The cops may not have used "logic or common sense," says police commissioner after notorious "standing still" arrests.
No shortage of absurdities in the pursuit of evildoer beachgoers during these past few weeks of closed beaches.
A real quick recap:
The season opened on April 3 in the US with a high-stakes game of cat and mouse at Malibu when a SUP pilot took on the amphibious division of the local sheriffs. The springsuit-clad man was led, in chains, up the famous beach, now home to television actress Meghan Markle and her former royal husband, the now neutered and gunless, Haz.
It snowballed, real quick.
Arrests, fines, helicopters with armed cops inside monstering surfers from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean.
A few days ago in South Africa, in pretty little Muizenberg in Cape Town, surfers were arrested during a #backinthewater protest, although one shredder did humiliate the local cops by escaping on a pushbike.
Two parents, Liam Bulgen and his fiancé Tereza Cervinkova, chased their kid after she’d run onto the beach. The family was arrested, thrown into a police van and taken to Muizenberg police station and charged with, shee-it, what’s the crime again?
Standing still?
Bulgen wasn’t real thrilled about the arrest, especially since the the arresting officers and the staff who charged him and his woman for being lockdown runners hadn’t worn masks and gloves etc.
Now, it can be revealed, that the police station they’d been charged at has been closed after a staff member tested positive for COVID-19.
The joint is being decontaminated right now and Provincial police commissioner Lieutenant General Yolisa Matakata said his cops may not have used “logic or common sense” when they made the arrest.
A common thread, yes?

Hey Leemore Goat, what up?
Just remember this later folks.
This is what a leftist dictatorship looks like. Think about that when you vote!
Does the modern surfer wear army green birkenstocks? Can confirm I saw him prancing around a local cafe in said birks and his order involved a coffee with oat milk, which made me realise modern surfer doesn’t consume cow milk does he?
Seems to me the cops utilised modern surfer commonsense when making the arrest
Us uncivilized brutes, the colonial bastards we are can’t help ourselves Twillsy. Please note, I never gave a crap about the royalz until I watched “The Crown”. Outstanding piece of stately propaganda that it is.
On behalf of lions everywhere, good riddance Roy!!
“the now neutered and gunless, Haz.” Brilliant Derek. Hazza should never have married that hoochie.
