South African police shoot dead striking miners
#2
Warning shots would have been enough to stop them. Or tear gas. Instead, what I saw were Police with automatic weapons mowing down protesting miners...unclear [but not really important] if the few nearest the Police were heading in the direction of the Police or not - they were still far away. It was outright murder.....and I'm sure they'll be a 'commission of inquiry' and nothing will happen to any of the Police....that's how it works.
