I am a police reservist here in South Africa and when we catch criminals we usually give them a good beating! What are your opinions on that? Is it unfair or wrong? If you ask me, I think they deserve it, just like they would kill a person just for their cellphone without even the slightest of emotion! They don't care, why should others care about them?!

I say kick them to death, dump them in the bush to save the paper work, and go on to the next ba@*$!d.
That way we can rid this beautiful country of the scourge of thugs.

I know the reasoning behind it and the frustrations that the police feel in South Africa.
I have some friends in Cape Town who are police officers.
They arrest people while putting their own lives at risk only to have be shot at and arrest the same people again the next week because the justice system has failed.
The result is that a lot of people become self appointed judges and expeditors of punishment.
This is not a healthy situation and puts many usually law abiding citizens in situations that they would not find themselves in, in other countries.
You could find yourself being punished more severely than the criminal.
This is what happens in societies where there is no justice or answerability.
South Africa is not a healthy environment and this becomes evident when one lives in other countries abroad.
Good luck.

i particularly have faith South Africa would be going for an prolonged time. in the process the undesirable potential cuts, the goverment is slowly realising the will of a proficient useful paintings tension. If something, to even guard the infrastructure that has saved South Africa the biggest financial gadget in Africa. they're quickly realising the blunders of affirmative action, and making use of experienced labour distant places (to the whole ingredient approximately different international locations). i think of they are going to ultimately get rid of it, and with a bit of luck not too late. From there the rustic will improve lower back and finally restoration itself/financial gadget slowly. yet as quickly as lower back, with a bit of luck not after all the useful knowledgeable foe are lured to first-worldwide international locations.

Motti you know how this human rights thing has spiraled out of control to a point. the public tends to take the law into their own hands and beat up "suspected" criminals... let the police do it, and it hits the head lines and is seen as being bad, police men being corrupt... etc, etc... bullshyt if you ask me. But just to reserve a good name and stance i suppose its best if you dont, unless like previously said... if they pose a serious threat and you were defending yourself. mwah!!!!
be careful angel...its a jungle out there.... (",)

the problem is that police brutality in any country is a downward spiral. effective policing and community control depends on the police's ability to connect with the population. once you lose this link, you are enemies with the very people who you are meant to help and who are of the most help to you.
when a community loses faith in the police, they tend to shield criminals, and in return, criminals sometimes share the rewards of crime with that community, even if it is a beer. it is usually more than the goverment provides anyway.
i have studied this very phenomenon in the settlements in port moresby, the worst city in the world, and believe me, it's the wrong path.

It's not a concern of mine one way or the other. We here in North America deal with police brutality, and it's what I worry about most, not what goes on in other countries which is none of my business anyway.
But, just to throw my two-cents worth in, brutality is wrong in any concept, unless your life is in immediate danger. If not, then people shouldn't be beaten.
