MORE MP’S are putting pressure on Scotland Yard to suspend the firearms officer who shot...
Bell Ribeiro-Addy and Harriet Harman said it was “incomprehensible” that action had not already been taken
Dawn Butler, MP for Brent Central, has added her voice to the calls for action following speeches by fellow MPs Diane Abbott and Bell Riberio-Addy at a central London demonstration on Saturday also attended by Stormzy. Kaba, 24, who was expecting a child and had accepted an apprenticeship to become an architect, was shot dead after his car was contained by police vehicles.A letter from MPs, including Harriet Harman and Helen Hayes, says:“We are calling on the Met to suspend the officer today. Even moving him out of firearms duties or into back-room duties would not be sufficient in view of the seriousness of this matter. It must be suspension and it must be now.
At a community meeting jointly organised by Options4Change and Ecosystem Coldharbour and attended by The Voice, there were demands for action. A critical delay in Taylor receiving medical treatment caused by the police during his arrest, despite informing officers he could not breathe, ultimately led to his death.
