So the police are hooligans?

See if you can spot the difference. And the typos and random capitalizations are as they appeared in the paper.

Hooligans beat up DP Members
A GANG of hooligans, commonly known as kanyamas, yesterday roughed up Democratic Party (DP) members as they tried to march to Kamwokya Market to address a rally.
The men, some of whom were chewing mairunji (khat), descended on the team near Namirembe Road enroute to Kamwyoka. The over 10 kanyamas, who emerged from Kisenyi, a slum, descended on the DP group and beat them up before a commuter taxi could whisk them away.
The secretary general of the Uganda Young Democrats (UYD), Samuel Muyizi, who was badly beaten in the scuffle, was rushed to the hospital.
Kenneth Kakande, the UYD vice-chairperson was also thumped by the men who caught up with him on Martin Road.
Kayigo, who claimed to be the group’s leader, said: “We do not want these people to come into our area because the Police will accuse us of causing insecurity.”
Calm was restored when Kampala Extra Police chief Edward Ochom and a Military Police team arrived at the scene. As the men retreated, the security officers nabbed one of them and whisked him to the Central Police Station.

[Note: to go from Namirembe Road to Martin you need to pass in front of Old Kampala Police station.]

Police Disperse DP demonstrators
As Queen Elizabeth II addressed Parliament yesterday morning, police were busy fighting protestors in downtown Kampala.
Police spent several hours battling members of the Democratic Party (DP) youth wing in Kisenyi for organizing a procession in an unrestricted area of Namirembe Road.
The Queen arrived in Uganda on Wednesday evening to open the CHOGM.
The scuffle began at around 1pm after Uganda Young Democrats (UYD) Secretary General Sam Muyizi ordered DP activists to move towards Kololo through the city centre contrary to police directives.
Kololo is the designated protest area during CHOGM.
Mr.. Muyizi was injured in the process. He was rushed to Mulago Hospital; UYD Vice President Kenneth Kakande was also beaten up.
Kampala Extra Regional Police Commander Edward Ochom said the DP members broke the rules.
The over 500 protestors were led by DP president General John Ssebaana. The party leader, however, melted away as the police advanced.

[Note: He must have been hiding with the gangs…]

Either
A. The DP group is having a really bad day, especially Samuel (alias Sam)
B. The police are actually part of a khat-chewing gang called Kanyamas
C. There are some inconsistencies in reporting

Question: Did the reporters even speak to the Police Commander? Because each paper called him something different and he apparently said something totally different to each one. I’m just asking – that’s all.
