WATCH: White man slaps black cop for giving him traffic fine
The slapped cop only picked up his hat and watched as the two men argued with his colleague.
.
Twitter went into uproar on Sunday afternoon after a video of two white men arguing their way out of a traffic fine surfaced.
The video, which was retweeted by EFF national spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, shows two white men who were driving a white Ford bakkie arguing with two black traffic cops.
It seems the men were pulled over by the cops, with one of them issuing a traffic fine, at which point one of the men lost his cool and started slapping the male officer, dropping his hat as a result.
Instead of fighting back, the officer picked up his hat and stood there, watching the two men continue arguing with his colleague.
The incident happened in Potchefstroom on Friday afternoon, according to Twitter user @Ivypee_SA, who initially shared the video.
The video outraged most, with Ndlozi saying the country needed to move from just taking videos to “physically” stopping violence against black people.
“How can this even be when the black cop has a gun?” he asked.
Though some condemned the man’s actions, calling him “a white racist” using his “privilege” to assault a cop, some took his side, saying they had been victims of traffic cops before.
“He clearly met his match! I’m a victim of black officers daily,” said one user.
