"Disrespecting our police is like disrespecting our own laws."

"Pity because currently, we don't even have a law to disrespect unless if by law you mean the one that only applies to us ordinary citizens and not politicians and the very same police."

@AndileXulu_ said:

"There's no fighting back here. They're fighting for alcohol. There's nothing to be proud about that."
