The problem is that the RPP reports, almost in passing, that in all documented cases no victim has been looked into or his case considered before the execution was perpetrated. No prosecution or investigation had been held either. Rather, the victim was summarily executed.

More so, police routinely threaten haphazard witnesses of these killings with, a t least, one witness, being abducted and killed.

This makes all the difference between justified and non-justified execution, and there becomes no difference between a police and a thug. The very fact that he police threaten witnesses indicates some apprehension on the official's part of his selection and execution of a particular man. One may, further, suspect that not only were some of the killings unjustified, but, using this approach and wilding this power, Africans police may arbitrarily target scapegoats of their choosing whom they wish to manipulate or who have, for instance, offended them or their families in the past.

It is no wonder, given the behavior of Africa's police force, that the country passes from anarchy to anarchy.

The police, after all, demonstrate that violence and injustice is their rule. They are no better than thugs themselves. In return, young members protesting agisnt this state of injustice become strong quell the police. They become the next generation of law-makers and, having no respect for the law themselves, repeat the same pattern with no end in sight.

Africa, in essence, has no government or ever seemed to have for a long time. Rather, what you have is a reiterated chain of thugs who call themselves 'police'. Execution may be permitted in order to bring peace to a violent region. Execution, however, without facade of justice is merely violence in its own right. There is no difference between the police and the gangs. and, therefore, the pattern of anarchy in the region continues unabated.
