Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has announced plans to introduce a legal presumption of anonymity for firearms officers facing criminal proceedings following police shootings, up until conviction. The reform comes in the wake of the acquittal of Sergeant Martyn Blake, a Scotland Yard officer cleared of murdering 24-year-old Chris Kaba, who was shot during a police stop two years ago.
Kaba, who was later revealed to be a "core member" of a dangerous London gang, was unarmed at the time of the shooting.

Sources described Blake's life as a "nightmare," lived in fear for himself and his family.
