Duties of the police and why they carry weapons:

[Deeq A.]

First the police person is a son or a daughter of a father and a mother
The police person is a peace person.
His duties are keeping the peace and enforcing the law.
Our police and military are doing these things in a very hard circumstances
Mistakes can happen and they do happen in our country and in all countries in the world.
Some get good training some don’t due to circumstances surrounding them.

They carry weapons to protect their lives, to protect the lives of the citizens and to protect properties and infrastructures as ordered.
When to discharge live weapons depends on their training, I.e to defend their lives, the infrastructure ordered to protect and other situations deemed warranted etc, etc.

Now, in the case of the student of the Camuud university died as a result of a police shooting as we heard.
I think these questions must be asked and answere:
what was the circumstances that lead the police man to discharge life weapons, considering the alterations occurred.

Before we all ride the emotions of the moment the government must explain clearly and candidly all the circumstances which lead the death of the student.
Likewise the people particularly the political parties and the cultural leaders must not pass judgment
Let us be fair for both the deceased and the accused police officer.
