Bravado doesn't security make. Otherwise by this time, counting the number of people who have died innocently or otherwise in the hands of rogue cops hasn't decreased the crime rate.
You can't support extra judicial killings and expect security. Either the cops are following the law in their duties or they are also criminals but with a uniform.
This alleged story of a witness being shot by this "wonderful" cop has no difference from the Tebes story where a witness was shot and killed by thugs. They are all thugs.
We allowed them to kill "thugs", now we want to allow them to kill witnesses. What's next, kill your mom for not raising a good law abiding son?
We all wish your ideal world to happen, but it wont, unfortunately. Our wishes actually don't count, coz a cop will in all likelihood shoot dead an armed thug tupende tusipende. The route of Justice failed miserably to deal with mungiki, MRC and other gangs, and would fail again, coz you dont seem to understand why they opt to finish these boys.
I dont know where you live, but If I start narrating stories by thug-attack survivors , you will shed tears. There are a few rogue cops in Kenya, and please dont lecture me about bribes as usual.
Of all the innocent people I know who have been felled by the bullet, they are ALL victims of armed thugs. Some even had their wives and daughters raped right infront of them before being executed....people I know. Where I come from, I don't know of a single innocent victim of police gunshots, I only read those stories in the papers.
I'm not defending cops, but I would rather die than show the slightest compassion to a thug. All in all, may we prevail over this menace!
TULIA.........UFUNZWE!
