Good cop, bad drunkards

[Fudzy]

Once the two cars are parked at the garage, one of the men in the vehicle pursuing Shikwambana alights from the vehicle and is seen kicking the passenger door of the policeman’s sedan.

He then walks towards the driver’s door, giving the officer’s wife a chance to flee into the store.

Suddenly, the 27-year-old officer, who is stationed at Groblersdal police station, steps out of the car with a service pistol.

With the pistol pointing to the ground, Shikwambana walks backwards as the man confronts him.

He manages to flee into the store and quickly hands the weapon to a cashier. Within a moment, two men enter the store and charge at him.

Commendable action by the police officer in dealing with the situation, I hope those oafs get some time.

 

[_Jakes_]

Why didn't he just shoot them? or at least fired a warning shot.

Well done to this policeman for not losing his cool...

These mothercants are very lucky. I would have pelted them with a bullet each in the shin. These chap is quite chilled. Deserves recognition!

Why didn't he just shoot them?

I think for most people even cops shooting and potentially killing others isn't something taken lightly. It has been known to haunt people for years.

Stupid cop should have killed them

I would not be surprised if there are Afrikaans okes after a heavy night drinking brandy & Coke.

I am waiting for the other side of the story, so here I am.

I would have shot them. I hope they get jail time!

 

[LazyLion]

I hope these idiots sit in jail for a very long time!

Maybe he tried to get a bribe from them, you know, since we are generalizing now.

Who's generalizing?

:erm: How stupid were these okes ? Good for the cop not shooting them but man if they threatened my wife they might not be alive if I was him.

In his private vehicle with his wife in the car? And not wearing a police uniform.

He was in uniform and even if he did want a bribe you don't attack a policeman.

Agreed. If my wife was threatened, it would be a different story!

I was a student in 1988 and I was in a bar once where a lot of working class Afrikaans blokes used to hang out. I heard the stories that night about how they used to go out after the bar closed looking for black men to beat up. Not much seems to have changed for these okes on the farm.
