Cops caught on camera 'executing' criminal (WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT)

I would have thought that unless he was very highly connected the act of shooting at police would have made it impossible for his docket to disappear.

Our justice system is useless. He'd still be out on the street soon and somebody else would be his victim. He is the epitomy of what is wrong with this country - 8 children and couldn't afford them so he thinks he can just take from others. South African Entitlement 101.

Again, what is the relevance? If I had just shot at the cops first, then yes...I would expect to be shot by them.
Has no bearing on this situation, no similarities at all.
If a criminal tries to shoot me or my family, and I am able to subdue him...the threat is not over until it is 100% over.

As for kangaroo courts, you are wrong again. The usual dockets are opened. But can you please show me 3 examples of people who were convicted and jailed for murder as part of a revenge mob or "kangaroo court"?

Bit of a tall ask, can you show me 3 examples of people who weren't convicted and jailed?
 
When the police throw the rule of law and justice out the window then we'd better be worried, because no one is safe when they become a law unto themselves

Agree. At first I was glad, but then I realized this isn't good for the society in the long run.

Inevitable when you have laws and a justice system that essentially allows violent crimals to run amok.
 
Good work cops!
If you shoot at cops they will shoot back and kill you.
 
It is strange how brainwashed people seem to automatically side with the cops. Scary, actually.

I don't feel sorry for criminals - especially armed robbers, that get killed, but still, many cops are basically criminals that just happen to be on the "right" side of the law.

Edit: This "police" is not much different from the Apartheid "police", they're probably just a little more open to bribes.

One could argue that the occasional execution by cop is not going to cause the entire police force to go gung ho on ordinary civilians. It's a bit of a slippery slope argument which is pushed that if some instances of this happened, especially in this climate of high crime, then all hell will break loose. After all one's chances of getting murdered by cop are much, much less than being killed by ordinary criminals.

Saying that militarised cops are a bad thing, still this is South Africa, where criminals have illegal assault rifles and use them.

Obviously the thing to do now is ban, all gun ownership.

Banning all gun ownership is not going to stop the criminals. Guns will come across the borders, stolen from police and military bases.
 
Irresponsible of the media to use the term "criminal" in the title and then omit to mention the deceased was previously found guilty in a court of law. Perpetrator is more appropriate.
 
Not a great fan of the journalism in that story, yes we have on less criminal on the streets but to try paint him in some way other than the career criminal that he was irritates me.

BUT, what those cops did is definitely not on, regardless of the fact that the guy had shot at them... he was apparently unarmed so they effectively executed him which is not for them to do in the slightest.
 
Security guards with 8 children.
The Sunday Times reported that Khulekani Mpanza, a security guard with eight children, walked into a hardware store on October 19, loitered near the entrance, and then took out a gun, walked back out and fired eight shots at a nearby police van.

Watch the Facebook vid clip, the suspect was definitely armed when cop shot him. The reporter's narrative is somewhat inaccurate.
 
Everyone jumping on the "unarmed" bandwagon.
What they meant is "disarmed"
His gun was out of his reach. So basically, he was unarmed at the time he was successfully removed from his criminal endeavours.
Still couldn't care less. And when they find the guys who drowned the men and raped the woman at Rhodes park, I wish they would do the same thing. But they won't, and arrested criminals will continue to get convicted at a rate of 6% or something crazy, and the rest of us will continue to die daily.
