The problem is that the RPP reports, almost in passing, that in all documented cases no victim has been looked into or his case considered before the execution was perpetrated. No prosecution or investigation had been held either. Rather, the victim was summarily executed.
More so, police routinely threaten haphazard witnesses of these killings with, a t least, one witness, being abducted and killed.
This makes all the difference between justified and non-justified execution, and there becomes no difference between a police and a thug. The very fact that he police threaten witnesses indicates some apprehension on the official's part of his selection and execution of a particular man. One may, further, suspect that not only were some of the killings unjustified, but, using this approach and wilding this power, Africans police may arbitrarily target scapegoats of their choosing whom they wish to manipulate or who have, for instance, offended them or their families in the past.
It is no wonder,...
The police, after all, demonstrate that violence and injustice is their rule. They are no better than thugs themselves. In return, young members protesting agisnt this state of injustice become strong quell the police. They become the next generation of law-makers and, having no respect for the law themselves, repeat the same pattern with no end in sight.
Africa, in essence, has no government or ever seemed to have for a long time. Rather, what you have is a reiterated chain of thugs who call themselves 'police'. Execution may be permitted in order to bring peace to a violent region. Execution, however, without facade of justice is merely violence in its own right. There is no difference between the police and the gangs. and, therefore, the pattern of anarchy in the region continues unabated.

Police Discretion The execution of discretion in judgment among police officers has been studied for decades (De Lint, 1998). Before the 1960's, For some three decades now it has been established knowledge that police officers use discretion (De Lint, 1998). Through the 1960's, officers were expected to use "common sense," with little attention paid to analyzing situations where discretion was called for or for applying specific training to improve the kinds of
SARA Model The Scanning Analysis Response Assessment (SARA) Model of problem-oriented policing is an effective guide that essentially takes the form of "action research" in the sense that police participate in the problem-identifying/problem-solving method of investigation and testing (Center for Problem-Oriented Policing, 2016). SARA can therefore be applied in a realistic setting with positive impact, thus meeting the need for police officers to take a structured approach to problem solving

Organized Crime / Counterterrorism AL CAPONE OR AL QAEDA?: ORGANIZED CRIME AND COUNTERTERRORISM AS LAW ENFORCEMENT PRIORITIES IN 2014 Should law enforcement in America prioritize fighting counter-terrorism or fighting organized crime? A full examination of the history and issues involved with both will, I would argue, make the answer clear: with the proper definitions involved of both terror and organized crime, it is the latter which genuinely deserves the attention of law enforcement, and

This is known among police as "professional courtesy," and violating it has been known to result in the cited officer's commander's contacting the issuing officer's commander with an (informal) complaint, expected to be addressed by an (informal) lecture on the topic of professional courtesy. Occasionally, a "ticket war" will erupt between neighboring police departments, sparked, initially, by the issuance of summonses by officers from one department to off-duty officers from
