You would think that in a country known as the “Crime Capital of the World”, the cops would have better things to do than harass street vendors. Think again, because that is exactly what they can do very well apart from extorting bribes from the public.
But every now and again, one of them comes short, like the one who tried to rob Rugby player Bees Roux.
Now another useless Metro cop got “Beesed” after harassing a street vendor
Cop dies after being punched
In a clash with the police, the caravan owner (vendor) threw a punch which hit a metro police officer on the jaw. The officer fell backwards and hit his head hard on the ground. A while later, he was declared dead where he lay.
Check the worry in my eye.
In the same article they mention another incident where a taxidriver chased a cop with a knife and the cop ran away, receiving three stabs in his back. Only then did he think about shooting, but shot warning shots first. Useless, I tell you.
Just after the entire world took note of how nine Daveyton cops dragged Mido Macia behind a police van, another cop, this time from North West also assaulted and dragged a man from Setlopo Village alongside a police vehicle. Cop charged in new dragging case
In an incident in Knysna, an off duty police sergeant shot a motorist in a road rage incident. The motorist reversed his pick-up from a pavement into the road and in the way of the cop’s pick-up. The cop simply got out and shot the guy in the chest. The firearm used had been stolen earlier that evening from the Knysna police station. Cop arrested for shooting motorist in Knysna
But the best for the day was this one: Police captain arrested for selling guns to criminals
A Limpopo police captain has been arrested for allegedly illegally selling guns meant to be destroyed to the public. He was in charge of the storeroom. His wife, who is also a police captain, was in on the deal. An investigation found that at least three firearms went missing and were believed to be in criminals’ hands.
“This is where we store all those illegal firearms that we recover during operations and those that people volunteer to hand in. He then illegally sells them to the public, even before he registers them in our books,” said Limpopo police spokesman Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi.
