Somewhere in the world, the first Wednesday of October is National Coffee with a Cop Day a day dedicated to encouraging communication and positive interactions between law enforcement agencies and the public.
Where I come from, when someone is said “ari kunwa tea nemapurisa” drinking tea with police, it means you are assisting the police with “investigations” which basically means you have been arrested.
Police Officers aren’t the most liked people, in a world where you feel like you need protection from those supposed to protect you
If you were having coffee with me, I would share with you this viral image of a police officer being carried across a flooded street, in Kampala, Uganda; oh it was for a fee of course.
He ain’t heavy, he’s a police officer
They say a picture speaks a 1000 words… what does this say to you?

Why was he being carried? Was he hurt? Or did he not want his shoes to get wet?
The guy who is carrying the cop appears to be strong.

No he was not hurt, he did not want to get his policeman feets wet.
The guy who is carrying him is an enterprising entrepreneur who charges people to carry them across the flooded street.

I have seen people who will put wooden planks across a flooded ditch and charge people to cross, like a makeshift toll gate, if you dont want to pay they remove their planks and you get your feet wet …

This line is so true, “in a world where you need protection from those who are supposed to protect you”. It’s everywhere now. Police brutality. I don’t like them at all. Even the kindest person in uniform would be suspicious to me. 😔🙁
