Mood among Black youths ‘worse than before London riots’ after Chris Kaba death

Barely 11 years have passed since riots spread across London, sparked by the tragic death of Mark Duggan.

People are now chanting the name of yet another Black man who died in the hands of the Metropolitan Police.

Killed by a single bullet to the head in Streatham, south London, the death of the rapper has brought up ‘a lot of old wounds’ for the Black British community.

Sayce Holmes-Lewis, CEO of youth charity Mentivity, says the mood is now ‘much worse’ than before the 2011 uprising, and he warned that another could be on the way.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk for Black History Month, the 39-year-old said Mr Kaba’s killing has ‘further compounded’ the lack of a relationship between the police and the Black British community.
