South African police trained in crowd control techniques

[Allahsucks100]

Give me a fucking break the pussy French teaching crowd control! Bring back the white south African police. They know how to kick ass. If you want to be passive let the French train you.

[jimmyhoffa9]

local police have no expierence?! suck my balls. south africa is the most civilised place in africa and over 1300 of their officers have died since 1994. the french haven't got a fucking clue. all they've done is lose fights. the old methods were better. shoot the fuckers or control them by beatings and dogs. glad to see south africa still has a proper police baton, not that ASP shit around now.

What year?/

[MrNooobtooob]

send them the fuck back to africa.

[mynameisroberta]

I like SA's old methods better :/

[gcexposer2010]

this will happen this at the fifa cup 2010

[mauman]

it would have helped if they had pilots for their helicopters. Seems 3 non white candidates were accepted and 40 qualified whites rejected as it's not representative of the population. helicopters stay grounded. Source. DA statement of today.

I wish the cops well though

[ColRaze]

lmao, why change the techniques that worked?

People need to remeber, the police are supposed to stop people who break the law, or act against it. Not tolerate them in a relaxed manner xD

[Elementorum]

POLICE DESERVE NO RESPECT - FROM NOBODY

if ur a COP and you read this - Kill urself or retire.

[gcexposer2010]

@Elementorum are job is to make sure this world isn't fucked up and it already is but not as fucked up as it would of been if there were no cops

[xK3araHx]

What? You cant enforce European rules to afrika. Europe doesnt attack because of stupid laws on being polite but thats not how afrika is expected to follow? Shooting at them with rubber bullets works more than huddling behind shields ¬¬

[pislelie]

Oh come on. Our Riot police are feared because they do not adhere to international policies. Now what ?

I was looking forward to the europeans clashing with the african way of riot policing.

What will we be watching now ?? Isidingo ???

[Theoryofknowledge01]

You see there's the problem - it's international. If an accident occurs and a foreign national is killed in a riot due to SAPS Riot Control techniques (say someone is trampled to death cause of running crowds, etc.) of firing rubber bullets or so on...well we have the eyes of the entire world on us. It wouldn't be good. But I do agree...I was looking forward to seeing some British football hooligans being battered by the cops.

[Terenacious]

leave Europeans techniques for Europe, it is a completely different rioter/protester in Africa. There is nothing wrong with the way the cops deal with protester here, yes learn & take the best from the French but stay active. Let a European rioter get hit with a rubber bullet he will shit himself and think it over real good next time !

[alphanumericMan]

I totally agree with you

[777RN777]

No south africans use the R4 or R5 rifle... google it... and its good we get some outside help... besides France has hosted a soccer world cup... we havent

[PreCurSeD]

before long there will be a foreign power in the US battering the citizens if they try to protest the government

as if they dont do that already

[Tapey01]

While I understand we cannot go shooting tourists, police just holding a shield... thats just asking for trouble. With the rubber bullets there is some motivation not to cause problems.

[Bidmartinlo]

bean bags and rubber bullets is really what they should normaly use. It isn't that violent.

[FreeStateCheetah]

How bad have things got in SA, what with BEE and white fight, that we now have to bring consultants in from OUTSIDE to train our police on such a basic skill as crowd control

[str34twizeII]

I like the old technique, just shoot them

[AnotherSceptic]

Die probleem gaan nie die buitelanders wees nie. Dit gaan ons locals wees wat die sokker gan sien as n geleentheid om moles te maak en te demand.... en hulle gooi nie net klippe nie.

[DaSlug32]

The French have no idea how crowds operate in SA. AK47's are not common in France - let the French stick to cooking.

[ItalianKid2030]

south africans probrably use M1s as their rifles

[DaSlug32]

No, the police in SA normally sell their guns to crime gangs. The amount of weapons 'lost' by the police service, makes you wonder who you should be more scared of.

[harrychown1989]

somebody invited them to SA to show the police how its done properly, probably because somebody likes the way the french do it.

[Hendo1974]

S.A. police is a shadow of it's former self, too many unfit and poorly educated personnel! Way too much corruption and abuse! Most locals have very little faith in the police! Increasing amount will settle for vigilante justice! The judicial system is a joke!
