Video of Schoolgirls Helping Drunk SA Police Officer Armed and in Uniform Sparks Public Outrage Over Conduct

• Footage of an intoxicated police officer in uniform with a firearm at his side was shared on social media recently and Mzansi is outraged at his unprofessional conduct
• The video shows the cop struggling to balance and stand before he falls and is helped up by a schoolgirl, also dressed in school uniform
• The incident involving the armed law enforcement official left many Saffas disappointed and disgusted at the clearly illegal conduct

A video of an intoxicated, armed cop spotted in public as a group of schoolgirls try to help him up is doing the rounds on social media and sparked public outrage among Mzansi peeps.

The clip was shared on Facebook by SA Long-distance Truckers recently and sees the law enforcement officer trying to balance against a pole before he eventually falls to the ground. A teen approaches the cop and tries to help him up. The footage, presumably taken by another schoolgirl, also reveals that the man had his firearm on him at the time.

“And that, ladies and gentlemen, is supposed to be the man keeping us safe… He is so drunk he can't stand,” the post was captioned.

Online users responded with comments expressing their disapproval of the incident as well as their disappointment at how the officer brought the country’s law enforcement into disrepute.

Check out some of their reactions to the video:

Kim Pansegrauw said:

“Perfect timing! Our Police Minister announced just yesterday that they have everything under control and SA is not under attack! Of course not! We are so calm and at peace that even our police don't need to be vigilant!! Well done.”

Johan Mynhardt commented:

“So why do we have a Minister of Police??? This is under his watch, and he should be fired. What an utter disgrace.”
