VIDEO: Israeli Cop Beats Civilian Without Justification


mish[VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE]

A policeman is caught on video while beating and pepper spraying a civilian sentry at the gate of the Shomron community of Michmas.

The guard questioned why he is compelled to open the electric gate for the police vehicle on Shabbos, which appears to have resulted in the policeman losing it and then assaulting the civilian guard and spraying him with pepper spray. As the policeman beats the civilian he states the civilian is assaulting him, seemingly trying to justify his violent response.

Ultimately, a second person, who videoed the brutal beating was arrested too for threatening the policeman verbally, that he will “finish him” by filing the appropriate complaints with the Justice Ministry police investigations unit.

Despite the cop’s brutality, they managed to preserve and release the video that says it all.

  1. Really scary!
    How is it that the cop doesn’t have to answrr to anyone?
    It reminds me of Rodney King in L.A. only this is ‘acheinu’ – a shomer Shabbos.

  2. Put this piece of dung into an IDF uniform and sent him to the front lines fighting ISIS! They’ll know what to do with him.

  3. This is newsworthy? They do it all the time. Its routine that they bash anyone who “disses them” be they Palestinians, Hareidim or Settlers. Indeed police in many cultures act like that (just ask some of our African American neighbors). We should by proud over the Israeli police’s lack of discrimination (in both meaning of the words).

    In a simpler time, in America, people elected the local policeman (in the US, that’s what most sheriffs were), and if he wasn’t nice to you, he wouldn’t get your vote when he ran for reelection. Somehow relying on “hue and cry” and a “Posse comitatus” raised by the neighbor elected as Sheriff just wouldn’t work these day (well, it would work within the frum community, except that we have to deal with the rest of Olam ha-Zeh, which gets messy).
