"Kill The Bastards"

An interesting post at A Tangled Web about the reported pep talk to the SA police on how to deal with criminals given by South Africa's deputy security minister, Susan Shabangu.

"You must kill the bastards if they threaten you or the community. I want to assure the police station commissioners and policemen and women that they have permission to kill these criminals. You must not worry about the regulations. That is my responsibility. Your responsibility is to serve and protect. I won’t tolerate any pathetic excuses for you not being able to deal with crime. You have been given guns, now use them. I want no warning shots. You have one shot and it must be a kill shot."

Somewhat different to the PC attitude of our own PCs.
