This is what police should be.
Even when effecting an arrest it should be with 100% professionalism.
The rogues in the police outnumbered the good ones.
I pray we get it right soon.

dis RRS guys are struggling to salvage what is left of the @PoliceNG
. I have seen efforts from them of recent. Sadly, it is dwarfed by the foolishness of the majority of members especially SARS.

Stories like this give a ray of hope. Please train and retrain your rank and file. The negative & oppresive aura the police emits is nauseating. It’s almost as if they are set-up to ride roughshod on unsuspecting citizens. @rrslagos767 is a shining light. God bless u
