In Embu, a deputy OCS shot and seriously injured a matatu driver who is now hospitalised over what could have been solved with dialogue or the right arrest procedure if he was wrong.

Kenyans are living at the mercy of police officers who exercise authority violently because they wield a gun. Trigger happy police officers should be shown the exit door immediately after committing such crimes.

Many innocent Kenyans have died in the hands of cops intoxicated with power and sometimes even alcohol. Such cops even plant weapons on citizens to justify their act.
