This is how the Yassam police treat their frustrated teenage citizens? Is this what they teach in training? What a bunch of low life filthy beasts! Now of course there won’t be any “investigation” into this officer’s behavior. After all, these kids were probably those right wing Kahananiks who had it coming.
These are normal reactions when citizens feel that their Government has abandoned them. Bibi & co have done NOTHING to allay such fears. Its time for the failure to step down.
