"This is a great opportunity to put in place a novel model for policing which can be the template for that modern professional and people oriented police we all want. Proper training and the use of tech is key for the challenges of the new age. Major rethink required," wrote Peter Lawson.
Olamide Oladapo wrote: "Perfect and reasonable dialogue. Always good to engaging the government in a meaningful discussion to avert constitutional crisis at all times. None one should be above the law including the President courtesy of ongoing #USimpeachment trial. We must learn to listening all d time."
