I commend DCOP Kofi Boakye for arresting these police criminals. They should be sentenced to death.
My sympathy goes to Tawiah's family.
A BIG SHAME TO THE POLICE!

Even if he is the suspect, why killed him. They should just arrest the suspect.

This is manslaughter. The policemen did not set out to kill the boy. They genuinely thought they were doing their work but they unfortunately went overboard, resulting in the death of the boy. This is sad.

According to the report, the young man was brutally beaten with batons and dragged on the street. Which part of that is "doing work"?

The prosecutor will look at the evidence and decide whether s/he will press murder or manslaughter charges. If he fought the police and resisted arrest, it could be manslaughter but if he submitted to the arrest but they decided to beat him, that is second degree murder. It can not be a first degree murder because the police officers did not pre-meditate i.e. they did not plan the murder before chasing Tawiah

I will like to thank you even amongst all the insult. I have learned something from you about the law today. I have been wondering what the differences. This is the law you are talking about and you are in no way saying the police are innocent. They will still be sent to court and evidence will be brought. RIP Tawiah, sad this has happened

What a stupid fool, what part of the statement did you not understand to call such a stupid act on the part of the police a national duty?. If you brother is among them, then start praying. No wonder you call yourself (VI)

But when the investigations start and people start to testify as to what went on, you will see. Ghana has changed and the Police and Military have to know that. For all you know, somebody might have recorded what happened. From what we have so far read, the Police did not behave professionally. Now, I wish the parents or family of the Tawiah sue the Police service, The IGP and also press criminal charges against the said policemen. The only time I expect the police to use brute force is when they are attacked, in a shootout or terrorism is involved.
WHAT IS THE MILITARY DOING ABOUT THEIR MEN WHO BRUTALIZED CIVILIANS OVER A STOLEN CELLPHONE? HAVE THEY ALSO BEEN ARRESTED AND WILL BE CHARGED? OUR CDS IS NOT SERIOUS. THOSE ABONGO BOYS SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN GUARDROOMS BY NOW.CIVILIANS ARE NOT ANIMALS BUT HUMANS.

Nonsense. How can three police men use such brute force in an arrest of a defenceless boy/man? Is that how to do a job?

Ghanaians in general and for that matter Africans still behave as if we live in the stone age era. Feel really ashamed being a Ghanaian with this animalistic primitive behavior.

These Three Policemen Must Be Made To Face The Law If Found Culpable. Does The Police Has The Right To Brutalize Someone For Being A Criminal? Where Is The Rule Of Law In Such Acts? We Know That The Actions Of These Policemen Which Has Led To The Death Of This Innocent Young Man Has Been The Order Of Security Personnel And Civilian Relationship In The Country Since Time Immemorial But In This Particular Case We Want Justice To Be Administered On Behalf Of The Deceased? I Would Advise The Family Of The Deceased The Sue The Police Service If They Fail To Live Up To Their Words. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. We Want To See The Country Being Ruled By Laws And Not By Men. The Revolution Era Is Over And Over For Good In The Name Of God Almighty. The Security Personnel Should Be Made To Know In Their Training That No One Is Above The Law. They Are Supposed To Protect The Citizens And Were Expect Them To Do So With Respect For Human Lives, Thoughtfulness, Safety, Diligence And Above All Love For One Another.

The police can not be advising the public against instant justice and engaging In same,what incriminating evidence can be more than killing an innocent person?I dont know the kind of orientation the police go through,simple issues re dramatist by the police,they can lie easily on people including traffic ofenders and once you get to the station everybody there think the same including the commanders and the next thing you hear is charge him for court,before you realize another person is telling you to find a way of settling with them because some people were taken to court and were fine such amount of money so at the end of the day,the take money and allow you to walk.We ve become corrupt that if care is not taken one day we ll wake up to hear what usually happens in other juridictions,where a gun man can load his gun and discharge it on police officers.There re mad men everywhere and it takes some of this things to bring it out.
