7:05 pm
misconduct hearings. we also learn that the jury wanted with their verdict the unanimous verdict, a note read out which said they did not believe this case should ever have come to court. and yet the judge chose not to read it out. and i did wonder. i did wonder why it all seemed so one sided that nothing that kaba had done in his long criminal record, which began at the age of 13, which included stabbings, beatings, firearms offences and of course, just three days before the incident on streatham hill, the fact that he'd fired five shots, three of which had hit a man. i did wonder why everything about him was kept quiet. and yet the anonymity of the police officer, which his counsel had begged to remain secret , which his counsel had begged to remain secret, had which his counsel had begged to remain secret , had been which his counsel had begged to remain secret, had been denied by the judge. will we learn now? there is a £10,000 bounty on his head. we learned that his kids
7:06 pm
have had to be removed from school, and frankly, i could not feel sorry for this man who was simply doing his job. but there was , unusually for me, sitting was, unusually for me, sitting in the house of commons this afternoon, a piece of good news, because this is what the home secretary , yvette cooper, said secretary, yvette cooper, said when officers act in the most dangerous situations on behalf of the state, it is vital that those officers and their families are not put in further danger during any subsequent legal proceedings. >> so we will therefore introduce a presumption of anonymity for firearms officers subject to criminal trial following a police shooting in the course of their professional duties, up to the point of conviction . conviction. >> well, in the light of what's happened, that must be a good thing. you probably heard me. i was one of the loudest cheers there in the chamber. i don't want anyone to go through what this police sergeant has been through. it just seems to me to be wrong. and almost every angle. and yet not everybody was impressed . hard left labour mp
7:07 pm
impressed. hard left labour mp kim johnson rose in the debate and said this. >> madam deputy speaker, i would like to thank the home secretary for her statement . i would also for her statement. i would also like to send my condolences to the family, friends and loved ones of chris kaba , particularly ones of chris kaba, particularly this week. while the media are using racist gang tropes to justify the killing of chris kaba shocking, 1900 people have died in police custody since 1990 1990. and i would say that the police do have protections, you know , we know that our black you know, we know that our black communities are over policed and under supported. so kind the home secretary give us assurances that we and our communities are kept safe and that extra protections are not given to the police because they already have the protections they need . they need. >> well, again, the same line
7:08 pm
there no sympathy at all for the police officer, the police sergeant , rather, and police officer, the police sergeant, rather, and his family, but plenty for chris kaba. but here's the really interesting thing. why did the crown prosecution service in the first place push for a murder conviction as opposed to a manslaughter one? and frankly, given the fact that the crown prosecution service at no point has shown any regret for pushing this forward, i'm asking you at home, is the crown prosecution service fit for purpose? please let me know. farage gbnews.com/win or tweet farage on gb news. i'm joined by paul britton, criminal defence solicitor. now anonymity would be unusual in a case like this. what was interesting i thought paul was reading the reports that his case, the police sergeant's case, actually pleaded with the judge in the court and said if you don't give
7:09 pm
him a name , don't give him him a name, don't give him anonymity, he will become a target . and now what has target. and now what has happened to this man is, is truly awful. should a police officer in these circumstances, in your view, be given the right to anonymity? >> i think there is a risk and we've just heard yvette cooper there , that if we start giving there, that if we start giving certain people in certain professions anonymity to remain anonymous and the public don't know who they are , you start to know who they are, you start to create or lean towards a two tier system. why should people from certain professions be be granted that privilege? yet others that get caught up in the criminal justice system, not because a fraudster is slightly less likely to be chased by a gangster m
