The consequences are profound. Clearly criminals no longer have any compunction about taking out top cops who get in their way. The thin blue line is broken, possibly irrevocably.

In March, organised crime investigator Lt-Col Leroy Bruwer was shot dead in an ambush. Now gang unit commander Lt-Col Charl Kinnear has been killed in an apparent hit. Where does it stop? Are prosecutors, magistrates and judges next?
