"[...] for the family of Chris Kaba, the IOPC makes explicit mention of the force used by Martyn Blake in Chris’s death as a stark example for dropping misconduct proceedings in unresolved cases. This gives every appearance that the IOPC has a closed mind on this specific case."

The family of Chris Kaba has issued a statement in response to the IOPC's decision that all as yet-unresolved police misconduct cases involving use of force cases should be assessed according the new, higher criminal law test, resulting in almost all such cases being dropped.

As para 36 of the judgment mentions & reported during the Grenfell Tower Inquiry e.g. here: www.constructionnews.co.uk/health-and-s... this important case indicates that several past inquiries wrongly missed out on hearing evidence. Hopefully other inquiries will now boldly go where #UCPI has gone.
