411rebel "It looks like those in the army have sense than the police officers on the streets oo,I’ll say one army officer is equal to 20 policemen in Nigeria with their brains combined. They really know how to engage with the public even tho some of them are like animals too."

Victor "If it was the army shooting now everyone would be sharing and calling them names but now give them their well deserved places no one wants to."

Franklin__e "It's quite obvious that the difference between the Army and the Police is their level of education. yes, education! No matter how hard you try and the level of street exposure you posses, there are certain things you get by attending a school that you cant get on the streets."

m_flippi "What do you expect from the officer's from different levels of education, this one is educated and as well get sense."
