Black lives don't matter': Chris Kaba verdict stokes old frustrations in Brixton
Briefly

Carlton Warren expressed his shock at the verdict, stating, 'It's frustration you feel more than anything, it's sad for his family, [Chris Kaba's] not been given a chance. But we're living in perilous times - it's going to get worse before it gets better.' This highlights the emotional turmoil and sense of injustice felt within the community following the not guilty verdict.
Ola, a newcomer from Nigeria, voiced the collective sentiment among young black individuals, stating, 'I feel like that's the mindset that young black people hold. Distrust for the police and an expectation that they will be unfair.' His experiences reflect the pervasive perceptions of racial bias in law enforcement.
Isaiah Nature questioned the necessity of lethal force during the police encounter, saying, 'Even though [Chris Kaba] was known as a violent man, if this is my job, I've got to look at the situation. I could shoot him in the leg, you could reach for the gun.' His perspective challenges the justification of such extreme measures in policing.
