A photo of a cop pointing a gun at protestors in Nairobi CBD during the anti-government demonstrations has been circulated online, with a call to identify and bring him to justice.

The man, pictured without a police uniform, was wearing a rugged grey jean, a white hoodie, and a black jacket on top of the hoodie.
