Are we free and safe in Botswana?

It seems our popos have turned into power hungry, trigger-happy entities. As much as police have a duty to protect civil community, trigger happy and emotionally charged police are going to kill and harm many people, some who could be innocent. We won’t even see action taken against police if the shot parties are innocent. It would just be another “sad story”. At the rate things are going, some officers are going to settle personal scores under duress that it was in line with their work. 

In a bid to enforce law and order, some of police officers want to stamp their authority forgetting that civil society is not in competition with the cops. We should feel safe in their presence of the police not scared of them. A re tla kgona go tshela le batho, re nna re tshogile gore batla re hula marago? Cases of police brutality and harassment are increasing ere and we have valid reason to be scared!
