"Officer lashes out after mishearing complainant."
Another resident has come forward with cellphone footage of a Roodepoort Police Station officer who become verbally abusive when she tried to lay an assault charge.
According to the Roodepoort Record, even though the incident happened on 20 June, the complainant decided to release the video in the light of another one the Record published recently. She, her brother and sister-in-law went to the station at about 11.15pm to report an assault. “When we arrived the police members were standing around chatting and no one seemed interested in helping us.”
“When she finally turned to her brother to tell him she would rather abort her attempt to lay a charge, she said to him, “This is a useless case”. But, she alleged, “One of the officers then accused me of calling him useless and a shouting match ensued”. At one stage he calls her mother “useless” and as he walks away says “you are f***ing useless”, said the Roodepoort Record.
