The London Police Department has had to call in officers from neighboring departments after hundreds laid down their weapons in protest of a colleague being charged with murder.

On Sunday, a London Police Officer identified only as “NX121” was arrested for the death of 24-year-old Chris Kaba, who was black, in September 2022.

Kaba was fatally shot in the head while driving a vehicle “believed to be linked to a firearms incident which took place the previous day.”

According to a report from the BBC, as many as 300 armed officers turned in their permits that allow them to carry weapons on the job.

“Many are worried about how the decision impacts on them, on their colleagues and on their families,” said a spokesman for the London Metropolitan Police (the Met), according to a report from France 24. “They are concerned that it signals a shift in the way the decisions they make in the most challenging circumstances will be judged.”

The report noted, “Police in Britain do not routinely carry firearms. The 2,500 Met officers who are authorised to carry guns are normally deployed for specialist missions such as counter-terrorism operations and to protect sites such as parliament, diplomatic missions and airports.”

So many officers had stood down that the government considered bringing in the Army to fill the gaps.

However, by Monday enough officers had returned to duty that they were able to tell them to stand down.

“As of lunchtime on Monday, the number of officers who had returned to armed duties was sufficient for us to no longer require external assistance to meet our counterterrorism responsibilities.”

“As of lunchtime on Monday, the number of officers who had returned to armed duties was sufficient for us to no longer require external assistance to meet our counterterrorism responsibilities,” the department said, according to a reporter from the BBC.

While the army was no longer necessary, the department was still using officers from neighboring departments.

The Biden White House is increasingly worried that his 2024 campaign could be undercut by third party candidates like Cornel West and whoever runs on the ‘No Labels’ ticket.

This has been obvious for months. Democrats have attacked Cornel West since he announced his campaign and have even used legal action against No Labels.

Democrats are thinking back to Jill Stein in 2016 and it’s giving them nightmares.

NBC News reports:

Biden world is worried about spoilers as third parties threaten to boost Trump

There’s a creeping fear inside President Joe Biden’s circle that the greatest threat to his re-election may come less from the Republican nominee and more from minor-party spoiler candidates.

In a new national NBC News poll, Biden is tied with former President Donald Trump, the front-runner for the GOP nomination, at 46% in a head-to-head matchup. But when third-party options are included, Trump leads Biden 39% to 36%.

Whether it’s the academic Cornel West, a yet-to-be-named standard-bearer for the group “No Labels” or nominees of the more established Green and Libertarian parties, the third-party hopefuls have become the chief internal worry in Biden world, according to more than a half-dozen people who are in regular contact with the White House.

“It’s pretty f—ing concerning,” said a person familiar with White House discussions about the matter…

The problem is also twofold for Biden, said the people in regular contact with the White House, all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid angering the president. On one political flank, he faces a well-funded effort by the No Labels group to attract moderate voters. On the other side, West could cut into his base — with both Black voters and some liberal white voters — even if only a little bit.

Hillary Clinton is apparently warning Biden about this.

Democrats have spent the last several years talking about how much they care about ‘our democracy’ so what’s the problem? Doesn’t ‘our democracy’ include other candidates?
