Well, Nic isn’t that the point? From what’s been described there hasn’t been an equal level of treatment, the general public are being arrested, for minor crimes, which don’t even warrant them, while taxi drivers are let off scot free for the same or even worse offences. I don’t think people have any problem with the fact that the driver got punished for her wrong doing, but the treatment she received and the blatant disregard for the law shown by the metro police is something to be worried about. Perhaps your right, if this story was raised by a taxi driver, then people wouldn’t care at all, but that doesn’t mean it is still right, often people will only be called to action when a problem strikes close to home. The thing is if this sort of brutality is being implemented on a daily basis, even if it is happening to hardened convicted criminals, it is still wrong, and it needs to be sorted out, hopefully now people will be prepared to take action, what that action is though i don’t know…
