Honest metro cops hand over money bag dropped on busy Joburg road

[schumi]

The Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) employs some of the most upstanding members of society - at least if a recent incident is anything to go by.

On Tuesday, two of these officials came across a money bag lying in the middle of the road.

According to JMPD chief David Tembe, the officers were patrolling the Roodepoort area when they found the bag on the corner of Ontdekkers and Christiaan de Wet Roads.

their boss must have been nearby when they found the bag of money,
otherwise, they might have just denied a bag of money ever existed, and brought a new BMW with the money.

Or they were honest? Like you and me?

Is it JMPD good news week?

Many would probably turn it in, especially those with a lot to lose.

Well done JMPD.

100% possible, but seeing so many bad apples in the JMPD, makes me think somehow they dont exist.
glass half empty kind of thinking, but perhaps justified when you see the sxit Taxis get away with impunity.

Truth is you have probably not dealt with enough JMPD officers to come to a conclusion that the majority are bad apples.

maybe so, but when you see them hiding behind bushes, while taxis block intersections,
and stopping good looking women to chat them up, while a taxi roars past sideways

maybe I am justified in saying the JMPD consists of bad apples.

I can never be this good of a person...sorry....

This bag did not just fall out of a truck. This was a slip up clearly....
Also, the cops must have been in full view of a few folk who saw this...

You are entitled to have an opinion. You will need to back up your assertion with some sort of evidence. Then, we can argue if it is justified or not. Otherwise, it is just an EFF type of generalization - all wmc, all indians, blah..blah.

Yup...reminds me of mybb members...
only here to be miserable.

To see all Metro cops as bad is a misguided opinion really...

To say "All men are dogs"...would mean that you should never have dated "All Men"....naughty of you lol

the exception rather than the rule, unfortunately.

have you been to the police HQ and seen who guards the police HQ?
PRIVATE security, that costs a bomb...

so if the police cant guard themselves, then who is to trust them to do the RIGHT thing and return a bag of money.

Im not saying ALL Cops are corrupt, Heavens no, its just that the majority are poorly trained,
even poorly equipped, and outmatched by the criminals that have free reign over the streets.

so yes, Im amazed they even returned a bag of money, Id have thought they brought the entire Department KFC
and called it a day, and if anybody asks just say they won at the horse races or something.
