War Against Indiscipline: Is there a Solution?
Speaking as one who was very nearly caught up in the craziness that broke out in leafy, suburban Ealing, West London a few Monday’s ago, my first reaction to the situation was one of anger. I wished I had some sort of super power to fly into the midst of the rioters and super slap them back under whatever rock they crawled out from.
As I returned to the safety of my home, I couldn’t help but hum the lyrics of Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey’s 70’s classic – I forget the name but it went like this, “War against indiscipline, let us be orderly, orderliness is everything, let us be orderly” over and over in my head. The lyrics of the song seemed appropriate to the current UK riot crisis. In the UK and elsewhere, it seems unruliness and a lack of shame are the order of the day and discipline has become an out of vogue virtue.
The happenings of the past week caused me to juxtapose the stance of the British Police with our Nigerian Police Force. It is quite likely that the destruction carried out by the looters may not have reached such a scale in Nigeria. Some Sergeants would have dispersed the rioters by shooting into the open air and would have probably proceeded into the vandalised shops to help themselves. I jest, but even destruction happy teenagers would have a fear for their lives when confronted by an armed officer. Whereas in Britain they take a soft touch approach, so soft touch, that ordinary passive civilians are now calling for a return to corporal punishment after the things they witnessed! Some even called for the army to step in but once you get the army in anything, it becomes difficult to get them out (please see Afghanistan, Iraq and even Nigeria’s recent history!).
Police Officers in the UK are armed with only a baton and face various degrees of consequences for using it against alleged felons (they better get themselves ready for a lawsuit). Criminals who behave worse than animals, destroying the lives of others and showing no regard for the law, have rights too you know!
