        Was he in the farm when he was shot. He was likely advancing a resistance cause. He was a soldier of a cause. That's how soldiers go down.

        Sounds like the person shot is named Kisumu. Anyway, police brutality must be condemned.

        Why did the police have to kill innocent civilians yet the Govt could do without votes from Kisumu? reason to justify extrajudicial killings
