  1.  @saabsa  Kaba was endangering the lives of policemen by driving directly at them, trying to ram his way out of a road block. Kaba had a criminal record and was known to have handled fire arms. I've been pulled over by the cops on several occasions. I never endangered the lives of coppers by trying to ram my way out, and I've never been shot dead.

  2. I can honestly say that on the several times the police have flagged me down in my car, I never once endangered the lives of coppers by trying to ram them with my car, and I've never once been shot dead.

  3. Notice how the journalist refers to wholly unrelated tales of police errors and criminality. The journalist barely mentions Kaba's criminal history, his brandishing of fire arms or the violent lyrics of his music. Perhaps Kaba's criminal activities and his glorification of violence was more relevant than the unrelated tales of historic police failures by officers who were sacked for their deeds.

  4.  @leighannclements7849  So the criminal was shot BEFORE he actually killed anybody? That's damned bad timing. The police should've waited until cops had been crushed and crippled BEFORE opening fire.

  5.  @silentmajority8365  I've been stopped by the police several times. I never tried to ram the cops or their cars out of my way. No cops ever shot and killed me. Somehow, NOT ramming cops and NOT getting shot seem to be related.

  6. The new BBC chairman is an Indian-born M zz lyme. I can't write the word properly because YT bans every comment where I do so.

  7. I've been stopped by the police whilst driving my car on several occasions. I never tried to outrun the cops or ram my way out after being cornered. I've never been shot dead by the police. Somehow, NOT ramming cops and NOT getting shot might be related in some way.

  8.  @jsmith4230  I click on "REPLIES" and yours disappears. Looks like YouTube has put your comment in the Naughty Box for writing the truth.

  9. State-owned broadband works well in China. What could possibly go wrong?!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. A big violent drugged-up angry man gets handcuffed and put in a cell. It's hard to know what else the cops could have done. Sometimes the fault lies with the individual and with the absence of familial care.

  11. Usual unbalanced and nasty reporting by Channel 4.

  15. Agreed, but he was only left alone in the cell for three minutes. The cops weren't to know that he'd turn from an angry shrieking violent man to a corpse in so little time. Sometimes the cops have an impossible task.

  16.  @leighannclements7849  Instead of shooting Kaba BEFORE Kaba rammed into him with a two ton car, the officer should have waited until AFTER he'd been crushed and killed. That would've worked, right? Right? Yeah all good.

  19.  Tony wynn  You didn't get shot and killed by armed coppers either? Are you w*1te? There are people who'll claim you've benefitted from systemic racial privilege. "See this white guy was stopped by the cops and didn't get shot. Yet a career criminal who's done time and threatens the lives of coppers gets murdered for nuthin".

  20.  @andersongooding6703  Duggan threw the weapon over the hedge into the field beyond. Career criminals should surrender to the police, not run. I've been arrested on two or three occasions, and I wouldn't necessarily trust the coppers either. Coppers who hesitate might end their shift in a hospital or a pine box, as per the two coppers stabbed in Leicester Square a few days ago. A career criminal might outrun armed coppers, but not their bullets.

  22.  @andersongooding6703  As a white bloke, I myself could be shot dead by the police if I do dangerous things. Please Google the shooting of Stephen Waldorf during the 1980s. We need the cops to be cautious about opening fire. We need to investigate EVERY shooting, in case the cop was trigger-happy, as with the Waldorf shooting. From the information revealed to date, the shooting of Kaba appears justified. It appears this shooting had nothing to do with race.

  23.  @bonsummers2657  Sorry, when I see "Word" I think of Peter Griffin.

  24.  @raquirella2542  Both you and I distrust the police. But I'm certain it was clear to the victimthat he'd been stopped by the police during the minute before the shooting. The only reasons he might've had for driving through the police are: (1.) He wanted to escape the cops, or - (2.) He assumed he was surrounded by rival drug dealers.

