I hate how the media frames this case as potential institutional racism rather than the reality that he was a violent career criminal.

[jaya]

Kaba was a shooter for 67 gang. He wasn't an innocent civilian

[JurassicRod]

He was a violent gangsta and career criminal. The mother of his child had a restraining order against him for his violence. Thank goodness the courts showed some common sense.

[ItsaColdWorld]

Zero Individual Accountability & 100% Victim Mentality

I don't care what colour you are, if you hear someone yelling "armed police" and you're surrounded by flashing blue lights, you do as you're told...self preservation..

[johncolley]

Everybody’s fault but Kaba’s, who incidentally was trying to shoot a black man in a club was that institutional racism?

[jermainewilson]

As a black have no sympathy was a known criminal who was running away from the police despite a gun being he was innocent he would have have to choose our battles but this is not one of this to the family involved as its a personal matter

[braveorslave]

Anyone who thinks Kaba was not to blame for his own death is part of the problem.

[stewartwallwork]

His actual criminal history has been released now quite a violent career.

[rd-xclc]

At least Kaba's pregnant girlfriend, who had a restraining order on him, can rest assured that she and the baby will not be beaten up by him in the future. Every

[chrisdonnelly]

if your known for carrying a gun and the police put there lights on to stop you should stop not try and run a officer over with your car

[martin]

Why is when a black man is stopped or tragically killed its nor because they was possibly involved in a crime or about to commit one is immediately a racial hate stop ...

[lukemurray]

This isn't a Black Vs White issue. This isn't a Right Wing Vs Left Wing issue. This is a Right Vs Wrong issue and everyone should agree with the officer over those who support criminality.

[PeaceMatters]

As a black person completely disagree with this race view, this interview doesn't reflect my thoughts whatsoever and I think that's true for most black people.

[katoness]

Its staggering that the dude on the right is trying to justify what Kaba did.

[lewis]

Offended by everything, accountable for nothing

[liam]

Kaba made multiple bad decisions leading him to that fate, blame gang culture.

[justmyster]

Seems he wasn't actually a choir boy after all as suggested by his family and supporters. His criminal record is ridiculous.

[waynegodwin]

Surely black people can understand why he was shot, if u dont maybe that's the problem

[richuk]

As a black person i am mistrusting of the police BUT i watched the footage i dont think it was inappropriate if the dude was getting out and they shot him then its bad he continued to try and ram his way out you gave the officer a decision to make its tragic that he died but i wouldnt stick an officer in jail based on what i saw the guy on the panel is making every excuse rather than just being honest if you fear for your life you do what an armed officer tells you you dont start ramming cars
