British prosecutors authorized a murder charge against an unnamed Metropolitan Police officer who is accused of killing Chris Kaba in South London last year.
London’s police force says some officers are refusing to conduct armed patrols after a police marksman was charged with murder over the shooting of Chris Kaba, an unarmed Black man.
Armed officers from neighboring police forces have been asked to support the Metropolitan Police, according to the service’s statement. In addition, Britain’s Defense Ministry said in a statement that it had received a request to provide “routine counterterrorism contingency support” to the Metropolitan Police, should it be needed.
Kaba was taken to a London hospital, where was declared dead at 12:16 a.m. on Sept. 6, 2022, according to the office. According to data published in June by local authorities, the Metropolitan Police employs about 2,600 firearms officers, a small fraction of the more than 34,000 officers employed by the service.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told reporters Monday morning that police officers needed certainty about the legal powers they have.
