Cop endangers
Afrikaner baby girl by "forgetting" his R5 rifle
-- This is why South African Police lost hundreds of firearms in a year - video
only in Afrikaans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC-cXVpDMZQ -- Report by Vania van der Heever, Netwerk24 om Randfontein on the West Rand, called the police shortly before
12:00 on Thursday after their home was broken into and a generator stolen,
reported Netwerk24.Two police officers later arrived and sat down in the lounge
to take their statement. One of them left his weapon propped against the wall
near the baby’s toys – and then forgot it there.Nikita, 23, said she went ice
cold when she found her baby girl "sitting and playing” with the rifle in
the lounge.“They took my statement and left. I walked with them to the gate.
Then I locked the gate behind me and went to the bathroom.“When I came back, my
child was sitting with the rifle in front of her and playing with it. She had
pressed on the firearm.“I quickly picked up my child and took a photo of the
firearm. I called the police and told them about the rifle.“The guilty police
officer said I should keep the weapon in a safe place [and] he would fetch it
later. The two [officers] arrived only two hours later to get it. “We didn’t know
what to do. I asked a member of the community policing forum (CPF) to come to
my house and asked him to take it. He put it on top of the cupboard.”‘What if a
shot went off?’ Kobus van Zyl said he did not want to give the gun back to the
officers.“I asked them if the rifle’s safety was on. They couldn’t answer me. I
didn’t want to give the gun back to them. "I wanted a senior officer to
come get it. A police officer with a more senior rank arrived. I then heard
that the officer put the gun against the wall. My child let the rifle fall over
and put it with her toys. What if a shot went off? "Then I was told that I
couldn’t lay a charge because my child wasn’t hurt.”Police spokesman Lungelo
Dlamini said the police station concerned was "made aware of the incident
and disciplinary steps would be taken". http://stopwhitegenocideinsa.blogspot.com/…/this-is-why-sou…
