@rasilio,pondi.....they hit you with blunt objects otherwise you sue for torture.
...and then later in the night, they release you to the hardcore fellows in the cells who make you their girlfriend that night......Laughing out loudly

Have just watched the video. I know it is illegal and all to resist arrest but huyu polisi 'alitafuta' this poor truck driver. In fact the poor dude got as much as he gave if not more.

That was very sad, Kenyans just watching an Officer being beaten like that....they still expect the same Cop to safeguard their interests elsewhere.

I really hope the truck driver is ok because i'm sure alichapwa at the police station.....assaulting an Officer!

Taz if it isn't obvious to policemen in Kenya that people do not believe they are "safeguarding" the mwananchi's interest, I don't know what to say.

The fact that everyone in this forum knows that the police beat up this guy and tortured him is a very very serious indictment of the police force. No one trusts them to do the legal and right thing.

Someone once told me that if you exchange policemen and those in Kamiti in the streets, there will be no change in the crime rate.

Those people in the video seem to agree.

Somehow, part of my heart tells me to pity the driver and would have wished he got away with it... the other part tells me we would loose all confidence with the police force if they cant contain one person..... Having a friend who was a former cop makes me now understand cops as people. he explained to me how they are forced by their seniors to 'bring back' a certain amount of cash otherwise, you risk spending your days doing shoddy jobs and not going on patrol (of course patrol is lucrative).... so if such a cop had a target, who do you blame? the cop or the system?

But clearly, the cops are so ill equipped on how to deal with citizens... violence never works. what would he have lost if he let the guy go without fighting him and calling othr cops to handle him along the way as they did? He wouldnt do the same when there are many officers.... they would still have managed to arrest him if he had any mistake... professionally...

As for the people in that video... they carried the kenyan spirit well... they did not disappoint... thats how we all are... how many times have you tried to stop a fight in town, or even in your hood?

cut the dude some slack...we are all on the same side fighting the corrupt system. we wazuans use such online forums, drunkards in pre-mututho times used bars to rain criticism on cops while others like alston yap yada yada about police reforms in long briefs - this guy only took the fight to a personal level - the best way known to him.

BTW, when u see a traffic policeman having lunch, what is the first thought that comes to mind about where the cash to pay for the meal came from?

Both were wrong but guys our biggest concern should be whether that guy will live to see another day.
My fear is unless the media take up the story the guy will dissapear from the public radar kabisa or be found in some dark alley or road by pass with gun wounds on his sorry ass!likewise dont be surprised to see him on news in the near future for having exchanged fire with the mboys in mbru and was nshot ndead and a gun found on him.

A case in point,Around April last year in Kisii Some drunk idiots blocked my way at around midnite when i was driving home.We had a brief exchange of nasty words only to turn out that they were CID officers/flying squad i thank God am still alive coz they chose to beat me senseless and drop me at the local police station for an overnite stay.I say i was lucky coz they would choose to do anything and fabricate stories.The idiots were drunk but forcefully bundled me in my car boot and drove my car to the station.Thats kenyan Police for u.But i still feel for the cop in that clip who is nursing a bloody nose and may be a broken rib.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

@keraka you are totally right.

But you are assuming that we have journalists in Kenya. This video should have been story no1. yesterday but they were busy reporting on ODM issues.

The kenyan journalist is busy on another post on wazua telling us how there is a mass exodus from KTN. like we care.

I have a feeling that cops especially CID would arrest you for looking at them sideways and then charge you with obtaining by false pretense.

where are kenyan lawyers who claim there are no opportunities. Take up this guys case and watch yourself become a hero and make more money than you ever dreamed of. Ooops sorry i forgot, they are busy trying to be the magistrate who will jail this guy for 500 years.

Just saw the video gosh if this guy survives it will be by grace of God...I think he is lucky someone is taping it...but dont be surprised if he turns out dead...I saw a guy who was arrested sometimes back,a cocacola employee,he was put into a landrover having been injured by a stray bullet i think he was shot on the arm.The next day He was found in city mortuary with multiple gunshots one In the head.
