[HAPPENING NOW] @DCS_ZA Emergency support team (EST) is currently raiding the Westville prison in Durban.
The facility is part of the top big five countrywide with over four thousand inmates kept here. @ECR_Newswatch
The victim is encouraged to open a criminal case of assault with the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (@RSA_IPID) against the @JoburgMPD Metro Police Officer.
Such conduct by a law enforcement official is unacceptable, unlawful, and wholly inappropriate. The use of force by law enforcement officers is regulated by law and must be lawful, necessary, reasonable, and justified by the circumstances.
Any abuse of powers or authority must be dealt with in accordance with the law.

Help us find this brother so we can assist him with lodging a complaint against @JoburgMPD
Lawlessness can never be celebrated!
@Jaca_Patrick we hope there’ll be a statement today on steps you will be taking on this matter and that these officers will be placed on suspension.
