Johan Burger, a senior researcher at the Crime and Justice Programme of the Institute for Security Studies says tougher laws against cop killers will do little to protect the country’s police.

This follows the increase in police killings in the last few months.

Burger says National Police Commissioner Bheki Cele, who made the call for tougher laws this weekend, looks set on addressing the problem of police killings after they have already occurred.

Burger maintains that this is the wrong approach.
