Morning Star.png Police Protest against Cop-Killing The Morning Star, London, 19 November 2015 South African police began a rolling campaign of protests against the murders of officers yesterday. With South African Police Service officers dying in the line of duty on a weekly basis, police and prison officers' union POPCRU staged a protest march in Gauteng province. "An attack on the police is an attack on society," the union said in a statement. A national protest is planned for tomorrow and a campaign of lunch-hour pickets is under way. Teachers' union SADTU, which like POPCRU is affiliated to the COSATU union federation, lent its support to the demonstrations, decrying the "media populism" which calls for a response to violent crime but condemns officers who have been forced to shoot criminals. Last week, bail was denied to four police from Krugersdorp, west of Johannesburg, who have been charged over the killing of an armed robbery suspect who had shot at them.
