Why do the police always automatically feel it is their duty to support the government in power and clamp down on the opposition?

NO!
is not like that they don't have option what they trained for was OBEY THE LAST ORDER

They absolutely have no option

It’s funny how all those posting pictures about this incident are not saying what really happened... its a shame that Ben Bruce won’t say the truth... They left the INEC office and proceed to Police HQ and they want to force their way into the Force HQ... Even in the Video posted online by Ben Bruce it showed Dino Melaye trying to push police men that barricaded the way and they pushed them back... They left the police with no choice than to use teargas to disperse them...
