Who'd have thunk it eh? So they drag a copper over the coals for years and acquit in less than 3 hours. That copper did us all a favour, I look forward to the New Years Honour's list.
What's your view on the CPS should they be looked at for this monumental error?
Yes they should.
But rather than concerntrate on this particular case, there should be a fundamental shift away from automatically considering prosecution of police officers in these circumstances. An officer shooting a person he suspects will immediately cause death or injury to another person is not the same as Kaba shooting a rival drug dealer in a night club.
The officer has been provided with a weapon and is authorised to use it. He should not face the possibility of being stood up on a murder or unlawful killing charge in the event he gets his split second decision wrong.
He should not be automatically suspended. Tht immediately casts suspicion on his actions. He most certainly should not be named. It's a funny situation where a convicted child murderer can be given a change of identity and lifelong anonymity, whereas a police office doing what he was trained to do and found to have been innocent of any wrongdoing, is identified for all the world to know.
Changes are needed or we very soon won't have many officers willing to put their lives on the line for others when knowing that if they behave correctly they will still be up before the Beak.
The media was not allowed to mention Kaba's lengthy violent criminal past during the trial and Kaba's mother applied to extend reporting restrictions beyond the end of the trial, but she failed.
I wonder why she wanted that to happen?
Nothing to do with this, surely.....?

Many of these ases all have a common theme - an armed officer takes a split second decision to open fire when a matter, literally, of life and death of either him, his colleagues or the public is at stake.
yes the common theme is fantasy - - Kaba was unarmed soooo all the assertions in para 1 were untrue or.... in the police officers mind
Now my dears - if the police are shooting too many people ( Jean Charles Menendez) oops unarmed people
AND
they are turning in their firearms licences
surely the way forward, is to say - "roll up roll up, hand them all in, we will use the army." and then select new applicants from the police as and when the occur/apply
simples new team doing what you want - end of
The irony is if he had just let the police arrest him he would probably only have served a couple of years.
