Now look at this: Just another example of the brutality of the Police Farce scum of South Africa
They tried to arrest a Mozambican taxi driver, Mido Macia (27), for parking on the wrong side of the road in Benoni on the East Rand of Johannesburg, then tried to bundle him into the back of the van, but when he struggled, they handcuffed him to the van and drove off, dragging him 400 meters.

He was later found dead in the police holding cells in Daveyton. A post mortem conducted on Wednesday indicated that the man died of head injuries, with internal bleeding.
Probably kicked to death by the police in the holding cells.
Amnesty International has called the death shocking. "This appalling incident involving excessive force is the latest in an increasingly disturbing pattern of brutal police conduct in South Africa," Amnesty International's Southern Africa director Noel Kututwa said in a statement.
The death made international headlines…As if Marikana wasn’t enough exposure of SA Police brutality.

Australian report: South Africa police watchdog investigates taxi driver death
This is also not the first time.
I have reported many times on police brutality in SA, like here for instance…
Mike Smith: South Africa’s criminal Police Force
Mike Smith on police brutality in SA
The bad part of it is that NOTHING happens to these policemen!!
I reported in there…”In one year, 2008-2009, a total of 2134 cases were brought against the police. Of that only 38 convictions followed. That is a conviction rate of 1,78%...
In there I also warned that they must be careful that the people do not turn against them. It’s coming.
