1. Shoot anything moving in the vicinity.

2. Continue shooting till all movement ceases.

3. Ask questions

4. Investigate the matter

This is insane and absolute ignorance. If white police officers had done this here in Ghana or any other country, this comments board will be overflowing with monkey logic.!

You know I have always said that we are subhuman, not very far fetched from our closest relatives CHIMPS. We seem to be closer related to primates than our fellow humans.

Did these clowns in uniform yell "Police Stop or we will shoot" ?

Arrest and prosecute those things called police officers!

No I'm sorry if you think you are subhuman, but don't label or insult us all like that. This is simply due to lack of police training. Lay the blame squarely at the feet of the so called authorities, whoever they are. This is a sad, sad situation to have happened to the families of these two brothers. Ghana police should be held accountable, and should fully train personnel who bear arms on patrol.

We run the risk of doing exactly what the police did by jumping into conclusion with the limited facts we have.I must say police every where have limited intelligence . Their training is supposed to empower and enhance the quality of their work but unfortunately some of them turn it into a straight jacket and can't think outside the box.
When the police see one running and they are looking for a suspect, their training would tell them that person can be a suspect.Well, one day I started running to catch a bus, I crossed the road and was actually running towards the police. One of started to run towards me but was immediately called back by his inspector, who pointed out to him I was running towards them to catch a bus which happens to have stopped next to them . Such a police could have shot me if he had a gun.
Incidents like this makes it imperative that an IQ or emotional intelligence test is carried out before a person is recruited . People who take bribes and recruit unsuitable persons must be seen as those ultimately responsible for these .Too early to conclude but they need very good explanations to get out of this one.At best man slaughter charges should be brought.
If their excuse or story isn't good then it must be murder

Some Ghanaian police are very unprofessional; some of these incidents keep happening and nothing seems to be done about it.
Till when would our police keep gunning down and killing innocent citizens???

What is happening if the police want to shot they should aim at their legs or any part but not to kill them as animals .Though your duty calls for such you will answer this to the living God.

In fact the police should have taken some caution before opening fire on the victims, they were to quick to pull the trigger. it is unfortunate to hear such stories.

I think pur police force is becoming trigger happy. Why are they always quick to shoot and kill? Police killings of innocent unarmed civilians is becoming one too many. I blame their lack of professionalism on the inability of the service to organize refresher trainings for personnel after they pass out from training schools. We are not safe if people whose duty it is to protect civilians are themselves killing us with the least provocation. God help us

Hey you listen to me. The story claims they were apparently going to confront the robbers, but the truth is that they were rather on their way to call the police when the police also on their way to the robbery scene met Francis and his brother and mistook them for the fleeing robbers and shot them on sight. These are the facts; take it or leave it.

The police needs to be trained when and how to use deadly force. They don't have to shoot and kill when their life is not in danger. The victims posed no danger to the police they were retreating and should not have been shot

This police boss will cause a lot of destruction before he is booted out of the region.

But one thing is clear 'the day of reckoning will surely come'. And everybody will give an account of his stewardship

I think we should also consider why the tutor and his brother did not call the police and wait. What were they going to use to arrest the gun men? Bare hands? Moreover we all know most of these armed robbers use motor bikes in their operations. You and i were not there so let's be quite careful when chastising the police.

Ghana should Train thePolice Force well.This kind of 19 Century Villager Policing in the Country should Stop. When the Police Spotted the Motorbike,did they See the Victims with a Gun.I think the Police should have flashed or Ordered them to Stop to dropped their Gun/s,if any,with handsup,or to Sit down with hands up before they get Closer to handcuffed them to Conduct a Search and questioning,if the Police has reasons to believe they are not Secured.The Police may open fire if the Victims refused to comply with their orders,or only to returned fire.It's ridiculous, annoying,unbelievable and below Sane reasoning for the Police to just open fire unnecessarily without the Sight or Sound of a Gun nearby.It's time Police Officers in the Country,that Kills innocent people without Conclusive prove and reasoning,are Charged to face the Courts. I am not an Officer. I know this for the privilege of just being in America.My Sincerest Condolences to the bereaved family, friends and Students.Again,where on earth would a Watchman in distress called a member of Staff for help instead of 911or the Police,first.That also means the Country should up grade from a Watchman to Security Guard,trained to know what to do in case of an emergency.Anyway
