LET THE LAW DEAL WITH THIS POLICE OFFICER BUT HE MUST BE GIVEN A FAIR TRIAL.MAYBE THE POLICE CAN ALSO BRING THE OWNER OF THE LAND TO COURT OVER THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE HE MIGHT HAVE BRIBED THIS OFFICER TO SCARE THE RESIDENTS FROM HIS PLOT AND THINGS GOT OUT OF HAND BUT IF THE POLICE OFFICER WAS ASSIGNED TO GO AND DEAL WITH THE ISSUE FROM HIS STATION THAN THE OWNER SHOULD BE CLEARED ON THIS CASE.
Eish its raining heavyliy in this part of Luanshya Thomson erea. Good news abt fertilizer tho it appears to be late. The suppliers should have given the farmers 1st then claim the bucks later.
The headline is ambiguous. It could mean the Police Officer shot a resident in hospital!
