DA calls for police brutality commission of inquiry

DA spokesperson on police Dianne Kohler Barnard says the latest incident, where a woman was beaten by an off-duty cop, proves a “major crisis”.

The DA has called for a commission of inquiry into police brutality following another video, released by eNCA on Friday, showing an off-duty policeman assaulting a woman in Smithfield in the Free State.

The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) is investigating the incident.
