He either got beaten because he did something wrong.

Or he got beaten for standing up against something that is wrong.


It is just so convenient that the video gives zero context.
Doesn't matter what actually happened.There are other ways to restrain someone unless he had a knife or gun threating them.
Cops " not all" are thugs just the same

Hear me out. Perhaps he did not pay the rental fee for one of their rental firearms?

Yap. Video needs context.

Some deserve it though. Always good to see police handing out a few klappe and skoppe to real criminals.
I agree but the problem is if we allow police officers to dish it out in the street then innocent people will get hurt.

This. Many a criminal gets beaten up on a regular basis. This thread needs more information. Very surprised that there's so few calls in this thread for it. When that only man gun pointed a kid and beat him up this forum was all in for ore information.

More information would allow us to make a more toned comment - on this video.

Still doesn't make the lack of restraint on the part of SAPS right, considering the guy was not armed - in the video, was not retaliating - in the video.

Race shouldn't even come into it - that's the concerning part. Its an obsession in SA.

Equally - no amount of information on this particular video can erase the fact that SAPS are facing claims amounting to almost ZAR60bn nor will it erase the fact that the SAPS literally can get away with murder.

It’s still not the way to disable the alleged assailant.
We saw it with the cops and the policevan a while ago.
You handcuff it and disable the perp. You don’t beat it up unless it has a weapon and are threatening your life. And then you disarm them and cuff them.

Trying to find the link.
This is police brutality.

Correct. Context is necessary.

The police have their own video so if they lashed out at him they would have reason for it, I think this guy assaulted the police first

Amazing thing is, that if you read a lot of the comments it's the guy being beat up who is racist and the cops are just doing their job.
The BIG question is..

the guy being beat up, does he have a criminal record, is he high on fentanyl, does he have an arrest warrant on his name, is he resisting arrest or does he have fake rand notes ???????????

or these cops just abusing their power.
