The Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, emphasized the importance of having an honest conversation regarding criminals like Chris Kaba, who terrorize their own communities. He expressed frustration that discussions surrounding Kaba's death have largely revolved around his ethnicity, which was not a consideration in the jury's verdict. He believes that some influential figures need to be more mindful of their words, as they can embolden those who work against the public.
Sir Mark acknowledges the need for rebuilding trust in British justice, stating it must be a collective effort from all stakeholders, particularly those in authority. He mentioned the significant challenges posed by gangs like Kaba's Brixton Hill-based group, highlighting their violent activities and exploitation of children. He calls for a united response to ensure the safety and trust of the community, which he feels is currently undermined by divisive narratives.
