Social media users took to the internet to react to the dramatic video
@mdu1mbatha:
"Why would cops fire so many bullets in public?
What's the point of recovering that car when it has 100 bullet holes.
Cant, they find a less dangerous tactic to stop the car."
@BlackWizSA:
"The real ones will know that the hijacker was returning the Fortuner back to Toyota for service. He was nearly there."
@AthiBam3:
"The right to life takes priority over all other rights in our constitution, and yes, even for hardened criminals.
SAPS only uses deadly and brute force only if there's a life threatening situation. Remember IPID is there to check their conduct, hence they are trained."
@BobMajova:
"I like it where they just moered first, reading him his rights later. Well done SAPS Western Cape. But with SAPS KZN we would be counting dead bodies."
