This story is from Kenya. Police officers charged with murder of Kenyan blogger - MyJoyOnline
Albert Ojwang was a social media guy. The Deputy Chief of Police for all of Kenya, Eliud Lagat, filed a complaint alleging defamation.
Albert Ojwang was arrested and died in police custody.
Police initially said that Mr Ojwang died of self-inflicted wounds, but were forced to retract the statement after an autopsy found that he was likely to have died from assault wounds.
That was one year ago. In protests over police brutality another person was shot.
Boniface Kariuki was reportedly selling masks when a uniformed police officer fired a bullet at close range, critically injuring him.
There is video of the shooting.
During last Tuesday's protests, Mr Kariuki was holding a packet of face masks when he was caught up in a confrontation with two officers in Nairobi as hundreds of protesters clashed with police.
One officer, who had concealed his face with a mask, was filmed shooting him in the head as he walked away.
When the cops don't care about the law, or human life, you don't have much of a society.
