50+ years on and we're still battling the struggle; Police brutality. Our ancestors are turning in their graves. This is what they fought for. This is why they took the bullets so that we and our children don't have to.
For me this is outright bordering on people's human rights.
I mean, we can't keep tip toeing around this issue. We've come a long way as a nation not to have in place measures safeguarding human rights and for people not to know the repercussions for infringement of these same rights.
It's no wonder Zambia Police is Referred to as "Zabwino Palibe" in certain parts of the country. That's nyanja (an Eastern Province influenced street language) for "Good for nothing."
They seem to relish the licence to harass that's been bestowed upon them. You can't expect not to get a reaction from aggravation. ( So I ask this, what leaders entertain such?)
The same people that are required by law to protect are the ones people now need protection from - how ironic.
It's a mockery for everything this nation so claims to stand for; a government for the people, of the people, by the people.
This is what happens when you give someone a gun and a licence to kill. There's no such a thing as a good guy with a gun, and this sketch by Stillmatic tells it as it is but not how it's meant to be.
