right and what has that got to do with the dead?

have a look at this vid (if sqeemish dont watch)









two police had been murdered by the miners the day before, and then they charge at the police? what do they exect? should also be noted that machette's and guns were found on there bodies.

Mate of mine is south african and the press are makign there usual **** poor job of reporting and makign the police out to be thugs and murders.

As usal theres two sides to every story, not just what the police report.

I'm pretty sure you can shot further and faster with a machine gun over a machete
