A police marksman shot Chris Kaba dead believing "one or many" officers could be killed as the suspect attempted to escape at "any cost", a court has heard.
Martyn Blake, who denies murder, shot the 24-year-old in the head through the windscreen of a car during a police stop in Streatham, south London, in September 2022.
Moments before, Mr Kaba had tried to get away by driving forward and then reversing into a police car that had blocked him in, the Old Bailey heard.
Police had been looking for the Audi after its registration was linked to reports of gunshots in Brixton the night before, the jury was told.

'Armed police, show me your hands'​

Prosecutor Tom Little KC told the jurors they would want to consider the positions of the armed officers around the car and whether they were at risk at the time the fatal shot was fired.
The court was shown body-worn video from various officers and a graphic reconstruction of the "enforced stop with extraction".
After the shooting, Mr Blake, 40, provided an account of the incident, saying he opened fire because he feared there was an "imminent threat".
Recounting events, he said he had got out of his vehicle and moved towards the target, shouting: "Armed police, show me your hands."
He said: "At this point the driver drove his vehicle at great speed toward myself and (unnamed officer) E156 to escape.
"I had a genuine belief that either of us could be killed and moved right, out of the way.
"The driver then rammed our car, which was behind me, as well as a parked car and stopped, wedged.
"Seeing the car was stopped I went round to the front and again challenged the driver, saying something like, 'Armed police, stop the vehicle.'"

Mr Blake added: "At this point the driver reversed back at great speed as fast as he could, directly towards my colleagues who were out on foot approaching the vehicle.

"The male had already shown a propensity to use violence and was happy to use any means to escape and I had a genuine-held belief that one or many of my colleagues could be killed by the car, and that the driver would not stop his attempt to escape at any cost.

"I then made the decision to incapacitate the driver due to the imminent threat to my colleagues and took one shot at the driver.

"He immediately slumped and the car stopped."

Mr Little suggested parts of Mr Blake's initial account were "exaggerated" and "false", and that the Metropolitan Police officer's use of lethal force was not justifiable.

The court heard that officers in an unmarked parked police vehicle spotted the Audi Q in Camberwell, south London, and began following it.

Mr Blake, referred to as NX121, was the navigator in one of six vehicles that joined the police convoy before a decision was made to stop the Audi.

The court heard an operational firearms commander (OFC) had been concerned the longer they waited, the greater chance the driver would become aware he was being followed.

Mr Little said the OCF was right, as Mr Kaba had told a friend he was being followed in a phone call made shortly before the stop in Kirkstall Gardens where Blake and other armed officers got out of their vehicles.

'Shots fired'
Initially, Mr Kaba drove back then accelerated forwards in an unsuccessful attempt to get away, hitting two police vehicles and a parked car.

The police car behind the Audi responded by moving forwards to close the gap before Mr Kaba reversed into it, jurors were told.

Less than a second later, Mr Blake, who was standing in front of the Audi, opened fire and shot Mr Kaba with a SiG Sauer semi-automatic carbine through the windscreen.

Cries of "shots fired, shots fired" could be heard on the body-worn video.

Mr Kaba was treated by paramedics at the scene before he was taken to hospital where he died just after midnight on 6 September 2022.

The trial continues.

They should have sent his family an invoice for the fucking bullet.

Literally have no idea why any police would agree to carry arms after this.

Is it any wonder whenever the terrorists attack like that guy with a massive tusk of ivory on the bridge in London, it tends to be members of the public with random shit to hand who incapacitate them?

Police, Br*tish police in particular are subhuman enforcers of the kike controlled state. Daily reminder that the existence of police is the only thing preventing true justice from existing.

Funny you should say that.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c70w4pd9r6zo#:~:text=Police%20officers%20voluntarily%20surrendering%20their,were%20surrendering%20their%20firearm%20tickets.

Police officers voluntarily surrendering their Tasers and firearms "risks London becoming less safe", the Metropolitan Police commissioner has warned.
Sir Mark Rowley said a third of officers were giving up their Taser accreditation, and more than a quarter were surrendering their firearm tickets.
In a speech on Wednesday night, he said "fewer officers [were] doing the high-risk jobs we need" in London.
This, he said, was due to a "growing crisis in officers’ confidence to act" and an accountability process which had "got out of kilter".

​

Sir Mark told the event, organised by the Police Foundation, that the online abuse faced by officers was "shameful" and that violence against officers was increasing.
"We should be very clear: when people, be they politicians or the public, throw accusations and slurs at the police, they put them in danger by emboldening thugs," he said.
"Some people won’t care about that – the criminals – but everyone else should.
"I say to all those throwing insults: be very careful which side of the line you are standing."
He said about 18 officers a day were "punched, bitten or racially abused, and two per week were seriously injured".
"In one incident recently an officer was driven at while trying to stop a stolen car, leaving him requiring extensive surgery," Sir Mark added.

