Police Get Away with Murder in Camden

On 15/5/04 Kebba Jobe 42 was killed at approximately 2 pm by police using excessive force.

On the afternoon of 15/5/04 Kebba was sitting at the Camden lock when an undercover police officer approached him asking him to buy some cannabis. Although Kebba did not fall for the set up the undercover police officer, with the help of another three officers in uniform arrested him, beat him up and broke his spine!

As usual the police are trying to cover up their dirty work and at this time there is no inquiry. Further contrary to every procedure where homocide is concerned police did not cordon off the area, appeal for witnessess or take any of the other usual steps.

Kebba's family is now demanding justice and are calling for a demonstration on Sat 22/05/04 at 2pm. The demo will be starting from Camden lock- where the incident happened- and proceeding along to Kentish town police station.

Once again the police think they can get away with murder. And once again they will unless we stand up and fight back.

In the words of Kebba s family:'Now is the time to stand together and stand strong. NO MORE NO MORE NO MORE will we sit back and do nothing. The time is here for action. All we ask for is justice and an end to this police brutality. We would like to see the officer/s involved to be arrested, tried and imprisoned (the normal procedure)'
