A big group of Black Lives Matter protestors chanted “police are killers” as they marched down Whitehall to Scotland Yard, where the Met Police were investigating the “murder” of an unarmed rapper.
A surgeon who attended the Chris Kaba march on Saturday described the event and the deaths of other young black men as a “small-scale genocide.”
Samantha Harding, a London-based eye physician, estimated that between 4,000 and 5,000 people participated in the march for Chris Kaba, and that it took approximately three minutes to travel from Parliament Square to Downing Street.
She stated, “I must say that this demonstrates a great sense of emotion and that this march truly reflects the strong concern of black Londoners.”
She reported that several attendees brought homemade protest signs. How and why did Chris Kaba die? ‘
She continued, “I am quite concerned about the current state of young black kids in London.” It is impossible; it is feasible to die while driving a car. Is this the destination?
The unfortunate individual who was tasered on Chelsea Bridge is another case of concern. What is occurring with young black men in the nation’s capital?
It’s comparable to a small-scale genocide. We must get to the bottom of it and put a stop to it.’
Chris Kaba, 24, was fatally shot by armed police after a car chase on Monday night.
While they marched down Whitehall to Scotland Yard, a big gathering of Black Lives Matter demonstrators chanted “police are killers” as the Met Police investigate the “murder” of an unarmed rapper.
In response to the police shooting of Chris Kaba, there is a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Whitehall.
Morgan Williams, age 21, stated that she attended the Lambeth shooting demonstration because young black people should be free to live without feeling threatened.
Ms. Williams, a student from London, reported feeling unsafe following the death of Chris Kaba.
I believe we shouldn’t be discussing these issues in 2022. As young black people, we should be allowed to coexist without being endangered by other populations.
‘Of course I feel unsafe. No response has been given, and no one has assumed responsibility.’
When asked about the homicide investigation into the shooting of Mr. Kaba, she stated, ‘I think (a charging decision should be made) quicker than in months and I think people should be brought to justice very quickly – I feel like if it was a white person, there would be a lot more accountability, but because it’s a black person, it doesn’t seem as important.
Being half white and half black is difficult for me; I feel like half of my identity is still constantly traumatized by the other half of my history.
The family of Mr. Kaba, who was shot and killed by armed police, has demanding the suspension of the responsible officer.
Mr. Kaba, 24, an expectant father, was unarmed when he killed Monday evening in South London following a car chase.
Two police cars surrounded the rapper on a residential street in Streatham Hill, where a single fatal shot was fired.
Mr. Kaba was administered CPR and brought to the hospital, but he died later that night.
Now, his family has demanding that the officer who fired the shot be “immediately suspended” pending an investigation into the event.
The Metropolitan Police disclosed that no officer engaged in the incident has been suspended as of yet.
The officer is said to have been removed from “operational” tasks and restricted to desk work.
However, the Metropolitan Police announced this week that none of the involved officers have been suspended or placed on restricted duty.
The Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC) is conducting a homicide investigation into the officer.
The IOPC already established that no firearm was discovered in Mr. Kaba’s automobile after his death.
Met Police official told MailOnline: “At this moment, all officers are being treated as witnesses by the IOPC.”
Mr. Kaba was administered CPR by police and taken to the hospital, but he died shortly thereafter.
“They are now not performing operational tasks owing to the post-incident investigation, although no officer is formally restricted or suspended.”
‘The work status of the officers will be regularly reviewed as the IOPC investigation progresses and the IOPC will be consulted before any decisions are made.’
The force was unable to confirm the number of policemen involved in the incident.
The spokesman added: ‘We await confirmation, as further officers attended the scene to provide first aid and other assistance including with the formal post incident process.’
