Kenya police with army jungle wear and huge G3 in banks

Police here in Tokyo are always seen with pistols that are kept in holsters, safely tucked in their belts.

For the 14 days I have been in Tokyo, I am yet to meet police walking the streets carrying some AK-47s or other sophisticated guns. Even at night, you will not find police walking the streets stopping people as they carry huge guns. It does not matter  what time of the night it is. It is still rare to find police on the streets. Back home in Kenya though, you know what the story is. Police in the streets look like they are on a gun show off, never mind them asking where you are going.

Kenya police service - should modernize - and unless someone is deployed in west pokot or mandera - please wear less threatening uniform and carry pistols - it make Nairobi and our cities look like a war zone.

Not even in Kabul or Somalia do we have this kind of situation.

They carry literal battle rifles.  Yes they do look scary if you are not used to it.  The irony is those things actually put them at a disadvantage in their normal settings of fighting crime in the city.

Yes most Kenyans are so used to - Uganda is even better - at least it's normally the security guards with some wooden contraption.Rwanda the police dont wear jungle wear.
