A three year old boy was killed by a speeding cop in South Africa on Monday evening. According to reports, the boy had been walking with friends when he decided not to go further without adults. So he stood on the side of the road and waited for his friends to return. A speeding police van struck the little boy, leaving him dead.
Yaphi-Nowawa, the boy’s father said that he actually heard the crash that killed his son while he was driving home from work. He heard squealing tires and a “big bang”. A witness stated that he didn’t even believe that the cop tried to swerve and avoid hitting the child since the middle of his bumper was bent, and not the side. He stated that it was the worst thing he had ever seen, seeing the child’s skull split open revealing his brains. Paramedics arrived and pronounced the boy dead.
This was the third case involving a police vehicle killing a person in South Africa this year! And it’s only January. Seems that our country isn’t the only one that needs to tighten it’s reigns on cops who believe they are above the law. I wonder what the huge emergency was that the cop was rushing to…. And if it was really worth losing a child’s life over.
