The day police assaulted people for buying bread

I woke this morning to the shock of my life. I saw people being assaulted by riot police officers at a supermarket in Harare, their crime was that they wanted to buy bread. It has become such a hassle to buy just a loaf of bread in Zimbabwe after the government ordered the slashing of prices l;ast week. During the weekend a host of war veterans joined into the pricing chaos, invading shps and insisting on buying goods at prices that they wanted. A lawyer representing the onwer of a leading Harare supermarket was utterly shocked at the behaviour of the police, "I have never seen such lawlessness and i really don't know where we are going as a country. This is just as good as looting shops with the help of the police." The lawyer was subsequently arrested for speaking his mind.
