Die onafhanklike polisie-ondersoekdirektoraat (Opod) ondersoek die dood van ʼn man wat Dinsdag tydens ʼn betoging in Stutterheim in die Oos-Kaap geskiet is.
Kapt. Siphokazi Mawisa, woordvoerder van die polisie, sê ʼn groep van ongeveer 100 gemeenskapslede het voor die plaaslike munisipaliteit betoog oor werkloosheid. Die betogers het bande aan die brand gesteek, die pad beskadig en geboue aan die brand gesteek.
Volgens Mawisa is twee munisipale geboue heeltemal verwoes en nog twee geboue beskadig.
Moses Dlamini, woordvoerder van Opod, sê die polisie is na die toneel ontbied en by hul aankoms is polisiebeamptes deur lede van die gemeenskap aangerand. “ʼn Polisievoertuig is ook met klippe bestook,” het Dlamini gesê.
Volgens Dlamini het die polisie in die rigting van die betogers geskiet. “Een man is in die kop geskiet en na die hospitaal geneem. Hy is in die vroeë oggendure van 17 Oktober oorlede.”
ʼn Saak van moord word ondersoek.
Niemand is nog in verband met die voorval in hegtenis geneem nie. Volgens Dlamini sal die toneel vandag herkonstrueer word.
Dis juis omdat die polisie se hande afgekap is dat 100 mense soveel skade aanrig. Wat sal die skade wees as duisende mense betoog? SA polisie het te min regte. Misdadigers moet hardhandig behandel word. Dan sal dinge verander. Kriminele het meer regte as polisie and wets gehoorsame burgers.
So Betogers wat alles afbrand het meer regte as wetsgehoorsame burgers of die Polisie. Die regering.het die Polisie ook uitverkoop
Wens ons krieket was so sterk, 20miljoen skade vir die verlies van een.

National Instruction 1/2016
CHAPTER 6: THE USE OF LETHAL FORCE
(5) “In the case of crimes against property, irrespective of the value of the property, the use of lethal force in order to effect an arrest will never be permissible. Property can never be more valuable than the life of a human being.”
“Arrest may lead to increased violence in same cases and thus defeat the principles of crowd management. In those circumstances it would often be more effective to wait for an opportune moment after the gathering, or to charge offenders at a later stage.”
= Principle Of Situational Appropriateness.
Werkloosheid… ag nee maggies. Bak ñ vetkoek met deel van jou “child grant” ipv om dit uit te drink om van die ellende te vergeet. Maak skroot metaal bymekaar en verkoop dit. Maak sakke vol vullis uit die strate bymekaar en herwin dit. Werk val nie uit die lug uit nie.
