I was thinking people would jump in and help escalate the situation considering the area of the incident, but everyone just stood back to enjoy the show instead.

This man is going viral for beating up two police officers yesterday. He has earned praises from Nigerians & other countries. Details in thread.

I'm surprised the police don't have guns, which makes me think that.. these are probably not Nigerian police. In most cases in Nigeria, we've seen people stand up to the authorities in situations like these... you will hardly see Nigerians seat back when something like this is happening, because we all know what we've gone through in the hands of the black uniform people.

That being said, if this is a country that takes the rule of law seriously, these police men will be sued and taken to court and if found guilty, they will be penalised. They won't only loose their job, they can go to prison for harassment. However, if the investigation proves otherwise. That man will be looking at some good time in prison.

Although, that will only happen is more developed countries, in a country like Nigeria... the man would probably be arrested and thrown into prison without proper investigation. Except he can afford a Good lawyer. Or in extreme cases, He probably would have been shõt and this entire tweet will be another different story. Nigeriassystem is trying to improve though, but, we are not there yet.

That's why I didn't judge those praising the man. The people needed something like these for change. It has as always be the other way round.

What's your take in the situation and what country is this..? looks like cotonou

Did he beat the police? No. Did he defend himself? YES.

Best part of the video

He was on the ground already so na dem beat am man was just defending himself..God punish those officers

If police was our “friend” people would have helped them, but we all have suffered in the hands of these criminals.
