I have just read the story of the 8 policemen who killed a
taxi driver yesterday. I watched the video yesterday and was sick in my stomach.
The complete disregard for the law which these men in blue are supposed to
uphold is appalling. These guys seem to believe they are above the law and can
do thuggery in broad daylight, JURING the people nogal. As if to make an
example out of whoever is unfortunate enough to be their target.
It is said all 8 officers have been suspended and disarmed
following the incident. This now makes me wonder if SAPS exist under a
different rule book to that which I live. I truly am confused as to why these
blood thirsty barbarians are not behind bars. I understand our country has an
advanced legal system that follows due processes and one is considered innocent
until proven guilty. That is all fair and good. However, had I been recorded
hitting someone with a baseball bat, then say the person dies shortly after
that…would the police give me a few days off while they carried on an
investigation or would I be in a police cell by that time? I would expect to be
in police custody by then because…(read slowly) The Video, shows ME clubbing
the victim with a bat.
Apparently this investigation will be done quickly. Hmm…I
can’t help remembering all the other investigations against policemen that stay
on the shelf so long until they are to testify in a high profile case. Is this
paid suspension? AM I contributing to the paid holiday of these men that so
mercilessly committed such a heinous crime? The news also mentioned possible
arrests of the cops. Wow. Would I be held under the same laws were I to have
committed this? It just doesn’t make sense.
