Martyn Blake, a Metropolitan Police firearms officer, has been cleared of the murder of 24-year-old Chris Kaba, who was shot during a police stop in September 2022. Bodycam footage released shows the moments leading up to the shooting, where Kaba, driving an Audi Q8 linked to a firearms incident, attempted to escape by ramming police vehicles. The jury took three hours to reach their verdict, which has sparked public outrage and debate over police accountability and the use of lethal force. Kaba's family expressed their deep pain over the verdict, calling it a continued injustice. The Independent Office for Police Conduct is now considering whether Blake should face a disciplinary hearing. This incident has reignited discussions about the treatment of police officers and the need for potential reforms in handling fatal shootings by law enforcement in the UK.
