Met Police: Up to 300 armed officers step back as Army on standby

Personally I see it as a very sad thing that it's required to have so many armed police in the first place. I don't know the solution but it seems like addressing/ focusing more on the underlining cause would be a good place to start.

If this were true, how should society deal with messaging by the media that analogously paints pilots as potential killers?

>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.

People like accountability until it is applied to themselves.
