One person on social media notes that besides abusing civilians and assaulting them the police do not do enough in Mzansi. This comes a video of an officer assaulting a man in Bentley and threatening to shoot him went viral. This was a disturbing video which really affected the trust of many towards the police.
The alarming increase in Car Hijacking by people wearing police uniform is quite devastating. Where do these criminals get the uniforms in the first place? At this rate it will take time for civilians to fully trust and support the police when every time they are being found wanting.
