PHOTOS: Hundreds gather to march against police killings
About 100 Policemen and women on Wednesday gathered at the Mary Fitzgerald Square ahead of a march against the killing of their colleagues.
Police and Prison Civil Rights Union spokesperson Richard Mamabolo said “when police don’t do anything fingers are pointed at them, but when they do something they are blamed for it.”
The police are saying they would like more support from the government and communities to do their jobs.
POPCRU is expecting around 2000 marchers to take part today.
