He has been in and out of prison for years and was likely to be charged with attempted murder.
Its a joke that he has been portrayed as some kind of innocent victim.
No doubt another angel family man. Crime from the age of 13, think the parents need to be looking in the mirror.

Yes. If true. Believed to have beaten up his pregnant girlfriend.Restraining order against his unborn child's mother for domestic violence I think.

Only just seen the people demanding justice outside the court, middle aged offended white women.
It's like when that guy from the specials grand son was killed in cov, all over the papers with t shirts with pictures of him on but where were the family to step in when he was robbing people at gun point?
The copper has his life ruined, and this guy goes down as some George Floyd second-coming hero.
The world is just fucked at the moment.
It‘s fucking laughable.The guy was a violent gangster. If he had put his hands up he would still be alive. Admittedly, facing an attempted murder charge, but alive.Another pathetic article from the BBC
Chris Kaba: Black Londoners traumatised, community leaders say
An interesting view on the Macpherson reportSimilarities with the Mark Duggan case. Take each on a case by case basis. The Met have A LOT to answer for, and I think the Macpherson Reports findings still seem to be relevant.
However, looks to me like this bloke was using his car as a weapon, putting lives at risk. I’m sure his friends and family will be upset but it’s difficult for others to feel too much empathy/sympathy.
This nonsense is part of the issue. Everybody else's fault all the time. Nobody taking responsibility.Another pathetic article from the BBC

Two tier justice system.This nonsense is part of the issue. Everybody else's fault all the time. Nobody taking responsibility.
It shouldn't have even gone to court, no doubt it was because of public outrage.
The judge also thought it was a good idea to name the copper.
Hmmmm, im slightly confused by that analysis. Is ‘telling’ police not to be racist as simple as telling the police to treat people the same?An interesting view on the Macpherson report
“The Macpherson Report was a response to a horrific crime: the murder of Stephen Lawrence in 1993, which was followed by a major campaign, led by this newspaper, to bring the killers to justice. Yet in his confused recommendations, Lord Macpherson both accused the police of racism and berated them for refusing to show more cultural sensitivity – ie, he simultaneously told them to treat everyone the same and to treat everyone differently.”
I see it slightly differently and I think an I investigation into the shooting dead of an unarmed man is essential irrespective of that man’s backgroundI hate that this guy is treated as if there has been some awful decision made by racist cops. There are plenty of examples of genuine racism which should be called out, using it in instances like this causes more divide than it unifies. The embarrassing shouting and protesting is horrendous. In Kaba's case it's good riddance and the cop should have received commendation rather than trial and the now disgusting bounty on him.
Someone mentioned Steven Lawrence above. He's the type of guy who should be lauded and if anything there should be statues of him and protests or marches, and not the outrage at rent-a mob like we have here for Kaba or Duggan etc. The difference is that his parents have conducted themselves impeccably through everything, so it's wrongly made it easy to sweep away and be ignored.
There's a difference between trial and investigation though. The latter I assume is standard practice with every armed operation. The info the police had, regardless of the now known background was that the car had been used in a firearms incident and the driver, to evade arrest was not only using the car as a weapon, but potentially armed. Nobody could realistically be expected to wait and find out.I see it slightly differently and I think an I investigation into the shooting dead of an unarmed man is essential irrespective of that man’s background
Especially as the police weren’t aware of his background. If they did know I think you could argue they had more reason to think they were in danger than being driven at by a crazed individual
So no problem with investigation, surprised at the trial, pleased at the outcome and fearful for community relations
While I agree with most of that I’m not sure that the murder Stephen Lawrence has been swept away and ignored, or that his parents haven’t campaigned vigorously for justice.I hate that this guy is treated as if there has been some awful decision made by racist cops.

They've certainly campaigned and rightly so, but they've also not stirred up trouble in the process and have remained dignified.While I agree with most of that I’m not sure that the murder Stephen Lawrence has been swept away and ignored, or that his parents haven’t campaigned vigorously for justice.
I think this might be a different debate but I wonder what if they had stirred up trouble...Who could blame them right?They've certainly campaigned and rightly so, but they've also not stirred up trouble in the process and have remained dignified.
