I'll say it again: WE DO NOT HAVE A POLICE FORCE worthy of the name Stay safe, everyone.
carbon29er Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Jeez, that's HECTIC. I'll say it again: WE DO NOT HAVE A POLICE FORCE worthy of the name Stay safe, everyone.Reminds me of this headline a few years ago: It's so sad we have to laugh.
Fat Boab Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Reminds me of this headline a few years ago:PS0394.jpg It's so sad we have to laugh. Let me guess, ammo was subject to budget cuts?
carbon29er Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Let me guess, ammo was subject to budget cuts?Maybe the training was. As Sean Connery said in Eliot Ness: Don't bring a knife to a gunfight. Unless you are attacking a SA soldier with a R4 assault rifle.
Reinhardt89 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Jeez, that's HECTIC. I'll say it again: WE DO NOT HAVE A POLICE FORCE worthy of the name Stay safe, everyone.I live around the block from the Rondebosch police station. It has palisade fences and trellidoor gates along with burglar bars... am I the only one who finds this ironic?

That sounds more like a flimsy excuse by a soldier who sold a gun...
Ampandy Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Speedy recovery to the cyclist. Go figure why I ride with an H&K40.
carbon29er Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 That sounds more like a flimsy excuse by a soldier who sold a gun...Plural. Soldiers. But then again IOL newspapers have so rapidly approached the standards set by the new age bastion of truth and accuracy in reporting it is impossible to guess.
gummibear Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Cop was injured when he dived for cover and wasn't shot. Any news on the cyclist??
