Let's stop hypocrisy in dealing with DP Ruto's pilot case

It beats me how a mere push of a law enforcement officer by a civilian creates news. In fact, the officer who was shoved to the ground in that viral video should be fired. I mean, if she is tasked with protecting and serving, what’s her business crying rather than arrest the offender?

Although this calls for condemnation of the perpetrator and their prosecution if evidence supports guilt, the level of hypocrisy the case has reached is appalling. Case in point is the late 2000s, when we witnessed the beating and dragging of a policeman on the dusty Thika Road by a truck driver, where all the onlookers cheered. No one raised a finger. In other parts of the country, the media has aired images of officers with bloody faces, broken noses, and broken limbs. All these result from disagreement with civilians on various issues, which form part of our democracy.
