Eretz Yisrael Time

Everyone knows that police violence is ignored by the establishment in Israel. Hell, police collusion (at the highest levels) with organized crime is ignored by the establishment in Israel.

Nearly a year ago, the policeman in the picture below strangled a non-violent settler (something that happened a lot) during disengagement. This time someone happened to snap a photo of the event. After a lot of work by the victim and settler support groups, nearly a year later an indictment has been filed against this policeman (something that would never have happened without that accidental photograph).

The joke in Israel is that policemen have two possible career paths in their lives – as criminals or as cops. Sometimes though, it seems they don’t even have to choose one over the other.

Seriously, are you saying that that resulted in someone's death?

So as long as it doesn't result in death it's okay for a Thug In Uniform to physically assault a citizen?! I would ask, "What've you been smokin'?", but given your nickname, I guess the question is extraneous.
