LONDON, Sept 25 — Britain yesterday put its army on standby after a number of London police officers handed in their weapons in support of a fellow officer who has been charged with murder over the fatal shooting of a young black man.
According to one media report, around 100 Met police officers have stepped back from firearms duties.The stoppage follows the appearance in court last week of a London firearms officer, named only as NX121, who has been charged over the death of 24-year-old Chris Kaba in September 2022. “Many are worried about how the decision impacts on them, on their colleagues and on their families,” the spokesman said.
Fatal shootings by police in Britain are rare. Other than Kaba, since 2020, eight other people have died in incidents involving a UK police officer.It is also extremely rare for British police officers to be charged with murder or manslaughter over actions performed while they were on duty.
