More than 85% personnel of Nigerian Police are mentally unstable. You can take that to the bank!

And they have the nerve to blame the victims for how they dress too.

I didn’t know thieves and olosho have uniforms

healthserve:
Profiling ke.. More like sick degenerative entities who have pre-emptive and stereotypical expectations and assumptions that if you're clean or not scruffy you're a " thief".

Same stereotypical reasoning permeates into the ordinary citizenry where people come up with all sorts of delusional projections and judge issues/people without careful rationalisations. Needless to give examples, but let me put out a few, you sound intelligent, you're a fraudster just using English to disguise. You dress well as a lady, you're an olosho


U wanton hurried assumptions is now replacing rationalism and critical thinking in the society. Deal with it. Too many in this society are too mentally ill to even know their own conditions and too broke to seek needful help for corrections.


Trust me, over 80% are mentally unstable. If you doubt it, at the close of day observe the frantic lunatic displays in the mad craze displayed... You'll see the sickness in the heart and mind of the society

the big deal is that everyone should be outraged and speak up against it.

In America no one will tell you to stop being black or Hispanic to avoid being profiled. Wrong is wrong and it will be condemned. That’s a first step at least.

Here in Nigeria, we side with the oppressors and blame the oppressed for attracting it to themselves. That whacked mentality has to stop.

The police (NPF) are doing their jobs.

You dress like a criminal, you will attract attention. Washington police, is not the standard for police operations globally. In fact, policing is local.

Dress the way, you want to be addressed

Did you read my comment very well and you reflected upon it?

Did I not say that having that look doesn't justify you as a criminal?

That's what I first said...

It doesn't justify you as a criminal but it gives people negative impression about your morality, therefore someone who should be enjoining good and morals shouldn't have that look... People should look at him and see good examples...

That's my point... What you have said doesn't counter what I've said.. you actually buttressed my first point
Abeg shift. I’m tired of all you moral police. Na your type dey sars.

What does tattoo or dreads have to do with morals?

I don’t blame some of you here for thinking the way you think. I remember my first time in downtown dallas Texas, na so I see almost all the black dudes and white guys with tattoos. Me wey my mind don Dey programmed from naija that if you have a tattoo then you are a cultist .:: na so I Dey look everybody with double eyes .. I come go Chicago come see women dey get different tattoo, Dey smoke both cigar and Igbo ,na so I just Dey assume say aall of dem be Olôsho. It took a while for me to understand that it’s just normal and that having a tattoo or smoking cigarettes doesn’t make you a criminal or a cultist .. even policemen for here gets plenty tattoo ..
cc iamstrange
Exactly.

If some Nigerian police officers and Nigerian assistant jesus’ spend time in some European countries e.g Netherlands, they will take knife and chook themselves.

Just like mayorkun said; he doesn’t use police escort because of criminals, he uses them because of other police officers themselves.

That’s the surest way to play in lagos if you don’t want anyone to harass you especially if you have tattoos and piercings and died hair.

American police shoot black people because of hoodies and tats.
They even have no sagging policies in some cities.
Re: US Police Officer Reacts As Nigerian Police Profile Him Because Of His Braids by jaxxy(m): 10:09am On Dec 25, 2019
It might be due to a cultural difference. Our police are still in the 19th century and yet to catch up with the realities of our Modern times.
Re: US Police Officer Reacts As Nigerian Police Profile Him Because Of His Braids by IpobAntidote: 10:10am On Dec 25, 2019
Na wa oh, everyone just dey look for cheap attention.
Can this officer tell us if the police in the US does not do racial profiling.
Lmao, this is so common in the US that it's not even news anymore. If you wear baggy pants, drive a nice car, have tattoos, sagging your pants, wear a sweat shirt with a hood and you are black or Hispanic, the police are more than likely going to treat you like a criminal. I beg Google Travon Martin and many more that have been killed, molested and judges as criminals by cops just because of their looks.

Is wearing of braid or dreadlocks now a criminal offense? Those coppers acted mostly out of ignorance or in over zealousness.

Even though having that look and that hair on you shouldn't be enough to label you a criminal, in really sane societies (not societies that people think is sane), you shouldn't be having that look.

Like in the societies Imes has influenced.. grin

First that look in and of itself is irresponsible..

Secondly, it is not appropriate for soneone who stands as being part of a force that curbs people's excesses and irresponsible acts in the society to be having that look.

If you are cleanser, then you yourself should look clean.. If you want to rid a society of corruption, then you should be corrupt free.. you may make mistakes sometimes of which no human is free but generally, you should be corrupt free.

If you want to enjoin good and forbid evil, then people who look at you should see positive examples.

if it were to be in the society influenced by Imes, you will not be having that type of hair and be a policeman. I trust my Imes.. . It will never happen!!!

Imes is the end of days, the days when nonsense like this will be accepted without shame and he is the beginning of new days when nonsense like this will be frowned upon grin

Imes, we await your coming grin
This one is a total slave. Where did you learn idea of sane society from?

Whose trying to eradicate it? Trump or all the police unions who supports such behavior? I beg park well if you don't know what you are talking about.

Did I say it's ok? NO. Just telling the uninformed that its even more prevalent in the US than in Nigeria.
People like you are the ones giving people false hope only for them to reach thr US and all of a sudden realized that it's not all golden.
