Cops killing suspects to become legal soon?
Recently added to De Vos's website;
Be afraid, be very afraid - Mar 3rd, 2010 by Pierre De Vos.
So, imagine you are driving home late at night in your BMW. You hear a screeching of tyres and see two overweight men pointing their guns at your head. You panic and – as if you are now sitting behind the wheel of one of those malfunctioning Toyota’s – your car accelerates. Bam! Bam! In two minutes you are as dead as Brett Kebble – but not from “assisted suicide”.
The police who shot and killed you will never be prosecuted – at least not if the new Draft Bill aimed at amending section 49(2) of the Criminal Procedure Act is passed by Parliament. The police officers in their unmarked car will say that your BMW (or one that looks just like yours) was used as getaway car in an armed robbery and they were trying to arrest you – and that will be the end of the matter. Your wife, husband, or children will have to learn to live without you – albeit in fear of also being shot and killed by the police at a later stage.
So much for your right to life and bodily integrity and the right (so often invoked by President Jacob Zuma) to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Those rights are obviously reserved for politicians driving in blue light convoys, with their thuggish bodyguards carrying black bags to hood enemies of the state. According to the Minister of Police, ordinary citizens do not enjoy those rights because, who knows, they might just be criminals.
The Draft Bill contains two important proposed changes which will make it far easier for the police to shoot and kill people without having to think too hard about whether this is reasonable or necessary.............

As for his comment about the new Law not (Constititionally) getting past Parliament, well, we got the FCA didn't we?

This doesn't only apply to 5 oh. It has application to anyone authorised to make arrests in terms of the CPA. This includes citizens.

A bit concerning, is that if this passes, then it opens the way for any gun owner to be shot on sight "as they may have committed a crime" - cannot disarm us, so now target us.

And we all know that de Vos has always been a bastion of non libral non PC thinking.
