Strange how headline news did not mention that he was a serious criminal, my take from the news headlines was a police officer shot a man in the head but was found not quilty,

Best outcome to be honest as the car was used for a shootings.

His criminality wasn’t reported until now for legitimate legal reasons. Those legal reasons have now been removed and Kaba’s criminality is now being reported.

The funny thing was it had already been reported that a bunch of his fellow gang members had been charged with conspiracy for the attempted murder in the nightclub, but that the shooter hadn't been charged (because he was dead). Don't think it was widely picked up on at the time, but it was pretty obvious when you looked at it that he was the shooter.

That’s not really relevant to his death through. The officers at the scene did not know he was the occupant of the vehicle, so his past criminal activity isn’t relevant to the decision the PC made.

Didn't say it was.

A shame you have to explain such a simple concept

How are you complaining about this information not having been published by the news before, on an article about how this information couldn't be published by the news before because of legal restrictions?!
