BEITAR ILLIT (VINnews) — On Sunday a Charedi driver was forcefully arrested by a police officer, however he insists that he did nothing wrong. The arrest was recorded by a passerby. On the video, the man claims that he did nothing wrong other than getting upset, and did not deserve to be arrested. In addition, he accused the officer of being unnecessarily brutal and physically hurting him, and the video seems to support that claim.

According to a report in B’Chadrei Charedim, the driver was pulled over for talking on his cell phone while driving. The driver says that he yelled at the officer in his own defense, saying that he was using a hands-free device and did not deserve a summons. Then the officer arrested him.
הנהג שנעצר הבוקר בביתר עילית, שוחרר לפני זמן מתחנת המשטרה. בשיחה עם 'בחדרי חרדים' הוא אומר: "לא נגעתי בשוטר, הוא משקר. צעקתי עליו שהוא אדם רע כיוון שנתן לי דוח למרות שלא דיברתי בטלפון. אמרתי לו אולי דברים שלא היו במקום ואני מצטער על כך, אך זה לא מצדיק מעצר בכוח" https://t.co/VazxHaNNtR pic.twitter.com/cTeHuMmIhE

The Charedi driver insists that he never did anything physical against the officer. The video begins with the officer tightening handcuffs around the man’s fists and forcing him into a police car. He then placed chains on his feet. The man is yelling to the camera that he did nothing wrong to the officer. The officer appeared to be using very severe force and treating the man like a criminal.
According to the news outlet, the man, named Shmulik, was interrogated and then released. He said, “I had a headset connected to a device. I did not speak on the phone with my hands. I shouted at [the officer] that he was a bad person because he gave me a summons even though I did not speak on the phone. I may have told him things that were out of line and I am sorry about that, but it does not justify arrest by force.”
He added: “During the interrogation, they showed me the (officer’s bodycam) video, they saw that I approached the policeman but did not touch him. I shouted at him: ‘You are a bad and corrupt person, he claims that I spat on him. In the video you do not see any spitting, the interrogator also agreed.’”
There have been multiple incidents in recent months in Israel, in which police have been accused of using unnecessary force and even beating Charedim, completely unprovoked.
If the Israeli police were as rough with the Arabs as they are with the charadim, we would have a much more pleasant place to live.
Much of the force seems to be due to the fact that the cop can’t work a pair of restraints. Looks like incompetence.
This is a run-on sentence:
“On Sunday a Charedi driver was forcefully arrested by a police officer, however he insists that he did nothing wrong.”
That should be:
“On Sunday, a Charedi driver was forcefully arrested by a police officer; however, he insists that he did nothing wrong.”
I didn’t see any brutality.
I one time saw that a police tried a move like this on a person and told them that they run a red light, the driver told the officer he did not but the officer told him tell it to the judge, the driver told him no problem it’s all recorded on my dash cam …the officer told him in that cast never mind. I feel like fornt and rare dash cam can help in a lot of situations
Jewish lives matter.
Not to defend the sometimes barbaric police he yell and spat at the officer what do you think the cop will do ignore it?
a POLICE STATE…
Yet people still worship the evil Zionists and encourage “aliyah”…
Let the wicked israeli police use their talents of brutal force in Kiev against the salacious russians
We need to have more chareidi children. We need to marry you for girls at 16. We spit on the israeli pork eater laws as they hate Torah worse than the communist. They don’t arrest Arabs who have multiple wives but will arrest chareidi Jews who marry under 19. Chutzpah.
