SA Police Service murder reaches CNN
If we do nothing this will get worse!
Last September Lee Anne Douglas was killed by police while attempting to drive to police station because she was afraid to pull over for an unmarked police car. This story has now been shown to the world on Ame...rican CNN. Lee Anne was asked by a police woman to pay a R6000.00 bribe which Lee Anne refused to pay. What happened after that can only be described as horrific. The following is a sequence of events...
• Lee Anne bumped into a neighbour's motor scooter and that neighbour filed charges. The charges were dismissed however a police woman demanded a bribe of R6,000 anyway
• Police woman shows up at Lee Anne's home and arrests her without a warrant or reason to be at Mrs Douglas’s home. Female officer allegedly assaults Lee Anne Douglas
• Lee Anne is held by police for three days and released without charge
• Police woman again demands bribe of R6,000 from Lee Anne in which Lee Ann refuses to pay.
• Lee Ann reports officers involved and lays charges off false arrest and bribery against police
• Police woman attempts to rip Lee Ann out of her drivers side window. Lee Ann flees from police woman
• Police in an unmarked police car attempt to stop Lee Ann. The first reason they give for trying to stop her is because she ran a red light, later the reason is changed to erratic driving then yet again it is changed to suspicion of drunk driving
• Police shoot at Lee Ann's car even though they are aware that there is a roadblock ahead only a few kilometres
• Lee Ann's car flips and ejects Lee Ann. Police officers fail to render aid to the dying victim and immediately attempt to come up with a cover story in which they have the car dragged 50 meters from the accident scene. Police further attempt to cover up the crime by omitting the fact that they fired upon the car. “When the vehicle was towed away, the station commander noticed bullet holes in the vehicle and he called the suspects and tried to get clarity – they could not give a reasonable explanation for the shooting,”
