The dog's owner chases away the cat while the cat owner picks the stone to pelt at the dog. This enmity exists between the two owners just as it is with the pets.
In lieu of these domestic animals is a police officer and the ordinary citizen.
The relationship between men and women in uniform is so cranky that even if the ordinary citizens make a mistake, the police officer is to be blamed and when an ordinary citizen deviates from the norm, there is no room for forgiveness.
The enmity is cyclic, retribution with no contrite, and what does this one speak of a nation in a magnifying lens.
The recent trending clip where a driver was capturing a police woman allegedly demanding fifty Kenya shillings (kshs. 50) is not like interpreting a blank page in which one hastily flips to the next page to start reading the book's content. It is not a matter of not only wrong and right, or rather debating on the basis of the lady demanding petty instead it is about the unreflected moral decadence within the ordinary citizens.
The driver (man) who captured the lady while towards the end of the clip he gives the money insinuate a lot.
To begin with, what was his intention of capturing the lady who demands the 'bribe' while sparing himself giving out the 'bribe' or should it be said that the money in his hand was clean money until he gave the lady ( the police officer)? Which simply means that the woman is the evil one and behaved unethically, is it so?
On the other hand, this article apart from questioning the intent, is agitated by the driver who tries to play angel in pretense of mirroring the bad side of the cop than himself too. Why was the police officer demanding the fifty shillings , and why within the clip is he trying to tell the cop of other traffic users defying the traffic rules? Deductively, the driver was on the bad side of the traffic, and therefore he was trying to evade hence the police officer caught up with him, he was adamant to cooperate to an extent that even after police officer cornering him, he hesitate playing by the rules of the game to be set free instead he picks up his phone and rush to the camera app. Assuming that he was crystal pure, and maybe the video recorder was accidentally on then why was his face not appearing in any part of the clip.
Breaking the law has consequences and perhaps let us assume that in the context of the video, the lady in uniform saw no reason to hold the driver accountable so that he continue with his errands and for the reason of not being familiarized and adapted to the bad side, he was clumsily charged that petty kshs. 50. Maybe this idea is promoting a vice unintended to, let it not be scripted that the article is a devil's advocate.
The point that the driver agreed without facing the law or daring the police officer to take him to the court of law or to the police officer, tells of a scenario where citizens become petty offenders, and act like nothing has happened. In return, they vilify the police docket.
What if the law was to be followed to the latter, will the men and women in uniform demand bribe?
(TWO-SIDED COIN)
