Just the other day a video emerged of a cop being shot in South Africa – and now, there’s another one. And it’s actually quite sickening.

During a routine patrol, a police vehicle happened to meet in the middle of the street with the car of a group of guys who had just been involved in a robbery at a local Edgars in Mooinooi, North West. When the driver of the police vehicle got out to confront the guys, he was shot in the head. Just like that. Captain Paul Ramaloko reported the incident as unfortunate:

The officers were on a routine patrol, then unfortunately this group of guys had just stolen money and cellphones at an Edgars store.

The two cars met head-on and the officer, who was in the driver’s seat, got out of his car. Just as he stepped out, one of the robbers in the getaway car shot him once in the head.

But what is a bit confusing is that while the officer lay dead, and the group of men who had shot him escaped in their vehicle, the patrol vehicle did a U-turn and drove away. What even?
