #ChrisKaba
Chris Kaba’s cousin says Chris’ fiancé was supposed to be planning a baby shower, not a funeral. Unspeakably heartbreaking. #ChrisKaba #JusticeforChrisKaba
If #ChrisKaba had been been white the officer would still be on duty, also let’s be clear HE WAS INVOLVED IN FIREARMS!!! Let me put it this way are you going to wait til you are looking down the barrel of a gun (your dead already) 2 be sure he may or may not have it on him ?
In other news, the Metropolitan Police have promised, out of respect for the Queen, not to shoot any unarmed Black men on Monday 19th.
#ChrisKaba
The funeral of #ChrisKaba is taking place today. He died in September having been shot by a metropolitan police officer. He was unarmed. Today his family remember their son. I was invited to cover the event by the family as a trusted journalist. BBC News (UK)
Please please PLEASE don't try to tell us that #ChrisKaba was some kind of hero. He wasn't. He was a career criminal with a history of gun crime. Exactly NOT the sort of man you want boys to look up to as a role model.
EXCLUSIVE: Chris Kaba, the 24 yr old who was shot dead by a police officer in London in September, converted to Islam about a year before his death. Chris's cousin confirmed this to 5Pillars and called on Muslims to show solidarity with campaigners over his killing. #ChrisKaba
