YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJames O'Brien speaks to former Assistant Commissioner in the Met, Neil Basu, who has said that the armed forces is facing a crisis of confidence.
'I want people to understand why Black people feel the way they do', Neil Basu tells James, but on policeman he urges that people 'look behind the badge, these are human beings'.
'Our armed police officers also lack faith in the very system that is supposed to hold them to account.'
Following the Chris Kaba case, armed police officers who are charged following a police shooting will remain anonymous under government plans.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced that the assumption of anonymity would stay in place until they’ve been convicted.
It’s after outrage was sparked over the naming of Sergeant Martyn Blake ahead of his trial, where he was cleared of the murder of Chris Kaba in south London.
He’s been forced into hiding, with round-the-clock protection, after Kaba’s gang placed a £10,000 bounty on his head.
As part of a review into the accountability of armed police officers – which began last year – the Home Office will also now hold a ‘rapid independent review’ into the threshold at which use of force cases against armed officers are sent to the Crown Prosecution Service.
