Shame on you DPC Joram Mwesigye At the position of Division Police Commander (DPC) of an elite city police station (Old Kampala), ‘Sir’ Joram Mwesigye, it is only natural that so many of your juniors are (were) aspired and wanted to be like you. Shame on you ‘Sir’ for even attempting to run over journalists with a vehicle. May be you have not yet noticed ‘Sir’, but in this 21st century, suspects - whatever the crime are arrested, arraigned before courts that then dispense punishment or acquit the innocents. What you just attempted is called mob justice or taking the law in own hands - which is criminal ’Sir’! Maybe ‘Sir’ this was such a big operation for you ‘Sir’. Perhaps you did not want the demonstrating youths to make it to your boss’ office, Kale Kayihura and deliver their petition. Sir’, similarly, on the same day, other youths of the unemployed were taking a ‘retirement package’ of seven chicks to an even a bigger boss - bigger than your boss, the President of republic of Uganda. Guess what your fellow police field commanders did ‘Sir’?! They arrested them in full glare of the cameras. None beaten, none run over with a car, none clobbered and the ‘scene’ ended almost as soon as it had started. ‘Sir’, in every profession on this planet, bosses like you, ‘Sir’ draw up ‘operations’ strategies and leave the juniors to run the show. When they fail, you have someone to blame, when they succeed - you get the applauds. Why you got involved in running after peaceful demonstrators hence embarrassingly falling in the process may lead to the next NOT TO DO check list for all field commanders. It is even more shameful that you say ‘journalists were not particularly targeted but only got caught up in the ‘crossfire’. ‘Sir’ in that after-event statement, it seems you would exactly do the same next time so long as its not journalists. Sir, the reason why police, we guess has ambulances is to offer first aid to the injured (suspects or not) and/or take them for treatment. Why then drive a patient to a police station instead of to a hospital?
