CP SARS vs IGP SARS

FreddyKruger:
When U enter the police force with FSL Certificate then u probably end up like this or worse.
Cuz if the useless police officers were properly educated, a simple call to the Commisioner of Police or ACP would prevent this disaster.

boostdom:
The dead security operatives probably didn't have warrants. These clowns trespass private properties with reckless abandon.

It doesn't matter ...Stand down means stand down ....The IG team is superior to that of the commissioner. Even the commissioner cannot just call the IG in this matter because by the intransigence of his team they have proved to be disloyal to constituted authority

banmee:


So is that your justification for those deaths? You guys do not value lives at all. What a country. Smh.

boostdom:


This is my justification for the death https://www.nairaland.com/4050326/sars-officer-police-inspector-killed/1#60405874

SmartyPants:


Dunno why you guys don't want to read between the lines.

The suspect called a member of the igp's monitoring team who rushed to intervene despite the fact that the Sars guys had a warrant.

What does this tell you?

Clearly the suspect is politically connected and used that to evade search/arrest. The monitoring team guys have a serious case to answer... We need to know why a suspect is on personal terms with the igp's monitoring team.

lozanni:


I agree that they invade private properties without warrants, but did the lGP monitoring team need to shoot to kill? Disarming the SARS team by shooting to wound should have been a better alternative, I think, except where there was exchange of gunfire between the two teams.
Our Policemen need to be properly trained on the rules of engagement among them to avoid needless deaths.

SmartyPants:


Wrong. The highest authority in this case is the search warrant handed down by A COURT OF LAW. No igp's monitoring team nor the igp himself can issue an order superior to that one.

I didn't even click the link. I don't need to. There is no justification whatsoever. You all live a scary horrific cycle that is just amazing to say the least. When does it end. This "do me i do you" mentality will be you all's end one day.

It is irrational and smacks of bad judgment if you intend shooting an equally armed man with a rifle, just to injure. You have probable cause to assume he will shoot you too, especially where there is conflict as stated here.

I am trained in weaponry handling, one of the first things you get taught is that if you are confronting an equally armed opposition and there is heightened tension, and you can draw probable cause that your opponent will shoot, then you have to shoot first...and that is "shoot to immobilize him".

The bad judgment started from the dead security operatives who went there without warrant, and won't stand down even when they had no legal authority to enter that property in the first place.

boostdom:


Where did you get that they had warrant? By them telling the other operatives to call the Commissioner to confirm? Look, no one has the legal authority to intrude your property, not even the president.

All these are reminiscent of a banana republic.

In the story, it was clearly stated they had a warrant to conduct the raid/search
