Was d endsars protests against d entire police force or against SARS? Have u familiarised urself with d demands of d endsars protests which also includes better welfare for policemen?

You dont get it

The entire police force is not appreciated for its work..No cap

They are bad eggs amongst them.. Yea. But let us not forget in a hurry that they are good ones who have been doing their best with little aid from the govt.

SARS you say.. How many police stations have been burnt??
Their cars and valuables destroyed and burnt... Many of them killed in their line of duty

That is also part of it??.

When they do their jobs.. Ppl complain.. Now they dont.. Everyone is complaining...

A police man dies.. No one will come out and condemn it..like he/she is not a human being.. Ppl will even say the deceased deserved it

How do they fight for ppl that dont even care if they die??

This change we seek starts from each of us.

na Ogun GO KILL YOU OLORIBUKU when has police ever protected anyone? they cause more harm than Good. Nigeria hates and fears the police more than arm robbers . so they can all go to hell and if you are one of them . you can go and hang the blood of the innocent will haunt you and your children

Peaceful looter, you are noticed.

"...to create temporary work stations for the police".. Shebi you "woke" guys were happy when policemen were being killed and their stations burned. You deliberately refused to circulate glaring videos of policemen being killed. You deliberately refused to even acknowledge it cos you feel it will detract from your protest. You rather focused on a spurious "massacre" which some sinister interests are using to psychologically manipulate you into accepting anarchy.

Rawtruth1:
Those protesters and their admirers who cheered them while they were slaughtering policemen should police the cities. All man for himself. They murdered sleep, let everyone suffer the effects. Now you know the importance of policemen despite their shortcomings

The police officers disgraced themselves. Let them protest & fight for their rights. No they are there talking trash....

Nigeria has bunch of jokers who think they're intelligent. How do u expect police to confront hoodlums in this situation when you're gathering data on police harassment?
To do what? Only force can disperse African minded hoodlums!
fools everywhere.

If u answered d 2 questions I asked, it would have addressed all these concerns u raised

Was d endsars protests against d entire police force or against SARS? Have u familiarised urself with d demands of d endsars protests which also includes better welfare for policemen?

You're delusional. You have been so brainwashed, hoodlums are no longer hoodlums to you, they are now "hungry and angry youths" that are so powerful, sacred and untouchable

Eriokanmi:
I wonder what would the police do among thousands of hungry and angry youths. They decided not to do anything in their best interest and for the safety of their lives. Even army didn't dare. Any officer who shoots and kills one of them might not be so lucky to release the second bullet before he would be mobbed.

misano:


The police have always been very weak. That was what the protest was about. This protest was for the gains of the police but dey were too stupid to fight for their rights.

Police being weak is a good thing. You peaceful protesters wants to make them useless.

Neddstark:
If I be policeman and I get a SOS call to stop looting somewhere, I and my team will first branch at Iya Amala. We go chop better food, drink Sprite on top. Smoke cigar small then drive carefully without obstructing traffic to the spot of the looting when probably they have looted. Because SARS harassed and extorted people, the whole youth made monsters out of policemen as if they are not human beings or good ones among the force. As if they are not husbands, fathers, brothers, sons and uncles. If the whole entire Nigerian police was corrupt, you think you will be able to walk on the streets?

On social media, when police were killed by hoodlums alot of Nigerians celebrated their deaths saying "Good for them", "Karma" etc. Now you want them to put their lives on risk for people that don't appreciate them? No wahala. Better call vigilante to come and protect you.

Don't even start that shyt that they are being paid for it. You guys overstretched the Endsars matter even when the FG, State governments and the police promised to do a reform. A reform that 80% of police wanted to repair its damaging image. Get a security man, treat him like crap and accuse him of stealing everytime, let thief come one day, you think he will fight them for you? You are on a long thing.

police re not doing us any favor. Are they not paid with taxpayers money ? biko,let Dem come and do their duty that's wat dey re being paid for

Rawtruth1:

That means u are oblivious & ignorant of d demands of d endsars protesters which includes better welfare 4d police. How can people fighting for better welfare 4d police be cheering when police men are being slaughtered? Try to always get ur facts right for balanced perspective

• Hoodlums harass Lagos, Abuja residents as police fail to return to streets

• Soldiers battle FCT looters, miscreants clash in Lagos, attack BRT bus

• IGP, all heads of security agencies should face ICC prosecution, say groups

If U don't know D protesters 5of5 then dats not my fault. Go & find that out & come back to me.

Retire this guy as a peace offering to this situation, and get a fresh person as IGP, but as usual, he will wait till the situation deteriorates before taking action

Angelfrost:


There are very few nations in this world where law enforcement and the entire citizenry have a cordial relationship... Even the Almighty America has the bulk of her citizens constantly in discontent or at daggers drawn with law enforcement... So, you haven't really struck a new chord sir.

You are wrong about the US. Support for the police is very wide. Anti-police sentiment is mostly political. Many Americans would publicly state their support for cops based on pure conviction. How many civilians will publicly support the police?

Yet... How many of these nations do the bulk of law enforcement go AWOL in times of anarchy or when the nation is being overrun by criminals (you clearly have chosen to continue to muddle the line between protesters and hoodlums)??!... At what point during the over one week long protest did protesting youths attack or show acts of violence towards law enforcement??!...

