The officers, after losing their suspect, allegedly found another man on the street who they detained in his place. They did not inform anyone of what had happened.

Probably figured that they all look alike anyway.

This news clearly indicates that the Cape Town cops are being trained at the FBI Academy...

One supposes that those CT cops are also experts at shooting dogs, pregnant women, and people in wheelchairs...

South Africa is a nation that is completely governed by Critical Race Theory.

How could anyone imagine that there would be unfortunate consequences if you take a civilized country and hand it over to a herd of illiterate guest workers with no connection to the land or the nation?

Reminds me of something I read years ago, supposedly true. A guy was driving a short bus of patients at a mental hospital to and fro. On the way back, he stopped to get something to eat. He went in and when he came back out some unspecified time later, the bus was empty. His passengers were nowhere to be seen.

His remedy was to drive to a bus stop, pick up the right number of assumed normal people and drive to the asylum. He left the bus at the gate to be driven inside by another person, remarking that the “patients” were very agitated. He then split.

It took several days before it was established that the passengers actually were sane and didn’t belong at the asylum, as they had been saying all along. I guess a lot of crazy people maintain that they’re perfectly sane.

It came across much more believably when I originally read it, but this is an accurate gist.

Thin blue line. Back the badge. He wouldn’t have been arrested if he wasn’t guilty. The cops had justifiable suspicion.

Yup.

“ Pretty much what the FBI is doing here.”

Absolutely Not! Our glorious incorruptible FBI would never do such a horribly illegal act on a innocent citizen! Unfortunately however had he been jailed by our FBI he would have been found dead in his cell when the detective arrived the next morning, hanging by the neck with a typed suicide note pinned to his shirt admitting guilt.

“I cannot believe that members of our South African Police Service (SAPS) would just arrest an innocent person because the actual suspect in the case managed to get away.”

On the other hand, this is exactly the sort of thing I would imagine some South African police organization called SAPS would do.
