Its very sad. The problem is with police command there not doing the right thing at all. There is no way we can have police officers who reserve manning our police statns and handling firearms. No no check it out.

Sad story indeed.Somebody please shed some light on this issue… According to the news on National TV,the shooting was done by a reserve police officer,and according to law,such officer is not supposed to handle a police firearm.So the question is,who allowed him to discharge the police firearm,
or did he use his personal gun to shoot at an innocent person?

I know for a fact that one of the people arrested for this was not even there and was in fact arrested at his home and had to attend hospital for treatment after the so called police beat him up.
There are witnesses who will testify to him not being at the riots.
There was also a lot of witnesses to his beating.
I am amazed that you Zambians tolerate such thugs as a police force.
