Dampare was a disciplinarian. One thing I have learnt is that Ghanaians never like disciplinarians. Back in high school, the teachers that were disciplinarians were a nuisance to us. Once u enforce the rules u seen as wicked

Chale, Dampare handled Fix The Country and Democracy Hub demonstrations very poorly. Maybe he was trying to please Akufo Addo not to sack him.

Dampare was just doing things that will please only the public.

Even in the case of minor demonstration he will oder 1000s of Police men to come from all the regions just to come and meet about 50 people on the streets exercising their constitutional right.
