South African youngsters couldn’t stand the officer’s speech and told him they were not supposed to be protesting in the first place. Many of them cut him off and demanded justice for the young victim.

The cop urged the youngsters before him to listen to his speech and said:

“You have done good work by coming to the right place to voice your grievances. I have seen the story in the media with regard to the incident. Here at the Constitutional Court, which is the arm of the state responsible for sorting out issues like that, it will be taken care of. South Africa has good laws in place.”

The crowd roared as the cop spoke, demanding justice while he danced around the subject.
