The public reacts

What a shame, no protection for the innocent... how can we ever trust our police officers?

Bernie Hayes Geldenhuys

No matter what, the police should have intervened as it happened in their presence.

Elbi Dippenaar

We should all, no matter the colour of our skin, take a stand against this kind of abuse. It affects us all.
