When a crime is committed, there is a due process that ought to be followed which are laid down by the laws governing any land.
A report is made to the police, investigation is carried out, arrest is made, the accused or defendant is arraigned before a court with jurisdiction to try the case, the accused or defendant applies for his/her bail, where it is a bailable offence, he/she is bailed pending the determination of the charge against him.
Where it is not bailable, he/she is put in the correctional facility till the case is determined.
At the end of the proceedings, judgment is given by the sitting judge and the befitting sentence is ordered.
What we saw in George Floyd’s case was jungle justice, it was uniformed men taking the laws into their hand, they became the judge in their created court and abridged the process in a barbaric way.
If they followed due process, George Floyd will be amongst the living today, justice would be seen to have been done. Protest would not have arisen.
Though Justice may seem to take a slow lane, but at the end its better than any other short cut.
Let’s desist from jungle justice.
