Was this Kenyan Cop doing this for humanity's sake or for something fishy? |
Good news is that Kenyans are ready to move on after the ending of the Presidential election… the bad news is that most of them do not see the need to ditch politics and live with the consequences.
Now that the Jubilee candidate and the incumbent President emerged the winner of the repeat elections, we have to move on as if nothing happened.
In some areas in this country, people feel they were excluded from the process and they think that Uhuru Kenyatta does not represent the majority. It is sad that there is so minimal chance that something might happen to change everything. However, only the courts of Law have a right to give them another chance.
Politics aside,
Well, not everything should be politicized for the benefit of bringing down the regime that is in power.
I do not see the reason why the police officers who are trying to quell post-election demonstrations should all be labeled as the government mercenaries, sent to kill the protesting youths.
We have to admit that there are a few elements in the police force that are tainting the name of the Kenyan police force. However, we do have some great people who were born to serve Kenyans irrespective of their ethnic affiliations.
Crying KENYAN cop that moved Kenyans |
There are two pictures on the internet that are moving Kenyans in different directions: The photo of a crying police officer and the one that shows a Kenyan cop trying to pull two school girls from direct fire.
I wonder why people were moving by tears more than how they should have felt by the cop trying to rescue the two girls.
It is so distressing that by taking political views of the matter that we find where the problem is.
The weeping Police officer, as per the majority, was moved by what he was seeing--- the fight between the police and the protesting youths--- that made him shade tears. Really? What happens when you are exposed to tear gas?
Now, the opposition side is trying very hard to crucify the cop who was pictured trying to pull two schoolgirls away from the wall.
The teargas cloud in the background should tell us the circumstances under which the picture was taken. So sad that people are easy to judge… forgetting the fact that the two girls were so scared, either from their rescuer or from what was happening around them.
I believe the cop was being a good example to other police officers. He did what was good but Kenyans, die-hard opposition political minds, thinks he was up to no good.
Oops! Politics will destroy Kenya if people are not careful.
