What is a police state?

Per the Oxford Learner's Dictionary, a police state is a "country where people’s freedom, especially to travel and to express political opinions, is controlled by the government, with the help of the police."

Now, given what is currently going on since Magufuli's ascension to ascendancy, aren't we now a police state? If we aren't a police state, then what are we?

Everyday we wake up to [news] stories of members of opposition parties getting arrested, harassed, denied their right to peaceably assemble and all that jazz.

We wake up to stories of Joe Publics getting arrested and taken to court just because they posted some unflattering things about his Excellency on social media.

We wake up to stories of some news media outlets getting suspended and/ or fined under questionable pretexts.

We wake up to sights and sounds of members of the police force doing what they term as 'routine exercises' in full view of the public...hmm....really?

The right of free speech, freedom of expression, and to peaceably assemble are some of the most important civil liberties.

I know they are not absolute rights. They do have some restrictions. But come on now, Magufuli doesn't even want people to do politics. We should not let him infringe those rights on us. No way, no how.

He just wants people to work. What if politics is what some people do for a living? What the hell should they do? Construction or something?

Our rights are being trampled on and we all must say no. Say no to a police state.

We are Tanzania, not Kim Jong Un's North Korea.

Tafuta Watanzania kumi randomly. Waulize je tangia Rais Magufuli aingie madarakani je Uhuru wenu binafsi umeingiliwa? Kama Ndiyo au Hapana je unaathiri hali yako ya kipato? U will be surprised.


Huku 'mtaani' watu wana kero zao nyingi, lakini hizi habari za Udikteta sijui neene, mnadiscus nyie tu elites. Kwa kifupi sio ishu. Watu wanataka kero zitatuliwe na maisha yao yapate unafuu.

 

[GeeM]

No to a police state.

Taifa la wapiga dili linapopitia kwenye tanuri ya moto wa JPM! Ee Bwana niondolee kikombe hiki cha mateso ila mapenzi yako lazima yatimizwe!

Asante mkuu kwa jibu lako maridhawa! Usiseme "elites" sema walalamishi wa jamii forum,

Wachochezi wakubwa ni CCM wenyewe kama ilivyo kwenye ufisadi. Mafisadi wakubwa ni hao hao CCM.

Hawana jipya hao.

Siku hizi unajitambua sana ngabu

Mkuu kwani uko bongo au USA baby!?...hivi karibuni wameibuka wanaharakati wengi sana toka majuu,kuna tetesi kwamba wengi wana hofu ya kuwa deported endapo trump atashinda na kureview policies za immigrants, so wanatafuta political recognition hasa kwa kuwa against their home government ili iwe rahisi kwao kufile for asylum pindi watakapotaka kurudishwa kwa kigezo cha kuhofia kufungwa warejeapo nyumbani,so mkuu kama upo kwenye hii category ni good move sababu yote haya mwisho wa siku ili mradi mdomo uende kinywani.

Ni kweli naunga mkono hoja yuko jamaa mmoja wa Cuba aliandamana akapigwa risasi then akiwa hospitali alisema kwamba hizi risasi zikitolewa mwilini anarudi barabarani mpaka kieleweke sasa huku Bongo

Mimi siogopi kusema niliyonayo moyoni.

Hivyo popote pale nitasema tu.

Sasa hivi Polisi (hata kama wako na magari yao binafsi) hawafuati sheria wala kanuni za barabarani, foleni nk. Magari yao rasmi (PT, STKs) ndio usipime ni aibu kwa kweli saa nyingine.

Wao wamegeuka wavunja/wasigina sheria na kanuni waziwazi. Sheria ziko chini wao wako juu ya sheria kwa sasa.
Hawa wanaozunguka na toyo na magari ya doria wana harass watu ovyo ovyo tu. Kwa mfano kama wiki 2 hivi zilizopita nilikuwa maeneo fulani nimepaki ghafla pikipiki 5 zinamfukuza dada/mama mmoja yuko na Spacio blue, akasimama wakaanza kumkagua yaani kana kwamba ni gaidi au jambazi sijui. Baada ya kama dk 10 hivi nikasogea kuuliza kulikoni? (Wakajibu kwa lugha za kuudhi) wakadai wako doria/kazini....mwishowe wakakosa walichokidhania wakamwacha aende. But I cannot help but ask why doing it that way? Is that the best from their locker? Mwishowe nikajisemea hivi kwa aina ile ya doria kweli raia wema si baadaye wataogopa au watakataa kutoa ushirikiano?

Polisi wetu wana wajibu mzito na muhimu sana Kisheria na Kimaudhui. Tunatamani sana tuone professionalism and good service to the public not what we currently see and hear. Tunawahitaji kama na wao wanavyotuhitaji sisi raia wa kawaida.

Nyani unapotosha, Tanzania is now getting on track. Watu wanaelekezwa kufanya kazi kama ilivyo huko Ulaya. Hapa Nyumbani watu hawataki kufanya kazi bali umbeya na uswahili. JPM anataka watu waache longo longo wabuni na kufanya kazi. No way wtanzania shharti wafanye kazi. hayo mambo ya akina Mbowe &Co. ni kwa sababu hawana mpango mahususi wa Siasa za upinzani wanabaki kuvizia contradictions za muda mfupi na kuzifanya Siasa zao, Repercussion ndio hiyo ya akina Tundu Lissu in-an'-out of police station - court - home and another round again, basi.

Watu hawawezi kufanya kazi kama mabubu, kama kuna mabaya watasema, na mazuri watasifia. Kulazimisha watu kusifia tu unaongeza maadui.

Uhuru wa kuongea siyo kwa elites tu,hata kwa watu wa kawaida pi.Leo elites wasipowasemea hao wa kawaida nani atawasemea??

Vi-wonder vinavyojengwa ndiyo hivi vya akina Lissu na Lema??Hao watu wa kawaida ndiyo wafukuzwao makazini kwa kisa cha vyeti fake lakini watawala wanadunda na vyeti fake,hao masikini ndiyo wanaobomolewa nyumba kwa kisingizio cha kuishi karibu na Barabara, walipokuwa wanajenga hawakuonekana?

Hao wanalalamika lakini hawajui wapi waende wanaambiwa wapiga dili,sijui muuza Samaki wa Kigamboni alipiga dili wapi!

The US is indeed police state not Tanzania.

Si lazima kwamba ili Tanzania isiwe police state, ni lazima US iwe police state. Siyo kweli kabisa. Don't hide in a corner..

We are transitioning to a "secret state"

 

[Semilong]

Nyani Ngabu, it is not a police state, it is a Vi-wonder state.

Your remarks are causing a delay in industrialization of our country.

Sir, We are going to detain you so that we can proceed with viwondernisation.
