"Sgt Martyn Blake should never have stood trial" - Metropolitan Police Federation Statement
Matt Cane, General Secretary of the Metropolitan Police Federation, said: "Sgt Martyn Blake was yesterday found not guilty by a jury of the murder of Chris Kaba.
"He should never have stood trial.
"Being a firearms officer in London is one of the world’s toughest jobs. Officers, who volunteer for this role, know the responsibility and accountability that comes with it. All firearms officers are highly skilled, their training is intensive, and they undertake regular continuous training to enable them to perform the challenging role which they do.
"Our police officers however, must also have confidence that they have the protection needed to do the difficult and dangerous jobs society expects of them. The Metropolitan Police Federation, and the officers we represent, remain astonished that a brave colleague could be charged with murder, doing the job that society expects of him.
