An Ekurhuleni metro police department (EMPD) officer is in hot water after allegedly being found "drunk" in uniform with his gun "falling off" at noon on Tuesday.

The officer was captured on video, cigarette in hand, walking with the weapon dangling in its holster, close to a branded EMPD vehicle in Springs.

A man filming instructs him to give his firearm to a female officer to avoid any "accidents".

The most shocking part about this story is if he's dismissed or jailed.

That video looks bad. Why do South Africans put up with this? Next time vote better.

The same way other countries do... A police officer is not a person you vote for... And we are not the only country that has had to deal with drunk officers on duty, much to your dismay of course.

That is true. However, in other countries, he would face consequences to his actions. In SA, he now qualifies for a promotion.

Yip, going to be the police commissioner next.

You two ladies need to share with me whatever drug you are using, I would also like to be on that high at least once in my life.

So you think he will be fired? Disciplined? Reprimanded? Treated the same way an ordinary citizen would have been?

He should get a fair hearing like would've happened at any other company. Not the same thing as being made commisioner now is it?

Won't be fired but will likely be forced to join AA and if he skips AA then he'll be fired.
