    The killing is unfortunate but it seems you do not follow issues of this nature very well in the US.
    When it comes to shooting I believe Ghanaian police are more cautious than the police in the US due to the consequences of ...

    This is a very tragic case, but the big question is: why didn't Samuel Asabour stop after noticing that he was being chased?

  • Kwakye frimpong 10 years ago

    Ghana police sometimes can be foolish, poor training could be a factor here. These are trigger happy police and they may need to be removed from the force.

  • Don Vuga 10 years ago

    The police were right to have chased him down, but they were completely wrong in shooting him. The deceased however, should have stopped: if he knew honestly that he had done nothing wrong, he should have pulled over to the s ...
