        Great to see police and the minister calling out the courts. Sentencing in this country is a joke.

        The overuse of the word allegedly is really starting to piss me off, especially when CCTV shows actual events.

        Throw him in jail, rewarding him for bad behaviour and not seeing the severe consequences for his actions, need I say more. Tomorrow he will commit another crime, laws to soft, producing adults who think they can get away with murder!

        Would the police minister be just as annoyed if he kicked a member of the public in the head, I doubt it !

        Should politicians be giving political commentary on court decisions.? Don`t we have separation of political and legal powers in our constitution.?
