Durban cop in hot water for hot klaps
DURBAN - More incidents of men and women in blue assaulting civilians are emerging.
A Durban police officer is in hot water after he was caught on camera slapping a man in Durban. The video has since gone viral on social media.
The KZN Police Commissioner has ordered a probe into the incident. Nhalnhla Mkhwanazi also wants immediate disciplinary action to be taken.
He says this type of behaviour is reversing the gains of hard-working officers. He says such unprofessional conduct is tainting the police's image and plummeting public trust in the service.
The incident comes just weeks after a female cop was captured slapping a civilian at an Ekurhuleni station.
She's also facing disciplinary action.
