Farai Dziva|The MDC Alliance(Youth Assembly) has described the level of police brutality in the country as shocking.

On Monday overzealous cops threw tear gas canisters into a bus full of children and the elderly…

Barbaric acts by thugs disguised as members of the Zimbabwe Republic Police who recklessly tear gassed a bus carrying passengers including the elderly and the minors must never go unchallenged.

The inhumane act by some rogue police elements which occured in Harare on Monday at Showgrounds must never go unpunished.

It is very clear that the police force is now a danger to the public as exhibited by their recent acts of brutality.

This is not the first time that the police have exhibited animalistic behavior on innocent citizens.

Just a year ago, the same police force gruesomely hit a vendor Hilton Tamangani with iron bars and fists at a basement at QV Pharmacy in Angwa street.

Tamangani later succumbed to sustained injuries at Harare Remand Prison.

Earlier this year, the same police force was at it again when they released the trio of MDC Alliance female youth leaders, Joana Mamombe, Cecilia Chimbiri and Netsai Marova into the custody of abductors after the police spokesperson Paul Nyathi had initially indicated that the trio were in police custody.

Few months later, the same unrepentant police force bashed a sprawling MDC Alliance Deputy Youth Spokesperson, Womberai Nhende at Morgan Richard Tsvangirai house. Up to now Nhende is walking wounded as a result of police brutality.

As if that was not enough, the same police force today summoned some foolish intelligence or lack of it and threw tear gas right into a bus carrying passengers.

Of importance to note for citizens is that the bus was not carrying MDC Alliance supporters but citizens from diverse backgrounds and political inclinations.

What this means is that no one is safe from this bunch of rogue police officers that behaves worse than the colonial black watchers (mabhurakwacha).

As citizens, we are no longer safe from this monster regime.

Resistance is now a must for every citizen because injustice is everywhere.

Surely if we can not be moved by today’s horrible police behavior, then something is wrong with us as a people.

In a normal society Police Commissioner General, Godwin Matanga is supposed to resign with immediate effect. Anything other than that is pure nonsense!
