Man bound to a vehicle and dragged in street by South African Police

South Africa suspended 8 police officers on Friday  Feb 28,2013 after the death of a man they had bound to a vehicle and dragged through a busy street in a videotaped incident that has further blackened the reputation of the police. Mido Macia, a 27-year-old taxi driver from Mozambique, was found dead in detention with signs of head injuries and internal bleeding, according to an initial post-mortem report released by South Africa’s police watchdog

Police told media they had detained Macia after he parked illegally, creating a traffic jam, and then resisted arrest.

President Jacob Zuma and opposition politicians have condemned the incident, caught on video on Tuesday and broadcast nationwide on Thursday Feb 27,2013
