Kenyan police have condemned the actions of a group of newly graduated officers who recorded a video threatening civilians once they were deployed.
The young graduates can be heard in the widely shared video boasting that they are the “bad guys in red berets” and “civilians…we are getting out, we are not coming to play”.
The National Police Service termed their remarks “irresponsible, unacceptable and reckless”, in a statement released on Wednesday evening.
The recruits are members of the General Service Unit (GSU), a paramilitary unit of the Kenya police who wear red berets.
The police service said the behaviour portrayed in the clip was “unacceptable and does not reflect the values of the GSU, Kenya Police Service and the National Police Service”.
The statement has been posted on Twitter:
