🔴⚪️ Bruno Guimarães: “Declan Rice sent me a message: Come here and please no more fights, now we’re friends!”.

This isn't a mob or a group of vigilantes. These are South African police officers. It's one thing to restrain a suspect who has already been subdued. It's another to wrap a cloth around his head to suffocate him while continuing to hit him.
He died, and the response from a South African female minister was that the "foreigner was resisting arrest."
This man was killed inside his own home. We are witnessing the systematic targeting of Nigerians in South Africa.
