Two South African Police were on patrol,
(In the strong days of passbooks, etc)
and they came across a black boy of around
12. He was out of his area, and one of the
policemen urged him to get home asap.

He started running, and the second policeman
took out his bazooka and shot the black boy
in the back.

The first one said:
"Why did you do that?"

The second one replied:
"I know where he lives, and he would never have
been able to get there before curfew"
