So let's say you're out on strike. While you're out on the picket line, a group of your union brothers and sisters gets a lil rowdy, and starts throwing rocks at the cops. The cops open fire with lethal force (as they do) and kill a bunch of the picket line. Turn the page.
You're charged with the murder of those other picketers. The ones the cops shot. Because the picketers were throwing rocks. While you were chanting slogans.
No folks, that's not a plot hole. That's just the gut reaction of the South African government when police opened fire on a group of miners refusing to go back to work. Interestingly enough, the law forming the basis for this decision was designed by the apartheid-era government in order to keep the black population down.
Consistency. It's a myth.
But apparently prosecutors figured out this isn't the wisest move, and "provisionally dropped charges."
