We were just robbed at gunpoint in Khayelitsha after doing a crossing. Now my colleague and I have to deal with an inept police officer telling us we can’t open the case at this station (a 2 min drive from where it happened) because it’s not in their jurisdiction WTF

And when I told this officer but it happened around the corner from this station, how can we not open a case here…he tells us to “not be on top of him” 🙄 I told him we’re both traumatised & just want this sorted so he said “I’m also traumatised!” MY BRU 🙄
