Things I learned on yesterdayโs ride a long;
Response policing is organised chaos. Officers often have limited and confusing information and only seconds to act when arriving on scene. It is unimaginably hard at best. ๐ #SWBCU #RideALong

This body cam footage shows just how chaotic and dangerous frontline policing can be, these armed officers feared that their lives were in immediate and grave danger, and today the jury has agreed.
The Met Police have released the bodycam footage of the night Chris Kaba was shot.
The jury were also shown a graphic of where the armed police officers were when they surrounded the car.

From my experience, police officers are working unthinkable hours, whilst facing unimaginable violence and scrutiny. Overstretched and underpaid, our police officers deserve renumeration that is deserving of the role, and the upmost support and respect from government ๐คฌ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐
