South African Police More Lethal Than US Cops
Black Agenda Radio with Margaret Kimberley and Glen Ford

Margaret Kimberley · South African Police More Lethal Than US Cops

“South African police kill between two and three times as many people as US police do, per capita,” said Paul Clarke, a doctoral candidate in African and American Studies who has done extensive research on labor, policing and privatization in South Africa. However, “it’s difficult to tell” if the Black majority regime kills more of its citizens than its apartheid predecessor, “because so many killings by police were covered up” during white rule, said Clarke. South Africa is also the biggest incarcerator on the continent.
