Police Violence on the Rise – NGO
Tuesday 21 February, 2012 - 15:54
The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) says that police violence appears to be on the rise.
ISS senior researcher, Johan Burger, points out that, “There are on average 100 police officers killed in this country every year and so these are things that go on in the minds of police officials,” he explains.
He adds that this still does not excuse the police from acting outside the law themselves and says that he thinks that this is something that the public would want to have much more assurances on.
