Good for you mate. Looking at the facts instead of appealing to this victim narrative. If Kaba was a good man who was targeted and not a danger to society, then I would agree with this outrage. Need more people in your community to come to their senses 👍

@Simulacrum84 It’s not at all. If you think I’m being bigoted, let’s compare Stephen Lawrence to Kaba. Stephen, wasn’t involved with gangs, was viscously assaulted and murdered by random Neo Nazi thugs, had his investigation bollocks’d up by incompetent police. And it took years for his family to get some half arsed semi justice. He and his family have my sympathies. Completely get the outrage at the police. Complete lack of justice. Kaba, was a gang member, had charges for firearms and assaulting his ex, was driving a car suspected of being involved in a shooting incident, didn’t comply with police and very probably endangered an officer.

@Simulacrum84 Well yer I suppose.

You’d be singing a very different tune if the gang kaba was a part of, hurt one of your family. I’m sure other black kids have been victims. Then you would moan that the police don’t care about protecting you because they’re racist. They’re damned if they do, and damned if they don’t.

@lifeisblessed4802 Nope, by the fact they’re armed response. They have a legal right to use deadly force if the situation warrants it. And I’m pretty sure this did. He drove his car at the officer. Put yourself in that situation and imagine the fear you would feel. These people have a family to go home too, they don’t want to get flattened by some gang banger. The level of scrutiny in this case seems to be ridiculous. Probably to appease BLM and the media’s never ending thirst for grievance politics. Police trying to save their image and have put this poor sod up as a sacrificial lamb. Kaba is not a victim.

@JAY1892 Ha I feel your pain bro

@Simulacrum84 If it turns out that the media had lied. And that he wasn’t acting erratically and being a danger, then I will eat some humble pie. But at the moment I believe his fate was self inflicted.

Vengeance more like…

The absolute irony….🙄

@wretcher65 Yer BS. If he was driving towards an armed officer, how could it be murder?? The guy’s life was in danger. Kaba was a legit criminal and violent POS person. They’re doing this to appease the BLM lot who only care that Kaba was black. They’re not interested in justice. They want vengeance. And the police are so terrified of a scandal, they’ll do anything to protect their tattered reputation. Even use one of their own as a sacrificial lamb.

@lifeisblessed4802 You also weren’t there. But we have had information coming out about what happened. Based on that, the officer in my opinion, did what he had to do. But it doesn’t matter to you. Even if Kaba had pointed a gun directly at this officer you would still want him punished. Because I’m guessing you hate the police and they can do no right in your eyes. The arrogance of writing “the end” is a big giveaway to how closed minded you are.

All police should refuse to carry their weapons after this. Total stitch up by an institution trying to protect its tattered reputation. They’re appeasing BLM gimps who have no interest in justice, only vengeance. Kaba’s stupidity was the reason for his death. The world will be better without him.

@captainshapes7486 Bright intelligent man, who beat his missus, went to prison for firearm possession, was part of a gang and who refused to stop for police 🤡

@spennynash I bet you spent half an hour writing that…

@Simulacrum84 It’s not “black man got what he deserved” it’s “kaba got what he deserved”. But yer I get your overall point.

@Simulacrum84 Well the fact that BLM jumped on this and span some BS narrative, definitely pushed the focus onto race. People can’t seem to see this case in any other way except through the lense of Identity politics. I don’t judge Kaba’s character on his skin colour, I judge it based on his criminal past. But I agree, with video evidence in court, let their actions speak for themselves.
1
@Simulacrum84 No of course his past doesn’t justify or warrant some death sentence. But it’s definitely something that gives us an idea on who he was. And why he might have acted the way he did. His actions that night caused his death. This wasn’t some premeditated hit job. The policeman feared for his life.

@Simulacrum84 Also I don’t get my answers from Reddit. I look into what the media reports. Usually left and right leaning to get a balance of things. If incorrect info has been published, then it’s hardly my fault. Like everyone else in 2023, that’s how I get my news.
