With many community leaders and government officials calling for tough handling of the looters by the law enforcement agencies, a member of South African police is a laughing stock on social media.
The policeman is struggling to open the vehicle after arresting a suspect, but as he opens the transit door, the suspect escaped. The video clip has found its way to the internet courtesy of @MandyWiener through Twitter.

Video of cops helping looters escape during the protest: “this country is a joke”
Still focusing on looting, Briefly News reported that as the looting of local businesses becomes increasingly more prevalent across the country, it's natural for South Africans to want a little reassurance from our police force.
However, one video of what seems to be a police officer helping looters escape a local shop after vandalising it definitely has Mzansi troubled.
Heading online, @_Tshwarelo04 shared the clip. "SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE helping criminals escape from the police, this country is a joke," he captioned the incriminating video.
