ASHTON POOL AND ROOMMATE: NOW TERRIFIED OF COPS AFTER BRUTAL BEATING BY COPS:
On June 11 2013, Eyewitness News received more complaints: from Ashton Pool and his roommate.-One case led to the arrest of two officers accused of stealing a bag full of expensive elctronics from Ashton Poool: arrested for a crossing a red robot in the dead of night ON DESERTED STREETS.(*Background: many South Africans fear stopping at traffic lights at night as the greatest number of assaults, hijackings and kidnappings take place at night at traffic lights.) Ashton Pool and his roommate were caught skipping a traffic light in the middle of the night, last month. During his hours of detention, he said, a police officer: 'ran up from a few meters and kicked me over a table. I landfed against a counter and then he came to hit me more'. The officer also threatened to pour boiling water on him. Pool said he had to leave his home and is battling at work. "When I put the kettle on I think of that and when I see a cop van I'm so paranoid, I mean these people are supposed to protect us.'
----------------
In another case a man was locked up and beaten after his fiance was accused of stealing a cellphone.

GERALD CAREY: STILL FEARS FOR HIS LIFE AFTER BRUTAL ASSAULT WITH BASEBALL BAT BY COPS:
In May, Gerald Carey was arrested, pushed into an empty plot and beaten with a baseball bat after he refused to pay a bribe.

An Emmerentia resident's house was turned upside down and damaged by policemen who claimed they were 'chasing information about a drug lab'. Last month Gerald Carey of Kempton Park also claimed he was beaten for refusing to a pay a bribe.
Cary said: "I was asking him what they were doing and why they were doing this to me. I told them they were hurting me and asked them why, because they were the police'. After he managed to stand up, he made a run for it and was able to hitchhike ome before being taken to hospital. The SaPS claim that in turn the officers 'have also opened a charge of assault against Carey, said Katlego Mogale.
And in May 2013, Pretoria technicon student Gopolang Ngobeni was shot dead execution-style by a cop while he was still getting out of a car, after it was stopped by 2 cops while he and four other friends were enroute to a funeral.
On May 30 2013, hundreds of students, staff and family paid tribute to murdered student Gopolang Ngobeni at the Pretoria University of Technology: who was 'allegedly' killed by a police officer in Randfontein. He was amongst five students travelling to a funeral when theys topped for directions at the garage. The constable ordered all of them out of the car and shot Ngobeni while he was still trying to get out of the car.

NATIONWIDE PROBLEM:
This is a nationwide problem: previous incidents of police brutality prompted a conference earlier this year on the behaviour of officers countrywide.
The 'Independent Police Investigations Division's Moses Dlamini was one of the speakers at a seminar on police brutality in Pretoria by the Institute of Security Studies. Dlamini also mentioned various cases: including the dragging-torture and murder of Mozambican taxi driver Mido Macia - but said '' not all police officers were guilty of brutality.'
