This reporting is malicious. It's designed to disinform to stoke racial turmoil and chaos. Consider how deliberate this wording is, and that it's buried right at the end of the article:

>The construction worker, who was months away from becoming a father when he was shot, died in hospital the following day.

>It later emerged the Audi Mr Kaba was driving, which did not belong to him, had been linked by police to a gun incident the day before.

It almost sounds as if Chris Kaba was a law-abiding family man in the wrong place at the wrong time. Having not heard of this case before now, I looked it up, and this man in fact was in the process of conspiring with six others to brutalize and murder another man, was followed and blocked by police, refused to comply with orders, and attempted to flee (putting the officers in harm's way) when an officer fired the fatal shot.

No doubt this disinformation contributed to the false sense of injustice that led to protests by blacks under the impression that they are being targeted by racist, murderous police. No doubt White Brits will be appalled and dumbfounded by the breakdown of law and justice in their indigenous homeland as violent criminals and their kin react with shock and uproar when encountering resistance by law enforcement.

Utterly disgraceful.

Where did you read about Chris Kaba? I've only read a few quick articles on the topic and they didnt give much useful detail about the case

And the legal investigation can find as such. That's what legal processes are for.

The fact that the police are protesting the legal process, as opposed to a conviction is terrible.

Also, the fact that the guy was a criminal does not make it ok for the police to use their weapons and kill him. In fact, if he was indeed fleeing then that almost certainly is against the rules they are required to follow in the UK as part of the wide latitude to inflict violent force that is granted to the police.

Welcome the media problem in the USA. How many riots have we had for the exact same reasons you describe. Wag the Dog; Bread & Circus; etc. are alive & well.

I honestly can't think of any.
