Police Brutality

#BlackLivesMatter 🇰🇪

Does being a Police Officer make you a Better Human Being?

Does it make you superior to your fellow citizens?

Do you now become Master over the rest of the citizens?

This culture of police brutality started with the colonialists, they used to beat us up, and impose their supposed authority over us, Africans.

Why then are we still upholding these inhumane and animalistic behavior in this day and age, decades after we supposedly got independence.

We have now become our own colonizers and we have lost sight of our own responsibility over ourselves and now we have become even worse than our previous persecuters because the difference is nolonger the colour of our skin but rather the best state of our pockets.

We have become our own downfall, fighting against each other, using the powers in our reach to put others (our own people) down, targeting only our selfish individual desires.The Police are being ‘used’ by those in power leaving the ordinary citizen vulnerable and with no one to defend them.

How long are we gonna lose our youth and innocent members of our society to police brutality?

When are we planning to actually do something about it?

If this cancerous trend continues it will lead to an unwanted revolt that will end up costing us a lot more than is necessary.The Power of the Uniform, is not to subject fellow citizens / Kenyans to corporal punishment, but it should be to Protect and Defend their interests without bias.

We need to stand up and make our voice heard and bring about an end to this menace. Before it gets to a point where we have to go to the streets and burn things down just so that we can be heard.

Whether a person is caught violating curfew guidelines, caught with weed, drugs or any other crime, the police have no right to exact corporal punishment on the suspect.

WE NEED TO STAND FOR OUR RIGHTS

WITHOUT VIOLENCE AND DESTRUCTION

Let’s be BOLD in these attempts to make Real Progress individually and as a Country, Because we not only owe it to ourselves but also to our forefathers and those who fought hard to ensure we have independence to do exactly that.
