A recent post showing seven Nigerian policemen flaunting high-end iPhone Pro Max devices has stirred widespread debate, with some comments crossing into sweeping judgments. One user remarked, “They are all criminals,” implying that every officer involved is engaged in unlawful activity.
While public skepticism toward law enforcement is understandable in some cases, blanket accusations harm the integrity of discussions by oversimplifying complex issues. Such generalizations overlook that many officers work with integrity and may have legitimate sources of income. Social media should aim to facilitate balanced and thoughtful discourse, recognizing both the need for accountability and the importance of avoiding damaging assumptions.
