On Friday night, well to be more correct, Saturday morning, police raided three clubs in Stellenbosch on an anti-drug campaign it seems.

This video on YouTube, allegedly taken from CCTV show just what a shining example our police are to the rest of the world. Notice how courteous they are to the terrified students. Shoving them to the ground and all. Also at one point you can see one of the cops firing off a gun at the ceiling. Considering how placid these kids were, I really don’t know why that was necessary.
Of course, as always, the Police spokesperson, Elliot Sinyangana, puts everything into perspective and avoids the subject by simply confirming the raids and saying that a considerable amount of drugs had been confiscated.
Yeah totally, a few drugs completely justifies the brutal actions of the cops. Students are coming forward and claiming that they were thrown against walls, pepper sprayed while lying on the ground, pistol whipped and, according to some of the chicks, were sexually violated. Sorry boys and girls, you had a few drugs on you, of course you should be violated!
Pffft.
And people wonder why most of us don’t take the cops seriously.
On a happier note, despite being all drugged up to prevent snot running out of my nose and all over my shirt, my interview went great yesterday and the Goblin now has to work. Well, it’s called work, but it could be worse. I write all day long.

Looks like carefully edited and selected footage to me.
Congrats on the job. Awesome stuff.
Are you writing up police reports?
Yeah I reckon it’s been cut nicely to make the cops look worse than they are. However if there are assault charges being pressed, and it seems there are, it’s somewhat of an indication of their crap
Ha! I’m not THAT good at fiction. It’s for a small company, writing scripts.
I, for one, am glad to see the police taking appropriate measures with these drug-crazed miscreants. They were probably dancing, too.
Good lord, I didn’t even think of them dancing! Evil satan children
They were celebating Argus weekend.
They deserve everything they got.

Whoever wrote this is obviously a pig.
“Whoever wrote this is obviously a pig.”
Or is being mildly sarcastic. Whatever.
Whereas, sarcasm aside, I genuinely AM glad to see the police taking appropriate measures with those drug-crazed miscreants.
