During the London Assembly meeting, Sadiq Khan faced criticism for his comments regarding Chris Kaba, a gang member whose death sparked controversy after Sergeant Martyn Blake was acquitted of murder, raising questions about the mayor's impartiality.
Susan Hall, the former Tory mayoral candidate, challenged Mayor Khan, highlighting the perceived bias in his comments about Kaba before the jury's decision, emphasizing that the police deserved a balanced response from their leader.
Khan's handling of the situation has drawn strong reactions, with Hall questioning why he expressed sympathy for Kaba, who had a violent criminal past, as opposed to supporting the cleared officer.
In response to Hall's demands for an apology, Khan maintained that his remarks were appropriate, arguing that he stood by his stance while facing allegations of being overly sympathetic towards Kaba.