  25.  @ukcomicjunkie7433  I'm pleased the cops carefully investigated the matter. The white journalist Stephen Waldorf was shot by a cop in the 1980s in a case of mistaken identity. The next victim could be you or I. Bringing charges doesn't necessarily indicate he's likely to be guilty. Sometimes a trial in public can clear the air and leaves zero doubt as to guilt or none. A cop's anonymity must be maintained unless he's found guilty. Otherwise there might be vengeful rioting vigilantes at his door.

  26.  @wvvwwvwvv  Neither Channel 4 nor the BBC are impartial. They can't report ANYTHING without blaming the afr irght.

  27. Agreed. UKIP only succeeded in the Euro elections because a different electoral system was used. A party like Reform could gain one third of the national vote without gaining a single seat. Labour will win the next GE, not because they'll increase their vote, but because regular Tory voters can't be bothered to leave their couches.

  28.  @gee_emm  He was handcuffed to protect himself and the people who arrested him. Paramedics couldn't attend to the guy unless he was handcuffed first. He was left in a cell for THREE MINUTES and died in that time. White guys would've been dealt identically. Where's the racism?

  29.  @fjdjsjsjsjjsjdbdbsbbd6689  He killed himself by making bad life choices. His family contributed by failing to support him. He died in the THREE MINUTES he was left alone. Nobody could've seen that coming.

  30.  @fjdjsjsjsjjsjdbdbsbbd6689  So you're the son of Leon Briggs?

  31.  @fjdjsjsjsjjsjdbdbsbbd6689  When you write "Don't tell me about my own dad", it implies Leon Briggs was your father. Leon Briggs was a screaming, angry violent man who was restrained for the protection of the police, himself and any paramedics who might have attended. Leaving the man unattended for three minutes isn't unreasonable.

  32.  @fjdjsjsjsjjsjdbdbsbbd6689  The commentary says Briggs had a "drug-induced psychotic episode". Drugs killed him. Being arrested by the police had nothing to do with it. A white male would have been dealt with identically. Racism had nothing to do with it. The next time there's a big drug-crazed angry man, screaming and behaving violently, shouting and swearing and spitting and biting and throwing punches and wrestling and grabbing, maybe YOU should deal with the guy WITHOUT cuffing him. If you leave him alone for THREE MINUTES, maybe YOU should be accused of racist murder.

  33.  @gee_emm  Actually you're wrong. The incidence of black/white deaths in custody in the UK is virtually identical, taking into account the population sizes. The number of people dying in custody is thankfully tiny, and you're fractionally MORE likely to die in custody if you're white. Go on, look it up. As for protection: If a big man is going berserk in a public place, the safest thing for EVERYBODY is to put him in cuffs.

  34.  @fjdjsjsjsjjsjdbdbsbbd6689  The news report states within 30 seconds that he suffered a "drug-induced psychotic episode". Is that false?

  35.  @fjdjsjsjsjjsjdbdbsbbd6689  If I was Margaret Briggs, I'd have a good cause to complain to Channel 4.

  36.  @gee_emm  Yeah, but only because he was cuffed.

  39. That's usually the case if no name was issued. Not sure this applies this time.

  40. That's what Peter Griffin would do.

  41. ALTERNATIVE NARRATIVE AGAINST CHANNEL 4'S SPIN: A big violent angry drugged-up man is handcuffed for his own protection and put in a police cell. He dies a mere THREE MINUTES after the cell door is closed. The cops could not have known this would have happened. It's claimed he was denied medical care. How long would it take to get paramedics to the man? More than three minutes I'd guess. Paramedics are not required to give medical care to angry violent shrieking men. They'd be within their training to refuse assistance. Every hospital has signage saying so. The claim of racism is completely fabricated and deliberately inflammatory, because a white man would have received identical attention. The fault lies with Mr. Briggs's own life decisions, plus the absence of care afforded him by his family during the days and years prior to his death. Stupid is as stupid does.
