Mamosadi's vehicle is riddled with six bullet holes at the back, two more on the right passenger door. Three of his car tyres had also been shot during the chase.
"When I asked them why they were assaulting me, they said they should have arrested me at the roadblock," he said."I am traumatised. I am scared of police officers. Whenever I see an officer I start shaking out of fear because of my experience."
"The officers should have approached the civilian with restraint and care because he had already been stopped at a roadblock earlier. He said according to section 49 of the Criminal Procedure Act, which deals with the use of force, an officer would need to prove that an individual had committed an offence and would have posed a serious threat to someone else."The type of police vehicle they used from the roadblock would have needed to be marked because they can't believe that someone would stop their vehicle in good faith.
