The Police Complaints Authority (PCA) has reaffirmed its independence and defended its right to speak on the recent rise in police-involved fatal shootings.
This comes in the wake of a sixth police killing since the declaration of a nationwide State of Emergency on 18th July—most recently, 42-year-old Mustapha Rawlins, who was shot after attacking an officer during a domestic violence response in El Dorado. The previous deaths included two alleged kidnappers and a prison escapee.
The PCA came under criticism and calls for the resignation of its Director after it issued a statement on 23rd July raising concern over the spate of fatal police encounters during the SoE.
