lego 44,165 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Off-duty Border Police officers in civilian clothes savagely assaulted an Arab supermarket worker in central Tel Aviv on Sunday after he refused to identify himself because he didn't know who they were, according to eyewitnesses. The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon at the Super Yoda supermarket on Ibn Gabirol Street, opposite the Tel Aviv municipality. The worker, an Israeli Arab, had gone outside to dispose of garbage when one of the policemen, who was dressed in shorts, demanded that he identify himself. When the worker asked by what authority he was being asked to identify himself, the policeman began hitting him, witnesses said. The blows were murderous, from the guy and from one of his friends. I've never seen anything like it. Teeth were flying through the air. The Arab was torn apart," Erez Krispin, an eyewitness, wrote in a Facebook post that has since turned viral. An old lady asked the assailants why they were beating the Arab, Krispin continued, "and they shouted at her, '**** off from here before we finish you off as well.' That, too, was in front of witnesses." "Then police arrived and joined the two hooligans in beating him… I really don't know if the Arab is still living. They pushed him into a police van, not an ambulance, and disappeared. It later turned that the two were Border Policemen (who didn't identify themselves, of course.)" "He was beaten only because he's a Muslim," Super Yoda owner Kobi Cohen told Walla News. "His only crime was that he's not Jewish." Cohen said that the original assailants were joined by plainclothes policemen and that there were as many as 10 people beating the worker. The incident occurred in a crowded area in front of supermarket customers and many onlookers. After the beating, the worker was taken to Tel Aviv division police headquarters. http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.720952?v=D1225DA15D0FDD57731295515CA842B1 FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

River 127,317 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Typical behavior of Tel-Aviv police when someone is refusing to identify himself (which by the law you have the right to refuse), yes, the fact that he's Arabic had an extra reason to beat him, but the Tel-Aviv police is beating anyone even woman and kids and many times they attacked transgenders. there are too many stories, videos and complains about them. Anyway, I'm happy to see that this time the Israelis supported the Arabic guy and not the police. The police in Israel is the same as the police in USA, they use their power in a bad way...

bionic 50,111 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Just now, Love Drought said: Murderous blows? And it also says that he was taken to the police station, but he is still there? I just interpreted that as violent/intention to kill. Before the police station sentence he does say that he doesn't know whether the victim is alive or not.
