the cops are getting more and more arrogant ( i am not talking about your hard working underpaid police force who deal with and arrest criminals all day long only to see them back on the street after a slap on the wrist by the judicial system) - i mean the metro cops and traffic cops.
recently the metro in joburg pulled over and intimidated a white woman who hooted at a taxi for passing in the yellow line, while the taxi was ignored and let go. the woman then wanted to take a picture of the cop because he wast wearing a name tag, he then started beating her!
it seems they are using more and more "over the top" methods to catch traffic offenders who's crimes pale in comparison to rapes, farm murders, and daily armed and aggrevated so called robberies and hijackings.
perhaps they are watching too much reality TV and think they are part of a SWAT team chasing a terrorist or something...
