Why you should never date a policeman's ex

Trigger happy policemen have been going around, baying for the blood of their ex-girlfriends and the men these ex loves date or marry.

We have heard many of these cases reported in media. At this rate, will women ever date policemen?

If you missed one such news last week, I will recap it for you. 

An Administration Police officer in Kisumu County, turned a rifle on his alleged ex-girlfriend for leaving him for another man. The furious cop is said to have sprayed at least ten bullets on the iron-sheet shanty where his ex-lover lives, on suspicion that she was having a good time with another man.

The woman identified as Pamela, reportedly said the cop had been to her salon in Kibuye Market earlier on, on the fateful day and threatened that he would kill her “if she did not give him his right”.

What sort of rubbish is that? I mused. I just wondered whether the cop in question has never heard of ‘accepting and moving on?’

Was he trying to suggest that he has never been dumped? In fact, had he married the woman? Had he paid dowry?

If the answer to all these questions is “no”, then why behave, in this day and age, like a cave man?   At this rate, it is high time someone introduced a course for this cadre of security officers on how to handle heartbreaks.

Move on

It is time someone taught these sore cops that in the real world, only a few men manage to get through life without heartbreaks. For lesser mortals, after being dumped by one woman after the other, we don’t necessarily think of murdering anyone. We gracefully move on.

The worst thing such a man can do is wish his damned ex and her new lover get run over by a drunken driver along Thika Superhighway.

I know by now someone is asking himself or herself why I‘m being too hard on cops.

It is simple; too many innocent men have been caught in the crossfire of such murderous cops over their ex-girlfriends.

For instance, in the Kisumu case, an innocent neighbor was hit in the leg by one of the bullets from the sore cop’s rifle. It is upon me to ask such wayward cops to get sober over matters of the heart, before another innocent person is injured.

  No woman deserves a bullet in the head or fear to dump some good-for-nothing cop just because he can turn his rifle on her.  Similarly, no man should fear dating a cop’s ex-girlfriend for fear that he could lose his life.

Simply put, my message to such policemen is that they need to learn how to move on after heart breaks.

Real men do. If there is anyone who deserves cop’s bullets, it is the terrorists causing Kenyans sleepless nights.
