Army prepared and ready after Metropolitan Police turned in their guns

The military might be asked to help out the Metropolitan Police by replacing some of their firearms officers who have given up their guns.

More than 100 officers who carried weapons gave up their permits after an officer was accused of killing Chris Kaba.

A man named Mr. Kaba, who was 24 years old, was killed in Streatham Hill, which is in south-east London. This happened in September of last year when he was shot through the windscreen of an Audi car.

The person who is accused of murdering someone, and is known as NX121 to protect their identity, appeared in court for the first time this week.

The police have asked the military for assistance and the Metropolitan Police have confirmed it.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said that soldiers would only help with certain jobs and would not do regular police work or have the ability to arrest people.

A person speaking on behalf of the police said: “The Ministry of Defence has agreed to help the Met with countering terrorism, if they need it. ”

This is a backup plan that would only be used in certain situations when there is no appropriate police response available.
The military will not be used for regular police duties. We will constantly check if we still need to receive support.

A spokesperson from the Ministry of Defense said that they agreed to help the Metropolitan Police if they need assistance with counterterrorism activities.

Scotland Yard said that some police officers have decided to stop doing armed duties while they think about what they want to do. The number of officers doing this has gone up in the last 48 hours.

Sir Mark Rowley, who leads the force, said that police officers who carry guns are understandably worried after the murder charge.

The Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, wants to assess the situation and make sure that police officers don’t worry about being punished for doing their job.
