Innocent before trial should be the bases for condemnation. Instant punishment is condemnation mere or mortal cannot exercise on another, for the sake of false accusations. Guilty before trials. Even, if guilty, does the crime deserve the punishment? You condemn John 5:18-22. Read that church goers. Nono, there is still barbaric in the midst.

"The Ashanti regional Police Commander DCOP Kofi Boakye has promised to arrest the police officers who allegedly beat to death a 22-year-old man in Krofrom in the Ashanti region if it is established that they indeed committed the act."

Is this statement coming from K Boakye or it has just be written by whoever wrote this in this web site? If it came from K Boakye himself, then I must say K Boakye sometimes talks as if he is an illiterate senior police officer. He has veered off so many a time which calls into question his level of professionalism and experience.
A top and a such an experienced police officer shouldn't make utterances like that. It is very unprofessional. Just say we will thoroughly investigate the incident and take appropriate action.

The colonial police force was formed to protect colonial interests and capital(businesses) against the exploitative masses in the Gold Coast. They're housed like soldiers in the barracks to condition them to love massa and take his command only against their own blood.
And since independence, NOTHING CHANGED to ever transform this evil force of brute the evil British established to be an anti African aspiration. The beasts are still cramped in dirty and run-down barracks, and the more they live like animals the more brute force they exhibit on the masses.
The mango does not fall far from the tree. The white man's brute force he put in his police force to chase down escaped slaves in the Americas is no different from what he instituted in his colonies. What they perceived as enemy is in black skin.
We need to have the courage to dissolve this colonial legacy in the police force and re institute a true Ghana police service with police personnel living with the people and do community police service just like the Ahefie Police.

Has he been able to stop his own men from collecting monies from drivers on the streets? Is he saying that, he is not aware?
If once, they capture an armed robber, then people will be showering unwanted praises when his men go on duty with guns and take monies from drivers. ARE THEY ALSO NOT ARMED ROBBERS?
I personally not enthuse about him.
DO we need post-mortem to know what killed this young man when every body was there shouting stop stop stop...he is innocent!
VERY BAD.

Ghanaian lives matter just as black lives everywhere and anywhere matter, and the creeping menace of police brutality, intimidation and violence resulting in the death of any Ghanaian will not be tolerated in this country.
The "Gestapoing" of the police service in a constitutional democracy underpinned by laws and rights, cannot have any operability as a policy position in this country.

Elsewhere in the world even criminals are innocent before a court of law until proven guilty. In Ghana the police take justice in their own hands and that itself is criminal.

kofi Boakye should stop that military showmanship because he is not a soldier. He has encouraged all those unprofessional behaviors. He must be posted out.

IS KOFI BOAKYE GOING TO TRY THE POLICEMEN TO PROVE THEM GUILTY BEFORE TAKING THEM TO COURT? ARREST THEM NOW ON WITNESSES' IDENTIFICATION WHILE YOU INVESTIGATE THE CHARGES. ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU NORMALLY DO?
WHY CHANGE THE LAW?

What we read here is nothing so strange. Ghana is in democracy so we are all free doing what we think is correct but we forget that DEMOCRACY is nothing more than demonstration of craziness.

I think the Police chief should ready section 98 of The Criminal Act 1960 very well and seek proper interpretation then come back with a better statement on this issue. What does he mean by a postmortem in this issue? He should also read on causation and intervening events in criminal law. Is he not a crime fighting Capo? He should know better.

assuming the dead boy was guilty of the crime, was the police right in killing him? also the boy cannot be said to be innocent simply because they kmow him to be good .
