When the South African police raided the black township in "Cry Freedom" I was slightly confused at first. It seemed unnecessary for the police to invade a harmless township. The police did not enter the area for a specific crime, they just entered and arrested whoever they could get their hands on. This seemed very illegal to me. First of all law enforcement can not just enter where they please. Second of all they can not just hit who ever they please with batons. That is cruel and unusual. The whole operation seemed like it had no purpose.
The whole thing seemed like some sort of war scenario where a major power is attempting to wipe out a minor power. This situation seems fairly similar to the one in Syria. The government is hurting it's own people. Granted in Syria more people are killed but there is still injustice.
