WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

A Heathfield Metro Police officer appeared in the Wynberg magistrate’s court on Wednesday on charges of assault and pointing a firearm at a relative.
Police spokesperson Billy Jones said Leon Walpole, 40, was arrested by Steenberg police at his workplace, the Paul Sauer building on the Foreshore, at around midday on Tuesday.
Jones said the charges related to an incident in the early hours of Tuesday morning at his home. Walpole allegedly assaulted and pointed his service pistol at “a very close family member”.
The police were not at liberty to provide the particulars.
Jones said detectives seized the firearm for investigation purposes.
Walpole was released on R500 bail and is due to make his second appearance on May 8.
Metro Police spokesperson Nowellen Petersen confirmed that the officer was arrested at the department’s headquarters on Tuesday. “At this stage the (Metro police) member has not been suspended,” he said.
Petersen would not disclose whether an internal investigation would be conducted.
This case follows an incident involving a Metro Police officer charged with assault, but in this case an internal investigation is underway.
Metro Police investigators are also trying to determine whether the officer assaulted a Sea Point resident Deirdre O’Neill, who claims she was beaten after she hesitated before cleaning up after her daughter’s Jack Russell puppy had defecated in public.
The officer is back on duty.
