They are cops after all, so bullying a motorist out of the fast lane, even though unpleasant is technically not a crime and won't be making any news. It's instances like this when they cross the line that will make news.

That isn’t what the law says.

Law only allows for them to ignore traffic signs and markers, and the speed limit. It expressly forbids endangering other motorists

In addition to being disgusted and outraged, I would like to know (doubt we ever will, though) -

1. who their principal is,
2. was his vehicle in the convoy yesterday,
3. did his vehicle drive on while the assault took place,
4. or did he see the assault, and
5. what he did about it (obvs nothing, so yes, that is just rhetorical).

I don't believe you haven't seen a blue light convoy and how they drive on the freeway taking up all the lanes and pushing other cars off the road.

On M1, it is usually only the right lane and typically security guys motorcycles waving motorists to stay off right lane. Hogging all lanes would be rather impractical considering they are speeding.

I assume the new admin wants to get rid of the group. I don't see this probe finding in any way than what the speaker and her admin want. When Dada took over temporarily he started by trying to get rid of the investigations and planned lifestyle audits so this just follows from there.

Cope will be done sooner rather than later. She will resurface at either ANC or EFF. A few of the Cope people found themselves to the DA but they now seem to be supporting EFF/ANC coalitions.

Dude, you don't have to continue holding grudges that you picked up somewhere else. Are you teenager or is it a high IQ stuff that you do ?

It must be the high IQ stuff which causes us to go live in the mountains far away from people to make the pain stop.

Exactly this, they would literally have nowhere to go because even if you wanted to give way where will you go if they are in all lanes?

victims will be easier to find as they are likely to complain on social media. It is the perps that need to be found.

oh. good but hopefully criminal charges and not just internal process.
Mathe said the police officers involved have also been identified and would be subjected to internal processes.

Well the victims can make a charge of assault against them. I sincerely hope that their life expectancy doesn't take a nosedive however.
