Police Officer Who Shot Dead FEARED Gangster Has 10K BOUNTY on His Head
Police Officer Who Shot Dead Criminal Chris Kaba Found Not Guilty of Murder
A police officer who shot dead a black man in London after he tried to ram his way out of a police roadblock has been cleared of his murder.
The car had been used as a getaway vehicle in a shooting, and was hemmed in by police cars after an officer recognised its registration number.

The more we crush officers, the less they can fight crime, warns Met chief
The Met police marksman who fatally shot Chris Kaba has been cleared of his murder.
Mr Blake had told the court: "I had a genuine belief that there was an imminent threat to life.
"If I hadnt of acted I thought one of the colleagues would have been dead."
Martyn Blake, 40, stood trial at the Old Bailey after shooting the 24-year-old through the front windscreen of an Audi Q8 in Streatham, south-east London, on September 5 2022.
Mr Kaba drove backwards and forwards trying to ram his way free, which Mr Blake told jurors made him believe one of his colleagues was about to die, and so he opened fire to stop the car.
Martyn Blake, 40, shot Chris Kaba, who was unarmed, during a police vehicle stop in Streatham in September 2022. The officer had said he did not mean to kill him but feared lives were in danger.
Mr Kaba's family said they had been left with a sense of injustice and were "devastated".
But Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley said "no police officer was above the law but the system of holding firearms officer to account was broken".
The Met said the officer, who was suspended throughout the process, will be immediately reinstated.
Fallout from the charge against Martyn Blake saw many Met officers lay down arms. Firearms officers in the UK are all volunteers who do not get any extra money for the risks they take, and many decided it was simply no longer worth it.
In February, The Telegraph revealed that only six officers had applied to join the current intake.

Chris Kaba Was One of Londons' Most Feared Gangsters Who Shot Rival Days Before Death, And Had a History of Violence
- Whilst Officer Martyn Blake Who Shot Him Dead Has 10 THOUSAND POUNDS BOUNTY on His Head

Gangsters put a 10,000 bounty on the head of a police marksman after he shot dead Chris Kaba, it can be revealed today.
Chris Kaba's rap name was 'Mad Itch' or 'Itch' and he released drill rap songs bragging about gunning down rivals and selling drugs. A still from one of his videos is pictured above, for the song Numerous Times

SGT Martyn Blake is having to live in hiding, fearing for his life and his family after a 10,000 reward was offered to anyone prepared to offer information on his whereabouts in order to kill him in revenge for the death of Mr Kaba.
Now it can be revealed that Mr Kaba was one of Londons most feared gangsters with a shocking history of violence.
Yesterday Sergeant Blake was dramatically cleared of murder after shooting the 24-year-old fleeing motorist to prevent him running over other officers.
But the full circumstances behind the case could not be revealed after Mr Justice Goss imposed reporting restrictions on the trial.
The fatal shooting on 5 September 2022 happened after armed police started tailing the vehicle that Mr Kaba was driving because the Audi Q8 had been used as a getaway car in a gang-related shooting the night before in Brixton, South London.
This morning the Old Bailey judge finally lifted an order banning the media from disclosing his Mr Kaba's involvement in multiple shootings across the capital.
Now it can be disclosed that the 24-year-old motorist was high on cocaine that night and still had gun residue on his sleeve and a balaclava in his car, providing 'strong evidence' that Mr Kaba had carried out the Brixton shooting the night before, Mr Blakes lawyer Patrick Gibbs, KC, said.
He was a leading member of the 67 gang, which police consider the most dangerous gang in South London.
Just six days before his death, Mr Kaba brazenly gunned down a rival in the middle of a crowded nightclub during a bloody feud for control of a profitable county lines drug network.
Had he not been killed, Mr Kaba would have stood trial at the Old Bailey for the attempted murder of Mr Malutshi who miraculously survived the nightclub shooting on August 30, 2022.
His accomplices were later convicted for their role in the shooting during a trial effectively held in secret to avoid any prejudge to jurors in the Blake case.
CCTV footage showed Mr Kaba spotting his rival at the club on the evening of August 30, 2022, before grabbing a bag from a friend, pulling on a single black glove then covering his face.
He then snatched the pistol from the bag and fired across the dancefloor at Malutshi, who sprinted away.
Mr Kaba chased him and fired a volley of bullets at his target, hitting him in the leg just below the buttock.
Mr Gibbs described his notorious 67 clan as the 'most dangerous gang in south London.'
A Met Police report in 2023 revealed 67's turf warfare had 'encompassed numerous firearms discharges, stabbings and murders' which have 'played out in gang related musical content since 2014.'
It emerged in a pre-trial hearing that 'those linked to the 67 Gang were seeking to kill a police officer in retribution for Mr Kaba's death'.
Mr Gibbs cited an intelligence report revealing: 'The sum of money on offer was ?10,000?.in exchange for personal details of Martyn Blake including addresses and vehicle registration marks.
'The threat of harm was directed at both Mr Blake and his family'.
