What is wrong with Nigerians? Why can’t you join hands and beat those up bastards beating you up? Take way their guns, beat them up too then walk away. That ought to teach some lesson! They will think twice before beating up a civilian. Nigerians stops looking like fools to the outside world.

I am not in support of bribe, but with him parting away with a thousand Naira, would have gone along way. He lost an eye and 150k. Too bad. Some Police are just born wicked.

If I were him, I would probably have given the bribe and save myself of this untold hardship. Sometimes in life, you behave like a fool to let peace reign.

Since the hospitalized man is a lawyer, I believe he will fight this case to the last. Let him never mercy any of them till justice is served.

For how long will every poor Nigerians behave like **** before these wicked men in uniform just for peace to reign? To me, is because we are always afraid of their troubles/brutality that is giving them the impetus to treat everybody the way they like.

It has gotten to the point when Nigerians should start behaving like Americans and start shooting police officers who brutalize them.

I dont get it. N1000 for what if I may ask? If this excess is not checked, maybe one day it will get to a point where the police they claimed to be our friends, will be forcefully demanding money from pedestrians before they walk through the streets.
