A precious life was senselessly lost in Dar es Salaam recently; that of a man who was caught up in a nasty confrontation connected to an operation to clear petty traders from areas deemed to be inappropriate.
We submit that more emphasis should be placed on disabusing trainees of the notion of physical might: that combat tactics should apply only where resistance is apparent or in justifiable self-defence.
Judo and karate training is emphatic on this aspect. A leaf should be borrowed from there, lest young "militants" trained to do an otherwise good job turn out to be wild adventurers out to demonstrate their skills recklessly upon peaceful civilians.
