We're the Only Ones Possessive Enough

A traffic officer was arrested after two people were shot and wounded in Volksrust in a dispute over a girlfriend, Mpumalanga police said on Monday...

[T]he gun used in the incident was the officer's service pistol.

Thank goodness they were only wounded. It's a good thing for them they weren't armed and trying to defend themselves, because The Mail & Guardian tells us:

Minister of Safety and Security Charles Nqakula said in an interview with the South African Broadcasting Corporation that anyone who points a gun at a police officer will be killed.

That's 'cause they're The Only Ones, and they're as possessive of power as they are of their partners--whether that attention is wanted or not.
