"Disrespect," the clip was captioned by a concerned South African woman.
A number of people headed online to voice their disapproval of the community members' disrespect.
Freddy Aaron said:
"Yes, well. If the men do their jobs, communities have a problem... So yes, what do we want? Police stay in the soup, no one is prepared to fight with police crime."
Agnes Olifant said:
"Tomorrow, the same community will need the police's help... pure disrespect."
Corrie Engelbrecht said:
"I wonder what 'stop crime' stands for on that police officer's car, and I support the humility that police officer has, that fear, he has a job to do."
Meanwhile, in positive news, 2 local cops get lauded for going the extra mile
Briefly News also reported that two incredible police officers are being celebrated for their immense selflessness. The members of Sydenham SAPS worked tirelessly on their rest days to ensure that two abandoned babies were healthy and taken to a place of safety where they could receive the love and attention they need.
The babies, one six days old and the other 28 days old, were abandoned during the members' shift and they refused to rest until they were satisfied that the infants were taken care of. Mzansi social media users took to complimenting the cops for their selfless work.
Mara Verwey said:
"So glad the precious babies are cared for. If only I could hug them. The Lord will provide for them and will get the best."
