Yea I agree, I'm a coloured guy and I've gotten pulled over twice already in 2 different cars for looking suspicious. It was the wee hours of the morning while I was driving home. The sad thing is it's usually the coloured and black cops that starts pushing you around and man handle you to impress their white colleagues. In Stellenbosch the cops even covered their name badges. When a laid a compalint with them I was told I wasn't aloowed to so I phone the MEC for safety and security who sent the Cape Town Area commissioner to take my complaints.

But nothing happened of it because the cops where only interviewed after they could collaborate their story. They however made one flaw, when I came to lay the charges I was wearing glasses and not the night before (was wearing my contacts). The one female officer that I identified from the night before saw me with my glasses the day after the incident and they all claimed a guy wearing glasses behaved riotously after being pulled over. Thus they had to subdue me.

I can garuantee you now that nothing will happen to those cops and that is why people are afraid to confront police officers, because most of them believe they're above the law.

They need to seriously get camera systems mounted in the car, and if they don't follow procedure(switch off/cover camera), they must get suspended.

I have had a black friend arrested by the cops when he and his brother were driving in HIS car. They got thrown in a cheese wagon, and a white lady cop pepper sprayed them while in there. When they eventually discovered he was innocent, they made sure the assaulting lady left before they let them out of the cheese wagon.

Look, we have been broken into a few times, and it's never been whites, (every time we saw the criminals) but when on the roads, unless caught in the act, procedure needs to be followed.

Sometimes I am ashamed of being white...

It does make sense why majority of criminals are blacks, +-75% of SA population is black people, and black people still get the short end of the stick economically.
Though most love denying it, black people are still systematically oppressed by those with capital (majority of whom are white), statistics always show this, but as usual ways are devised to discredit those statistics.

The cops are racist I am oriental and the one night after dinner I was driving home from village walk to hurlingham a cop car with 2 black cops stops next to me and looks at me and then forces me to stop in a deserted dark road he searches my car and finds nothing he ties to get some money out of me I tell him to get lost as I have done nothing wrong and then they swear at me and drive off. I am a senior manager at a bank so I am not suspicious looking, dont tell me they were just doing their job

True that the cops are trying to do their jobs?
but do they even know how to do that, most of them don't even know how to fill in basic report forms. how then can we even expect them to know the statutes that govern their duties, the basic rights of the citizens? From what I've seen most of them are still hung up in their apartheid era tactics where human rights are non existant, more so for black people.

I don't get it everything from sport to crime always has to be linked to racism, get over it people, it was meant to be, we are different and differences will always have opposites even in countries where apartheid was not a law. The way that the officer went about it was unacceptable, but at least they are doing something about suspicious cars. In our area there are armed thugs in a blue Golf stopping people and hijacking people, I am living proof of this as my son was the victim.

Ar least once a week I get pulled over so police can check my drivers license and vehicle registration because we have so much crime in Durban, should I shout and scream about this? Please stop with the racist rhetoric, its getting lame! These cops where doing their job, no point in getting aggressive. If we had no crime we wouldnt have to endure this all the time, thank our government who have made crime the most rewarding career in this country! Focus your energy on making sure you vote with your head next year.

Let's say yes is true this guys looked suspicious, what are the procudures when you approach a suspicious looking person, why do you man-handle a pragnant lady, If this guys were white were they going to be subjected to the same treatment (I do not think so). It's a fact most crimes are committed by Africans & for your information I've being, several times, pulled off by police officers (African & white) for looking suspicious and most of time when I was pulled-off by a white cop it feels like you are already a criminal and that at times makes me become too agressive and telling this to a white man is like something he would not understand (whether intentional or not). Therefor my advice to my fellow white countrymen is any treatment that Africans are subjected to that we feel had that African be a white s/he would not have recieved the same treatment, that will always in our eyes be a racist act because we are leaving in a country were there is so much racism and the perpetrators are saying there is no such (in denail intentionally).

First I dont condone the inappropriate handling of a pregnant woman. But come on. As a coloured Iam suspicious of anyone walking behind me. The police must and are obligated to stop anyone looking suspicious. If you dont look the part or something is off then call the cops. We need to be protected from all these criminals and further messures need to be put in place. We should just play along with what the police are doing in trying to protect us!!!!

Haven't seen a 380i either, must be a new model or something:)

Where does it say the police officer was white or black? Also, why do we have to turn this into a race issue, I see it as an attitude issue. Possibly a stressed policeman issue. But white people watching black people househunting and phoning their white cop buddies to assault a pregnant woman because they don't want them living in their area? Seriously... think about it...
