Time stood still in Parliament Square today as a mother cried out for her son.
We all felt it. The loss of another Black man. The raw, collective outpouring of grief in the community has grown more profound with each life that has been taken at the hands of police.
Heads hung, the crowd thought about Chris Kaba, the 24-year-old unarmed Black man who was shot dead by a firearms officer in Streatham, south London, on Monday night. We thought about the laughs he’ll never get to have, the soon-to-be-born baby he’ll never get to raise, the life he’ll never get to live.
