WANTED: Ian Cameron puts out an APB on Mashatile’s blue light thugs

Loading player...
The civil rights group Action Society has issued WANTED posters for six of the VIP Protection Unit members who assaulted unarmed civilians - and repeatedly kicked an unconscious man at the side of a highway in full glare of the public. Action Society’s Ian Cameron is outraged that the officers involved in the unprovoked attack have not been arrested and charged, but have just been put on administrative duty. “I mean, if you and I pointed a gun at someone, then kick them, beat them until they're unconscious, carried on beating them after they had lost consciousness, then we'd be behind bars. You and I would be begging for bail.” Cameron also describes the ordeal suffered by the victim, Lvaughn Fisher, who thought it was a hijacking. - Chris SteynYour early morning brew of the BizNews Insider keeps you up to speed with the content that matters.
