One day you could be carjacked and the thugs sandwich you on the back seat, then the trigger happy cops open fire on the "most wanted criminals" and then it would be too late to tell your story.

There's no safety in numbers.

...is there another witness to testify?

...this cop should be released pronto and promoted.

...when residents come live on tv claiming you are a thief,there is no doubt you are one ,the dpp cant see this,just reacting to "pressure".

...as it stands now, the law to be followed is the thugs shoot/or own guns,they should be shot dead,simple......call it what you want but thats the only language the thugs understand

the script is almost identical all over nairobi. thugs rob, rape and kill. at times in partnership with the police. at times because the police are under-equipped or too afraid to do anything about it. the residents make noise but are on their own. each person handling their damage with acceptance and an occasional word on how the government is failing them. the thugs are however mostly known. but there is never enough evidence to have been convicted. then a cop comes around who just pick up the thugs one by one and murders them. some real thugs are killed. some innocent ones are also killed. but the people are happy as there is at last some semblance of security. this cop, to be honest, shall be the hero to the residents. to those who would have lost their loved ones it would be a different story. to those who would have lost their loved ones who were never guilty to begin with, that is another story.

@Callaspade, well said: We live in a country called Kusadikika, where the fight against crime is won the softest tactics - "rights of the criminals" and the "rule of law".

Watch out for increase in insecurity and crime orchestrated by the boys in your hood. Wait till they come for you or your own brother, sister, father, mother, child or even worse you.