​

He added that the National Federation survey from earlier this year showed 95% of officers said how the police was treated by government had a "negative effect on their morale".
"That is just one indication of how they feel," he said.
"The consequence is a growing crisis in officers’ confidence to act. And that makes us all less safe.
"It is not just about abuse and intimidation. The system we have created to hold officers to account has also got out of kilter.
"The system that holds officers to account needs to pass the common-sense test. It should be timely, fair and respected by both officers and the public. It isn’t."

Sir Mark added the impact of "reduced confidence" in officers was being seen on the capital's streets.
"Stop and search – an important tactic when used well, which takes knives and weapons off our streets - has declined massively, and the arrest rate in London is also reducing," he said.
"We know that a third of officers say that reduced confidence has led them to voluntarily surrender their public order accreditation, a third say they are giving up their Taser accreditation, and over a quarter their firearms tickets.
"This means fewer officers doing the high-risk jobs we need them to do. That risks London becoming less safe."
"Officers should know that when they follow their training and act in good faith, that from their sergeant to their commissioner they will be supported," Sir Mark said.
"This is the approach in the health service.
"It cannot be right that one part of the public sector, which also makes life and death decisions, should be held to a different standard to others."

Leftists have made it so the police are afraid to do their job when it comes to dealing with criminals of the "exotic" variety, which in turn has emboldened the third worlders and made UK police look weak and considered a laughingstock by the public.

Trying to ram your way out of being boxed in? Yeah, my sympathy for the niggerapper is just about the same as my give a shit level for troons who get sent to male prisons after being convicted of raping women and children.

Because frankly once you start trying to ram police vehicles to escape, you're just too dangerous not to shoot.

To be fair to the pigs there, when the armed cops actually turned up they basically executed the guy with two rapid to the head.

A police officer has been cleared of murdering a man he shot in the head in south London two years ago.

Martyn Blake, 40, shot Chris Kaba, who was unarmed, during a police vehicle stop in Streatham in September 2022. The officer had said he did not mean to kill him but feared lives were in danger.

Mr Kaba's family said they had been left with a sense of injustice and were "devastated".

But Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley said "no police officer was above the law but the system of holding firearms officer to account was broken".

Mr Blake, who denied intending to kill the 24-year-old, took a deep breath as the jury's decision was read out, but otherwise did not react to the not guilty verdict.

The Met said the officer, who was suspended throughout the process, will be immediately reinstated.

During the trial at the Old Bailey, the court heard Mr Kaba was due to be a father.

He had been followed by police because the Audi car he was driving had been linked to a shooting in Brixton the night before.

Jurors heard that Mr Kaba drove backwards and forwards trying to ram his way free, which Mr Blake said made him believe one of his colleagues was about to die, and so he opened fire to stop the car.

A fellow firearms officer known as DS87 said he would have taken a shot if Mr Blake had not, and another identified by the cypher E156 said he was "fractions of a second" away from doing the same.

Another, NX109, got the finger of his glove caught in the Audi's door handle and just managed to wrench it free as it moved forward, telling the jury he thought he would be dragged between it and a Tesla parked nearby.

Mr Kaba died from a single gunshot wound, which was fired through the windscreen of the Audi Q8.

Mr Blake had told the court: "I had a genuine belief that there was an imminent threat to life.

"If I hadn’t of acted I thought one of the colleagues would have been dead."

At the time of Mr Kaba's death, the shooting sparked protests across the country, with rapper Stormzy among hundreds of protesters who gathered to give support to his family.

Signs reading "Black Lives Matter" and "Justice for Chris Kaba" were held up.

Following Mr Blake's acquittal, Mr Kaba's family said: "The not guilty verdict leaves us with the deep pain of injustice adding to the unbearable sorrow we have felt since Chris was killed.

"No family should endure the unimaginable grief we have faced. Chris was stolen from us, and this decision shows his life — and many others like him — does not matter to the system. Our son deserved better."

Their statement continued: "The acquittal of Martyn Blake isn’t just a failure for our family, but for all those affected by police violence."

The family thanked supporters and added that "despite this verdict, we won’t be silenced" and they will "continue fighting for Chris, for justice, and for real change".

The jury of nine men and three women reached their decision after they deliberated for about three hours.

Following the verdict, Mr Justice Goss thanked them, saying they displayed diligence and care during the trial.

Sir Mark said Mr Blake had paid "a huge personal and professional sacrifice" over the past two years since the shooting.

He said the officer had made "a split second decision on what he believed was necessary to protect his colleagues and to protect London".

Sir Mark also criticised the systems used to hold police officers who take lethal shots to account.

"I worry about the lack of support officers face for doing their best, but most of all, I worry for the public," he said.

"The more we crush the spirit of good officers, the less they can fight crime - that risks London becoming less safe."

The police watchdog, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), will now consider whether Mr Blake should face a disciplinary hearing.

IOPC director Amanda Rowe said: "The past few weeks must have been incredibly difficult and distressing for Chris’s family who have sat through the trial, listened to all the evidence and witnessed his final moments played out in court.

