What sort of a nation has Ghana pathetically turned to that those paid by the public for our security and human rights as enshrined in the national constitution are the very ones who unbelievably violate and attack to abuse our security and human rights.

Why is the police always in the bad news? Hoke Dr. Oye Lithur is reading from here about such outrageously despicable attack on an innocent school boy.

No matter what the offence of the boy, what right has the police to beat him and what does our laws say when an offender is arrested?

The Officer who asked the boys father to bring the injured boy to court the next day should have his dress removed and those found guilty of gang beating the boy prosecuted to serve as a lesson to the other unscrupulous police officers.

No matter what the provocation, police officers are trained to handle tension and have no any right to violently attack to beat the boy up!

Wow!!! Ghana police for u. How on earth can we even allow this nonsense called police to continue working in Ghana and not ban them for life and use the military instead. They have no experience, no good training and instead of doing the right thing, they go on a short cut and pocket money that is kept for the betterment of the police and this is why we have to protest for them to go away because they are all the same. Imagine Kwesi ahwoi is the interior minister and look at that woman calling herself the igp Ahmed Alhassan. God save Ghana

SO WHICH PART OF THE STORY WAS A FARBICATION. WAS THE KID BEATEN BY THE POLICE OR NOT. REGARDLESS OF WHAT LAW THAT WAS BROKEN HE DID NOT DESERVE TO BE BEATEN. POLICE IN GHANA A FOND OF TAKING THE LAW IN THEIR OWN HANDS. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND SHOULD STOP. ONE DOES NOT BRING A PERSON THAT HAS BEEN ASSAULTED BY THE POLICE TO COURT. IF HE HAD COMMITTED AND OFFENSE HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND ARRAIGNED BEFORE A COURT OF LAW. THIS IS REDICULOUS AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

Ghana police is as bad as the Ghana Government. Both have no use for the truth. They thrive on falsehood and deception.

Ghana police are not hard to deal with. You only have to obey them. If you try to break laws and try to be stubborn. they should teach you sense because f they take suspect to court, magistrates collect bribes and leave them back onto the street, thereby making their job harder. They will rather kick your ass with their steel-toe boots.

It seems there are lots of atrocities being commited by police against the very people they are trained, sworn, paid to protect. And it also seems the police administration now has a perchant for defending or covering up the misconducts of some bad element within their fold. Ghana need public interest lawyers who would take on these institution to start paying compensation or some form of ''INSURANCE'' to these victims.
