WAZO: HIZO SEHEMU NILIZOWEKA RANGI YA BLUE NA YALIYOTOKEA ARUSHA YANAFANANA NISAIDIENI WANA JF

 

[Zak Malang]

Polisi wetu wanasukumwa na kitu kimoja tu -- kuona amri zake zinatiiwa, basi. Ile concept wanayoshikilia siku zote ya "kutotii amri halali ya polisi" "au kutofuata utaratibu na kanuni" ndiyo kisingizio kikubwa cha polisi kuua watu! Hawa polisi wetu hawana akili ya kitu kiitwacho 'common sense' yaani kutoa maamuzi ya busara kutokana na hali inavyojitokeza. Huwa wanajiendea utafikiri misanamu iliyotiwa funguo.

Wakati wa kampeni huko Mwanza, baada ya mkutano wa Dr Slaa, wananchi waliamua kulisukuma gari lake mitaani kuelekea hotelini alikofikia. Watu walikuwa wengi sana na polisi wakataka kuingilia kuzuia kwa kupiga mabomu ya machozi n.k. Dr Slaa akasimamisha msafara na kuwaambia polisi watumie busara -- wawaache wananchi ama sivyo kunaweza kutokea vurugu na watu kuumia bila sababu za msingi.

Polisi walimsikiliza, hawakuingilia msafara kwa mabomu na badala yake waliuwekea na kuushindikiza kwa ulinzi mkali hadi ulipoishia. Kila kiti kiawa salama na shwari.

Sasa hawa polisi huko Arusha wanataka kutuambia nini? Walishindwa ku-read mood ya hali jinsi iliyojitokeza na kua-act accordingly kuepusha janga? Walikwenda kama sanamu eti tu kwa sababu ya "kutotii amri halali?"

 

[Vancomycin]

Asante kwa elimu hiyo,inasikitisha hakuna lililozingatiwa kati ya hayo na kinachonishangaza sijaona kipengele cha kuua raia walichokitekeleza.Pengine kwa kuzingatia thread hii inayohusu polisi ingeenda mbali zaidi na kutuwekea sheria inayohusu maandamano

 

[nsimba]

MmmmmH, katika malengo hayo sijaona sehemu ya kwamba: Polisi watakuwa ndio waruhusu mikusanyiko na watao vibali vya maandamano ya vyama au vikundi vyovyote vya kiraia katika kutekeleza misingi ya demokrasia ya watu kutoa maoni yao kwa uhuru!!!!! Sasa wanatoa wapi nguvu hii kila siku mpaka upate kibali cha polisi???? Naona malengo hapo ni kulinda usalama wetu na mali zetu....

[nsimba]

Thanks so much! It is educative. Inaonesha kuwa polisi walivunja sheria kwa kiwango kikubwa. Kwa kuwa hata kama mtu hakutii agizo au amri halali hakuna mahala kwa mujibu wa sheria walipohalalishwa kuuwa au kutumia silaha kwa ajili ya kuuwa. Wanatakiwa kutumia minimal force; hata kama ni silaha-wapige miguuni tu! Waandamanaji hawakuwa na silaha-wala hawakushambulia, bali walishambuliwa. Hivyo polisi wana kesi ya kujibu ya mauaji. Wafunguliwe nao mashitaka!!!!!!!

 

[nsimba]

Kinacho nisumbua je, waweza wafungulia polisi mashitaka sasa? Au baadae baada ya kesi yao ya kubambikiza kuisha?

 

[WAMURUBHERE]

na hii ya matumizi ya silaha za moto ya kimataifa ikoje?

 

[WAMURUBHERE]

he kumbe kabla ya kurusha risasi maafande walitakiwa kufanya hivi,

Non-lethal Forms of Force


There are a wide variety of non-lethal forms of force. These include the following:

• Impact weapons
• Chemical weapons
• High pressure water
• Electronic weapons
• Less lethal projectiles (rubber bullets, bean bags, etc.)
• Vehicle spike system

Most of these are recognized police tools, but each has limitations as well as advantages. High pressure water, especially if used with dye, can be effective in a civil disturbance; however, if used incorrectly it can lead to serious injury.

 

[Ubumuntu]

Asante mtoa uzi kwa elimu nzuri ya uraia. Polisi walioua raia wasio na hatia,wanapaswa kufikishwa kwa pilato,kwani walivunja sheria kwa kiwango kikubwa sana.

 

[Mwiba]

Kumbukeni tu kuwa tupo Afrika tupo Tanzania ,hayo yote muliyoyaandika natumai yapo tu kama kielelezo kwenye intenational level,lakinini hakuna moja linalofuatwa ,polisi wetu hufuta ushahidi na kufuta ushahidi ni kuhakikisha uliemfyatulia risasi na kumpiga humfikishi hospitali au kituoni akiwa hai.

 

[Gamba la Nyoka]

Where a person submits a notification in accordance with subsection (1), he may
proceed to convene, collect, form or organise the assembly or procession in question as
scheduled unless and until he receives an order from the Police Officer in charge of the area
directing that the assembly or procession shall not be held as notified.

Kumbe Polisi wana mamlaka ya kuzuia maandamano!!!, mimi nilidhani kwamba ukishawapa taarifa ya maandamano tu, wao kazi yao ni kutoa ulinzi tu basi na wala si mambo ya vibali.

 

[Genekai]

Mkuu hizo habari ni nzuri but kwa serikali yetu hii ni kama kumpigia mbuzi gitaa!

 

[Gurudumu]

Mkuu hizo habari ni nzuri but kwa serikali yetu hii ni kama kumpigia mbuzi gitaa!

Mkuu, bado tuna nafasi ya kuzitekeleza kutumia tukio la arusha ambalo litaset presidence. Tuahitaji kubadili fikra zetu kwamba hii ni afrika na kwamba haki na ystaarabu haviwezekani. Pamoja na madhara yaliyotokea, Chadema wasingelazimisha maandamano ungejua kwamba serikali iliyo afrika ingeweza kusalimu amri na raisi wa nchi kukiri kosa?

 

[Speaker]

those are written in the papers,and most of the police men if not all are people that failed at school so they joined police force to make their life,how do you expect them to read and understand all of those stuffs?
