The cops,too,are human!

The whole country was dismayed at the manner in which the Police executed suspected thugs last week and we were quick to condemn the action of the cops forgetting that many lives are lost on a daily basis throughout the country courtesy of thugs.
The manner in which those people were killed left alot to be desired,yes,the cops failed.I would like to commend the government,especially the Minister of Internal Security,Hon.George Saitot,for admitting publicly that there was a mistake.
Hardly a week passed and the thugs hit back,shooting two cops.What amazed me was the failure by human rights groups or anyone in government,to condemn what the thugs had done.Many cops have lost their lives in the line of duty.The same week,we saw a truck driver whipping a traffic Police Officer like a child,that was despicable!
It's true,they are paid for their job,but we,as the citizens of Kenya,need to learn a lesson or two on gratitude.The cops are human too and any loss of human life should be condemned equally.
On a different note,I would like to urge the government to take the Police back for some lessons on 'customer care' or 'Public relations',that's an area they are poor at.

  1. The cops maybe the architects of the violence against them hence the need to handle the public with respect

  4. @ anonymous,true,thugs are thugs but the cops have no mandate to execute at will and again we have courts of law.

  5. Very true @Fauz. Regarding the 3 cold murders a couple of days ago. I was extremely perturbed by their merciless reaction towards these 'supposed' criminals who had actually surrendered???No matter how dangerous they are to the public, no section of the law allowed them to do so. It makes wander in thoughts, if i have a security problem, where should i run to?
