The Kenya Police Service (KPS) has been in the news lately and not altogether for good reasons. The most recent incident, captured in a video clip, involved a confrontation between a motorist and some traffic officers. KPS appears to absolve the traffic officers from any wrongdoing, perhaps to maintain the service’s esprit de corps. There are precedents of police officers who chose to exercise restraint over violence and that ended with positive outcomes for all. Citizens must hold themselves together exploring all peaceful means of conflict resolution knowing the State has force as a last recourse.
