The head of London’s police force is calling for increased legal protections for officers who use force in the line of duty after more than 100 officers refused to carry guns to protest murder charges filed against one of their colleagues.
An unidentified officer appeared in court on Thursday after he was charged with murder in the shooting of an unarmed Black man in south London on Sept. 5, 2022. Chris Kaba, 24, died after he was struck by a single gunshot fired into the car he was driving.
The Metropolitan Police Service, with more than 34,000 officers serving about 9 million people, is Britain’s largest police department. About 2,500 specially trained officers are licensed to carry guns.
