The Metropolitan Police commissioner has hit out at “dangerous narratives” over the police shooting of Chris Kaba by a firearms officer who was cleared of murder, revealing that Kaba’s gang has been linked to 11 shootings in the past year.
Sir Mark Rowley said online commentary, often largely focussed on Kaba’s ethnicity, risked undermining justice in the wake of the shooting as he urged commentators to be more aware of the weight of their words.
