Once a thief always a thief. Can put whatever uniform you want to on him but the leopard cannot change it's spots.

Stupidity or arrogance in filling up before?

Well look at the petrol price. The only fair conclusion is that cops need to be paid more!!

Whatever happened to proper vetting procedures for certain job categories? These police officers are supposed to have a good moral compass and choose what is right, fair and just from any situation in order to apply the law fairly to the SA citizens that depends on them.

Yeah. Like the 80's, when we had officers like Andre Stander.

Just more proof of the idiots they allow into the SAPS and we hear too often the criminals are members of a Policing Department.

Police are human. They've always been like this.

Aside from the thieving am I the only one miffed we had such a moron in the police to begin with?

Seriously, not refueling the getaway car before a crime? Really?

For a moment I thought you were serious.

I am. Police officers were never angels you'd like to believe they were. They're worse now that they've had disjointed leadership (and perhaps an equally poor vetting process) in the past 10 years but they were never angels.

Like any police department in the world. Crap will always fall (squeeze) through the cracks.

I'll say. I once had one pour two shots of a very fine single malt - Glenmorangie, and then top it up with pepsi...
