“NPS is drawn to a video clip circulating on social media of police officers engaged in unpleasant confrontation with some youths. We have reviewed the clip, and wish to state that whereas the action of the police seem out of line with operational policy and expected practice, the incident, which is from the past, is not related to the ongoing 2022 general election as assumed.
As a protector of human rights, NPS continues to review our internal performance to reflect the expectation of the public in line to democratic policing ideals and our corporate vision and mission of professionalism, and responsiveness to our clients.” said National Police Service
In the viral video, a contingent of police could be seen standing next to their vehicle as one of the officers roughed up one man. Another man could be seen lying on the ground before receiving a thorough beating from another police officer.