It happens all the time. In recent BLM protests, cops went AWOL or refuse to intervene which allows looters to burn down businesses. This forced private militias to start guarding businesses and then we have the Rittenhouse incident.

Where in the constitution is it allowed for sworn members of law enforcement to abdicate or totally abandon their duties out of grievance against citizens??!

Where in the constitution does it say that some people can barricade public road for more than a week and cause pain to motorists, workers and people seeking their daily bread?
What parts of the constitution mandates police to defend people who want them dead, hates their presence and cheer their mobbing on social media? Only a sick cop will even confront an armed thug because he would be risking his life and reputation for a people who would call for his head because he is a cop and thus must be wrong.
Many of you are even claiming that police are useless and are not needed.

See... We are adults! Let's post with decorum and objectivity!!! Your prejudice against protests and mass action is way past puerile!

You cannot continue to support anarchy while asking for special peace for yourself. One positive result of this riots is that the rich who engaged in self-sabotage have lost their privilege. The crime genie is out of the bottle and the worst is yet to come.

We know your game, changing the narrative to absolve yourself of responsibility for the ensuing chaos. The foundation was laid with "no leader" claim of the tricky anarchists. This is to ensure that no one could be held responsible for anything.

That's right.

And they also have a right to self preservation.

it wasn't overstretched , they have been promising for ages and this time we didn't want to take chances.
After this they will think twice before harassing anyone.Make they dey their dey make we dey our dey. After all for my area na only when robbery or crime finish na police dey show and Dem go come arrest innocent people.

Firstly, I have never supported anarchy!!!... My issue with most you is that you can't seem to make a clear distinction between Anarchists and activists or protesters (demonstrators)!!!

This is exactly what Rev. Sam Adeyemi and people with intelligence have been correcting and pointing out!!!... You can't keep demonizing mass actions and civil protests as anarchy, and expect to get a better nation!!! This is why our leaders have deliberately gone deaf and dumb!!!

If the security forces had lived up to their duties from day one of the protests, and done their damn jobs, would hoodlums dare hijack protests??!... If military hadn't chosen to go mad by opening fire on unarmed protesters, would there have been escalation?!!...

Isn't it clear to any intelligent and sane individual that your leaders and security agents are greatly to blame for the woes that befell the nation in the last couple of days??!... Need I explain further??! Can you be so blinded by misplaced patriotism or sycophancy to see the clear obvious treason perpetrated by the army and police force??!

Well, you guys should continue singing the lame song of blame!!! The nation has already become a laughing stock!!! A nation where leaders and security agents fold their arms or lack basic clues on how to check growing agitations and restiveness, is a nation doomed already!!!

You should be embarrassed and sober, instead of changing, comparing, and twisting analogies!!!

Your security failed in their duties not because protesters prevented them from doing their jobs... Nah, they deliberately abdicated their duties because they were aggrieved at being called out, criticized, and compelled to reform!!!

Let's learn to state clear facts, not trying too hard to sound politically correct!!! Thank you.

Rawtruth1:

Use your fvcking brain!!!

There is a clear difference between protesters and miscreants!!!

Miscreants never protested in their lives! They simply saw an opportunity of an abdication of duties by security forces and unleashed terror on all... Even protesters were not spared!!!

The people who were paid to kill and maim protesters in Abuja, were they also protesting??!... In the over one week long protest, did any security officer get harmed??!

Many of you are just overfed and slow!!! Damn!!!

Then good, they are being paid with tax payers money so if they don't want to do their jobs a competent IG would call them to order and hold the DPOs accountable, is like saying you won't attend to customers because your boss chastised you, you are as good as loosing your jobs.

If I was the Ig, I would get names of those officers that are assigned to those areas were hoodlums are still operating, have them question and the second time it happens na sanction.

You said the youth painted them with same brush, were you not aware when the youth were busy helping them demanding their rights, were you not aware when the youth uplifted and commended those who were doing well?

Oga IG is not competent, they don't even give a F about his order that alone proves my point.

They've used this one's brain to blow koso: so a hoodlum can't be married? If a person is married, he automatically cannot rob? Or if he is gainfully employed he cannot still rob? Most of the robbers and hoodlums looting and harassing people are married and have some form of means of livelihood. Looting and robbery are opportunistic crimes they carry out when there is a breakdown of law and order. This your reasoning is what happens when people can't reason for themselves and blindly follow the bandwagon

Eriokanmi:

It will take some time for the psychological trauma experience by the police to be healed.

Their morale is very very low now. They need alot of words of encouragement and motivation to boast them up fast.

I pity them.

I pity this IGP in this difficult period. His hands are tired. This country is in total confusion both the leaders and the followers as no one has the answer/s for now.

Why are u wasting your times with online hoodlums?

It is not possible for police to discharge their duty free of bribery of corruption. Efficient police will solve 50% of national problems . No online hoodlum should quote me

How do you expect the Nigerian Policeman to dominate and Saturate the streets, protect critical infrastructure and prevent looting when the streets are no longer paying. Policing in Nigeria in Nigeria is not borne out of passion for the job, but out of a desire to oppress the defenseless and extort from the general public. Policing in Nigeria is a scam!
