Outrage as Sadiq Khan refuses to apologise to Chris Kaba firearms officer.
The London Mayor was pressed on whether he will say sorry during a fiery City Hall showdown today.
Sadiq Khan has sparked outrage after he refused to apologise to the firearms officer involved in the Chris Kaba shooting, after he gave his sympathies to the dead gangster at the time.
The London Mayor was pressed for an apology during a City Hall scrutiny session today, where his former mayoral rival Susan Hall demanded he say sorry.
Mr Khan has since been accused of being “too sympathetic” towards Chris Kaba, calling him a “young life cut short”, and provoking further anger towards the police from minority groups in London.
During the debate this afternoon, Tory assembly member Susan Hall told Mr Khan that he should have been more supportive of the police at the time, instead of pouring fuel on the fire of what was a crisis of confidence in the force.
She questioned his initial response, including statements from London bodies that linked Chris Kaba’s shooting to “the fight against systematic racism”. Express.
