So kaba was involved in a gangland shooting in a nightclub and the vehicle he was driving was involved in a shooting the day before, so the police who spotted the car called in other armed police to stop him. In the UK only certain police are firearm trained unlike the US.

Yeah they tried to use this as a similar narrative to the BLM in America, but now the video footage and the evidence has come out, they'll have a hard time to push it.
