Violent policing sabotages criminal justiceWelcomed by the poetry of Anthem Republik, over 500 men, women and children crowded into Kayole’s social hall on Thursday. If the socio-economic conditions create the violence, violent policingfeeds it. The greatest danger of violent policing and unlawful executions is that it sabotages possibility of our criminaljustice working fairly for all. Let those who justify violent policing stop pretending that it is stopping the vicious cycle of violence. Unlawful policing is fuelled by corruption and the abuse of laws and institutions in the hands of a few police officers.
