The Met has been ordered by a watchdog to hold a gross misconduct hearing into the officer who shot dead Jermaine Baker eight years ago.<\/p>\n
The officer, known as W80, shot the gangster as he tried to free two prisoners from a van near a north London court. In 2017, the Crown Prosecution Service said he should not face criminal charges.<\/p>\n
A public inquiry later ruled Baker, 28, was \u2018lawfully\u2019 killed. But the Independent Office for Police Conduct ordered a gross misconduct hearing, recommending the case be given to another force. Scotland Yard said it is \u2018reviewing\u2019 the order.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Police Federation of England and Wales said last night the IOPC decision to proceed with a hearing was \u2018disgraceful\u2019.<\/p>\n
It comes as hundreds of Met firearms officers are handing in their weapons in a protest against the decision to\u00a0charge a firearms officer with murder for shooting dead a black man in south London.<\/p>\n

Jermaine Baker was shot eight years ago by an officer referred to as W80 as he tried to free two prisoners<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Baker was ruled to have been shot ‘lawfully’ by a public enquiry, but the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) ordered a gross misconduct hearing and recommended the case be conducted by another police force<\/p>\n

In 2017, prosecutors initially didn’t bring criminal charges against the officer who shot Baker.<\/p>\n
But a panel of five justices at the Supreme Court unanimously ruled the IOPC applied the correct legal test when directing the Met to bring disciplinary proceedings against the officer.<\/p>\n
They ruled that civil rather than criminal law applied to disciplinary proceedings relating to the use of force by a police officer.<\/p>\n
Baker was among a group of men trying to free Izzet Eren and his co-defendant as they were transported from Wormwood Scrubs to be sentenced for a firearms offence.<\/p>\n
A number of men were jailed in 2016 for their parts in the plot.<\/p>\n
