Police brutality harbinger of tough times that lie ahead

Refusal to learn from the abundance of history is one of mankind’s biggest failures. The 2008 post-election ignominy is not in the too distant past, and while there are people living in abject poverty and misery as a consequence ten years later, indications are that nothing registered.

In a few days of insanity early this week, reports emerged of riots and police atrocities in parts of the country that resulted in a large number of people getting killed. Not surprisingly, the Government acknowledged that only one person had died; that the police (you can tell that to the birds), acted with restraint.
