@plus27daily: Tensions escalated during Tuesday’s demonstration in Durban when March and March Movement leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma reacted to police officers drawing their firearms during a confrontation with unarmed marchers. Police officers formed two lines, with one group moving to push demonstrators back while a second line of armed officers stood behind them, apparently positioned to respond if anyone breached the first line. The sight of firearms being drawn appeared to intensify the confrontation, as marchers faced a police formation designed to prevent them from advancing. The incident raises questions about crowd-control tactics, the use of firearms during public demonstrations and the need to prevent confrontations from escalating into violence.
