MizMyColi:

I can bet my breakfast this morning that you are no more incensed at injustice and oppression than I am.
I get angry. I get sad. Sometimes when I see the grave injustice others perpetrate on others, I unknowingly wish them ill and other times, even when my conscience is telling me that it's not the best way, I simply tell myself that I don't give a fvck and still say what's on my mind. Well, everytime I've tried going against my conscience....I kinda always pay for it.
This is life.
And we must continually seek ways to better ourselves.
I ask myself, what has an eye for an eye really solved? Nothing.
I and everyone reading this should aspire to rise above. They should aspire to be better.
Forgiveness does not change the past. But it does enlarge the future.
I still stand on my first words on this thread.
Peace.

You Idiocy makes me wanna puke this hot afternoon. What is wrong with you? Laws are made to be carried out irrespective of who is affected. That young lad's death was not an accident. That Policeman did not mistakenly shoot that young man. Did you even read the narrative at all?

The Idiot [Policeman] had evil intentions and carried them out. Nature has the law of Cause and Effect. You can't unjustly take away the life of another human being and expect to have yours. I'm not sure you'd take this position if the victim was you or any of your relatives.

Let me tell you a story:
November 25, 2008. 7:50PM. I boarded a Taxi home from Garrison Bustop to Town Area of PH. We were just 3 in the car. After some time some 3 men joined us making us 6. Normally in Port Harcourt, taxis don't take more than 5 passengers at a time [2 in front, 3 at the back].

I humbly explained to the Driver that I was feeling uncomfortable with the crowd. I did not know that the 3 men that entered the car were Policemen. I did not talk to them o. I was talking to the Driver o.

When the car got to CBN building [after the present day SPAR], these men dragged me out of the car and beat me seriously. What was my offence? I complained to the Driver that I was feeling uncomfortable.

The beating lasted more than 30 minutes by my estimate. I was only lucky to have survived. There was nothing these beasts did not use on my body. They tried to drown me in those filthy, mosquito-infected gutters beside NIPOST building. When they were satisfied, they left me feeling I was dead. I only regained consciousness at about 6:30AM [or thereabout] the next day [that's when my folks said I returned] and some people who were going to work helped me find a taxi and took me to my house.

Adannaya, biko Stop your Hypocrisy abeg. If na you dem shoot, you would want justice. But, on the other hand, if you think aggrieved people should never seek justice, and you support Police Brutality on this Nairaland, then, here's what I have to say to you: Ekwensu kpoo gi oku dia

Useless trigger -hungry Policeman...... Animal

This is good news and a change. It took 5 years to bring this officer to book. Kudos to the Judge.

They say POLICE is your friend, this is a BIG LIE. They say bail is FREE, this is a BIG LIE.

How can a POLICE man put on a black shirt, black trouser, black cap, black shoe, carry a black gun with a black heart and walk in the darkness to shoot a helpless and law abiding citizen of this country going about his legal and normal business.

Our hard earned tax pays their salaries, buys their uniforms and guns but still they use our tax payers money to intimidate us and kill us.

Chai, there is God oooooooooo
