PROTESTS ACROSS UK OVER KILLING OF UNARMED BLACK MAN #ChrisKaba

Hundreds of people gathered outside New Scotland Yard as part of a series of protests across the country calling for #JusticeForChrisKaba

IOPC is investigating whether race was a factor… How many BLACK lives do their officers need to cut short before they acknowledge the pattern which is obvious to rest of us?

Only the families who have lost someone can know the very real pain they feel…

The officer who fired the fatal shot should have been suspended immediately… And Chris’ family rightfully have questions and demands which also need to be met immediately!

Since 1990 there have been just under 1,900 deaths of members of the public after contact with the police.

Astonishingly, that’s well over one person dying every single week…

Over the same period there has been just one conviction of a serving police officer…

And yet, the Police Federation feel no shame in expressing support for the officer concerned…

And we repeat this warning by @HackneyAbbott:

‘The latest fatal police shooting of a young black man should be of concern to all who oppose racism and is a sinister sign of a state prepared to crack down on its citizens in the most brutal way it can’

The met is institutionally racist!

Which is why it has become necessary for all of us to keep protesting…

Our voices cannot be ignored! We demand #JusticeForChrisKaba

We won’t stop because #BlackLivesMatter
