After shooting his hand, they could easily arrest him so why continue shooting?

He was in pain running around so the shooting should have stopped and those sticks used to apprehend him.

I wish the American Police could learn from this. This is one of the rare instances I credit the Ghana Police; they can be excellent in what they do.

I always asked why the Police in the US wouldn't or couldn't shoot to disarm or temporarily disable a person instead of directly shooting to kill most of the time. And it makes sense most of the times to do just that when the intention isn't to kill or there's no need for it.

Did I read the story well? That the purpose was for "the palace messenger to retrieve a ceremonial hoe for a sod-cutting ceremony, and the traditional ruler prevented him from entering"?
And this could lead to police shootings and bloodshed? Oh Ghana, how did we end here? Is there no other entry to the palace to retrieve the ceremonial hoe? Can't another ceremonial hoe be procured for the purpose of the sod-cutting?
Is there a chieftaincy conflict that the traditional ruler was waging, protecting his side, hence cooking this story as the basis for shooting a human being in this broad day light?
Do we understand the implications for shedding blood in whatever circumstance we may find ourselves, more so this most avoidable inhumane act of the law enforcers?

One reason Ghana is this crazy hellhole is because reasoning fails the majority, so those arguing for pepper spray or sten guns don't realize how close one should be to the guy brandishing the cutlass to use them.

In the US, he would have been dead. The Police shoot to kill, they don't give options.

Are you serious? You mean harm wasn't eminent when someone is branding a machete/cutlass?

Look, even pulling a knife in public poses eminent harm, because a knife has lost nothing in the public. Any person who does that has intention to cause harm.

FYI: pepper spray to be effective, the user must be just about 50 cm from the target.

The shortest answer to all discussions: the traditional chief should have put down the cutlass after the police pleaded with him several times to surrender.

Even the police did very well hitting his hand.

When someone is threatening you with a lethal weapon, this is not the time for pepper spray. If this man suddenly lunged at you, you could be fatally injured in a split second.

Your next place of abode will be the next cemetery. Fact is :THERE'S NO WAY YOU SHOULD PULL ANY WEAPON IN THE PUBLIC/ ON THE POLICE.

Certainly they won't shoot you just like that: Like what the GH police did, they'll instruct you several times but if you refuse, the chances that you'll be shot is high.

They won't wait till you kill anybody before the eliminate you: they'll eliminate you before you hurt any person.

In my view, I believe that the police acted unprofessional and the shooting wasn't necessary.

If this is how the police is going to act without tolerance, then we are all at risk. The police officers present should be sanctioned for unprofessional conducts and lack of tolerance.

Someone brandishing a cutlass and you want to apply pepper spray? Even in US with the most advanced and intelligent police system would have shot him several times to death. He could have equally killed the policeman had the gun failed to work. The policeman only tried to neutralise him from using his arms as no one could have predicted his next move. He did not aim at killing him. Elsewhere he would be a dead man.

It was silly of him to have disobeyed the police.

What exactly is the editorial policy of the Ghanaian media? Was it really necessary to broadcast such graphic footage? At the very least, parts of the video should have been blurred to protect viewers from the disturbing scenes.
What is wrong with us as a people? Have we become so desensitized to violence that basic editorial judgment and human decency no longer matter? The media has a responsibility to inform the public, not to sensationalize tragedy.
Even the face of the police officer involved in the shooting should have been blurred until the appropriate investigations and legal processes are completed. The complete lack of restraint and professionalism in airing such footage is deeply troubling and raises serious questions about the standards being applied in our media industry.

The police men are not properly train at all. Ah! Someone holding a gun and not rushing on must be disarmed and not shot at. The police man who shot the gun is very foolish and must be arrested.

This didn't look like a professional tactical operation. It resembled more, an entertainment spectacle. For such a high risk task, the entire scene should have been cleared of spectators and locked down, not least because, the weapon employed isn't meant for close target engagement. A richocette could have resulted in multiple collateral damage. A sidearm, or even a tasser could have de-escalated the situation without risk to the crowd. It was a great testimony to the markmanship of the the policeman involved, that this obviously mentally deranged person was brought under control.

This is murder. Was it necessary to kill him? The officer must face the law.

This clearly shows that the police don't have what it takes them to be professionals. One man holding cutlass, not running after anyone and you guys short him several times to end his life. The best thing you guys needs to do is shot the cutlass off his head or one of his legs period. If it were some place all of you the police would be persecuted at law curt for none professionalism this is a disgrace to Ghana police service

This is complete assasination God shoud forgive those police who shot him. In Ghana people hold matchet everywhere moreover the man never threaren to bucher anyone so why was he shot.

Ghana Police needs training. Shooting him was uncalled for. They have disarmed him easily with the crowd there.
