analysis: The text describes a series of violent incidents between the police and protesters in South Africa, specifically targeting students and civilians. The events are marked by police brutality, with reports of excessive force, killings, and wounding of innocent people. The text highlights the lack of accountability and investigations into these incidents, with the President refusing to institute inquiries. The focus is on the human rights violations and the oppressive nature of the police force.
