Lawyer Questions Lack Of Police Injuries In Alleged Shootouts With Armed Robbers

Lawyer Tinomudaishe Chinyoka has queried why there are no reported injuries among police officers during alleged shootouts with suspected armed robbers.

Chinyoka’s comments follow a statement from Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi on Monday, which detailed the shooting of two armed robbery suspects during a confrontation with detectives in a bushy area between Mpilo Hospital and Richmond, Bulawayo, on Sunday.

While Chinyoka said that he does not wish for police officers to be harmed during such encounters, he finds the pattern troubling.

He suggested that suspects may be “executed” by police, either for refusing to share the “loot” or to eliminate the suspects after sharing the proceeds of their crime with the police. Chinyoka posted on X:

How come in these shootouts no policeman is ever injured? Not praying for that mind, but why do we still have armed robbers when they are so bad at using the arms?

Or, are we just executing people at “indications” when they refuse to share their loot? Or when they actually do share? Witnesses, after all, are inconvenient.

An X user responded to Chinyoka: “You have no idea what you are campaigning for. If a robber holds you at gunpoint once, you will realise how stupid it is to get soft on those guys.”

However, Chinyoka reiterated his position, stating that the killings were indeed suspicious. He said:

Wait until a member of your family is accused of being a robber and shot during “a shootout” and come back here to pontificate.

Another X user expressed his support for Police actions saying:

To be honest no one should care about armed robbers, they should be killed immediately on the crime scene, l was once a victim of these armed robbers, so l big up our police for these.

However, one Patrick Zuva condemned the “extrajudicial killings” of suspects by police. He said:

Unfortunately, this is what has become of our law enforcement agencies and judicial systems. Highly corrupt and a law unto themselves, empowered and cheered on by a government and ruling party lacking a moral compass (Chris Mutsvangwa’a press conference from yesterday).

Chinoda is very right. He is opening our eyes to the fact that our saviours are no saints. They need a close watch. They could actually turn out to be worse than the robbers or they are now robbing and killing the robbers.

The lives of all citizens and our police officers are always at the mercy of armed robbers who shoot to kill. I'm very concerned about the security of our officers who deal with armed robbers. However, it's important that the officers operate within the confines of the law to enforce the law. The police have created the impression that they are are shot at first and shoot back to effect arrest and protect themselves. There is also the impression that armed robbers always shoot first and miss all the time. In every encounter, the police have to pick empty cartridges of bullets fired by the robbers, but these are never forthcoming. Hence the suspicion of extra judicial killings of suspects by the police. The robber and suspect have to appear before the courts for justice to be served.

I think police deaths and injuries are kept as a secret, not for public knowledge. That is for security reasons

this lawyer knows nothing about the police force,in shot not every police officer is there to deal with those dangerous armed robbers.They have what we call snipers in the military who are highly trained for such tasks ku army kotori neinonzi commando so don't ever think that you so called robbers will match them.only unarmed civilians can be overpowered by matsotsi enyu iyayo
Supercop · 7 months ago
Porongi urikuporonga shuwa. You say that the lawyer knows nothing about the police. True, and he knows the law. It's about the law, not about the police. Then you go on about the army snipers which have nothing to do with the law, the robbers and the police.

what e lawyer is saying is simply just common sense. Even at war where Gun fire is exchanged, you figure out that there are those who get overpowered and are held captive no wonder how they are injured. They said on every occasion ey exchange gunfire with robbers , but surprisingly not a single occasion have we heard of one who have gotten being injured and was held captive fr testification's sake.

I once asked the same question on this platform sometime ago,I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw this pattern, according to the law munhu wese is innocent until proven guilty by the judiciary,imagine someone giving the police false information that you're an armed robber then the police comes and shoot you without verifying the credibility of the informer..
🧐 · 7 months ago
Let the police shoot to kill these armed robbers cause they too are armed and dangerously, and out of despair can kill any thing a long its way,, If these robbers know that any confrontation with police they should refrain from such activities but here we are now they seem enjoying this cat and mouse game and with the media awash with such killings they should simply refrain from playing dangerously with police and law

Hapana zvekunzisisa apa that sympathy is dangerous ku mhondi, the same applies to the would be protesters on nations event with respectable delegation, it's treasonous that one, and if you check the aftermath, our image having been soiled, where can you get investors, so that too should be treated like these robberies cases, economic suborteurs, and that pennal settlement is absolute

these lawyers are a nuisance, they have nothing to do but question and criticize everything, we don't want armed robbers roaming around unchecked, lawyers trying to sound important, that's why the opposition is dead because they are all lawyers who want to try and sound more clever than the next
