Some slammed the officers saying it was unprofessional, but most praised them for being ‘human’.
‘Good on them they were humble, and it shows that they are only human too. Well done, these are the kind of cops we need in society today,’ one man said.
‘This is fantastic on their part. Real cops,’ another supporter said.
‘Police are supposed to work with the people and for the people, not against the people. This video makes me so happy. God bless our Australian Police forces for their hard work.’
