Shocking!
Obviously the ranger expected the reaction, why else take it on video
I have been wondering about the video......

This afternoon on the radio ,the whole section is removed from that area and back to home base and there is an official investigation.
One thing I know for sure , the importance of inter departmental cooperation. Luckily there is an ex army officer(Jooste) in command of this job and he will not tolerate incidents like this.i think there is one soldier with big problems and that is not soccer problems.

One has to be savvy in instances like this, Lis...I think the incident had been ongoing for a while, as the report says the ranger was addressing his own staff when the soldier butted in. It is entirely normal to then obtain evidence in this way!

Lessons learn ,.......these day's if you are in a "situation" record it for future use.The other thing, get to the police station and be the first to lay a complaint or open a case.

BTW..be sure you are preferably the one with a gun! Don't do it if the other one is armed!
Depending on how drunk they are, in my experience, they will try and grab the phone/camera!