"We also recognise the impact that this trial has had on the officer involved, as well as his firearms colleagues and the wider policing community."

She added: "We appreciate this trial will have been of significant public interest, and particularly so within our Black communities."

Frank Ferguson, from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), said the decision to prosecute was made "after an in-depth consideration of all the available evidence".

He said: "We recognise that firearms officers operate under enormous pressure, but it is our responsibility to put cases before a jury that meet our test for prosecution, and we are satisfied that test was met in this case.

"It is therefore right that the case was put before the jury for them to scrutinise and to decide."

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: “For two years since the death of Chris Kaba, this has been a very difficult case, causing deep concerns for communities, for police officers and of course causing real distress for the families most closely affected.

“Criminal prosecutions brought against police officers for actions taken in the course of their duties are extremely rare. Each day, police officers across the country work hard with bravery and integrity to keep the public safe."

She said it was "important both that the police have the confidence of communities they serve and that officers have the support and confidence they need to do the difficult job of keeping us safe".

The government was "committed" to working with policing to strengthen confidence for the future, she added.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said he understood the impact Mr Kaba's death has had and the "anger, pain and fear it has caused".

"I respect the decision made by the jury today following a full examination of a large amount of evidence - including video from the incident," he said in a statement.

"In London, we police by consent. When anyone loses their life following contact with the police, it's important that it is properly and thoroughly investigated, which is what's happened in this case."

He said there was a "wider lack of trust in the police, particularly within the black community, that needs to be addressed", but he would continue to work with the government to support and hold the Metropolitan Police to account "to ensure any lessons are learnt and the Met commands the trust of all Londoners as we build a safer London for everyone".

This cunt gives not one fuck about the police officer, just the criminal. If I was the police officer, once all this bullshit was over believe I would resign or retire.

Here in the USA, while the district attorney and/or grand jury would look at the results of investigation after the shooting, this would be declared justified. That car was as much a weapon as a pistol or a rifle.

Sometimes I wonder how these prosecutors look at themselves in the mirror knowing they stand up in court and do nothing but lie to the jury in cases like this

Then I remember most prosecutors' offices are just as pozzed as every other government institution in the West these days

Eh? The terrorist guy had a sword. The chap with the massive tusk of ivory was a genuine member of the public with random shit to hand.

The time to prosecute the cops was when they shot Jean Charles de Menezes. But the one who did it was sent to Australia for months to bugger up any inquiry, and everyone left behind just lied and lied and lied again. And they all got promoted afterwards. There was no way a jury was going to convict here. So is there some other reason why the CPS chose to prosecute such a shitty case.

Mr Blake, who denied intending to kill the 24-year-old, took a deep breath as the jury's decision was read out, but otherwise did not react to the not guilty verdict.

He should have laughed really loud, then pulled out one of those Brit "Christmas Crackers", put on the little faggy paper hat that comes with it, blew the noisemaker, etc. Have a little party right in court at the defendant's table. Fuck it.

Mr Kaba died from a single gunshot wound, which was fired through the windscreen of the Audi Q8.

Pretty damn good shooting for a brit cop. One through the head, through the windshield on a moving car. I would have mag dumped, but this cop only needed one bullet.

The jury of nine men and three women reached their decision after they deliberated for about three hours.

I bet they purposely sat in the jury room an hour longer than necessary, too. Juries like to take a little extra time to make it look good, plus they're usually eating free lunch on the tax payer dime.

the court heard Mr Kaba was due to be a father.

Oh yeah, I'm sure he was going to be a really involved father. How tragic for his child to miss out on this amazing dad.

So now the kaba case is done the media are allowed to reveal that he was in fact a gangster, not an innocent boy just driving his car like the family are trying to push

The officer, who gets no such privacy and had his name published, is now in hiding with a bounty on his head.
Quote:
Kaba who had pulled the trigger as part of a vicious war for control over a 'county lines' drug dealing network which raged between the two gangs.
Nicknamed 'Mad Itch', Kaba had a shocking history of violence, with convictions dating back to the age of 13 for affray, knifes and weapons possession relating to several shootings.
Jurors were told merely that the victim was an expectant father.
But even that carefully constructed image crumbled in legal argument behind closed doors when it emerged that he had been barred from contacting the mother of his unborn child under a domestic violence protection order.
I know we diss the police rather a lot but the officer who shot him is now facing a lifetime of threat to himself and his family, for doing his job effectively. The media and courts covered up the fact this was a gangster with a ‘shocking history of violence’ while allowing Blake’s name to be published when they KNEW he would face repercussions because of that. That’s really sickening

 

[Pumpkin Girl IRL]

Half-watching the news this morning, and they only seem to mention the nightclub shooting as something potentially related - not a confirmed incident that was the whole reason he got pulled over in the first place. Yeah, "unarmed" after opened fire in a crowded space...

Desperately trying to keep a lid on this piece of shit's history.
