The Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union condemn the recent spate of police killings that have taken place over the last month.

They warn the public that police will use any necessary means possible when confronted with dangerous criminals.

POPCRU is calling on police management across the country to ensure the police are properly armed and well-resourced.

The union Spokesperson Richard Mamabolo said “The police force should obviously react defensively towards such a nature of crimes, another thing we would like to emphasize on, is that we need to ensure that we find a way in which communities can better work with the police.”

He also reported that police have been able to arrest a lot of criminals and a lot of guns have been apprehended since then.
