Agggg shame now they want to cry wolf when they want to stand high all mighty behind the badge

They are paid and trained to be in the line of fire, we as the public are not. What about our safety

That’s encouraging to us the public.

SAPoliceService moan about their safety yet they deny us firearm licenses on the basis of idiotic reasons. So what about us? MYANC Our_DA ParliamentofRSA ANCParliament EFFSouthAfrica VFPlus are the police not paid for this risk? But Cele stopped their annual training mos

They are busy with Churches, instead of going for the really criminal.

You remember Malema's statement? Threatening police, saying he will deal with them one by one... 🤔

SA is defining itself in so many violent ways. SAPoliceService thats how we feel when xenophobia is at peak. You can’t sleep at night. How does it feel when fellow brothers feel police are abathakati, kill on site.

If police officers are not safe then who will protect the ordinary citizens?

No wander so many people are being arrested for not wearing there mask as it's safe chasing down soft targets this is BS and the real criminals are laughing at them . If you not happy in a job get anothere job or stop being childish and do your job

We’ve heard these concerns over and over...... give them the powers to use force required on these criminals acting against them. Shoot first and ask questions later. In time, attitudes will change. Govt with their Human Rights attitude make policing ineffective.

I was worried when I wanted to invest but, I thank God I have invested with the right account manager Ericwalker01 I got my my money back with profits just as he said, I want everyone who See's this to start investing with Ericwalker01 now

Lol...if police are not safe why are they getting a salary to keep the people safe if they can't even keep themself safe?

What?! A police station without electricity for 3 years. 🙆🏾‍♂️

They sell each other,which means something is wrong in that department... Instead of helping to arrest the tsotsi,they help tsotsis with all the information about who's investigating them. This is the other reason why people are afraid to report crimes in the area.

So now who protects them from criminals? 😂😂😂😂😂

The general population is not safe, we have all types of criminals from all over the world who are here undocumented, that's why murder conviction rate is only 10%

They are part of the problem... some of them sold their soul's to the criminals.. The same criminals are killing their members.

Part2 Start the organized crime and terror bill: You can be detained for no reason beside the fact that you have affiliation or have prior records.

The citizens of this country have been living in fear for over 20 years now being mugged, murdered and raped ! Welcome to our world ! Now do your job !!!!

I have the solution: 1. Gang related or organized crime :seize all assets,they need money. STOP the Chinese from bringing drugs in and cut off the supply. 2.Rape and armed robbery life in prison of DPenalty. 3.Reduce gov spend on salaries cars help the poor raise the min wage.

F*** that, they allowed criminals to disrespect them.
