"Deadly force"

South African National Police Commissioner, Bheki Cele speaks at an event in Primedia's building in Sandton, Johannesburg.There has been a controversy surrounding some statements from Bheki Cele recently, but generally I agree with him that the only way to deal with crime is with a strong hand, and a criminal pointing a firearm at the police (or anybody) must die in a hail of bullets. The problem lies with some of the police members, I'm not sure that they will all use "deadly force" at appropriate times, as has been demonstrated a few times recently when innocent civilians were killed by trigger happy cops.
