Israeli Police Chief Suspends Officer Seen Kicking Protester in Bnei Brak
Israel Police Commissioner Danny Levy said that after reviewing videos from a protest at the Bnei Brak Junction, the commander of the Tel Aviv District ordered the immediate suspension of a police officer who was filmed kicking a protester. The officer has been removed from operational duty pending further handling of the case.
Levy stressed that the police will act firmly when commanders or officers are found to have acted outside procedure. He said, "If we learn that commanders and officers acted not according to the procedures, we will not hesitate to deal with them harshly and suspend them from operational activity. There were senior commanders at the protest, and my expectation from them is to control the event."
