Central Israel Cops Beat, Taser Man Stopped for Not Wearing MASK!
David Uriel Biton hospitalized after incident, now in custody until hearing on Monday; Holon police station says officers to be investigated internally after video of their violent attack on civilian goes viral
A 24-year-old man was brutally attacked by two police officers as they went to arrest him on Friday night for not wearing a mask in public. David Uriel Biton was beaten, punched and tasered by the two cops in Holon, a town just south of Tel Aviv, and had to receive hospital treatment before he was detained. Police have opposed Biton's release and he was to appear before a judge on Monday to determine whether he must remain in custody.
The incident, which was captured on video that went viral, shows two uniformed police approaching the 24-year-old and asking him to show his ID. Despite showing the officers his identification, the video shows Biton and the officers arguing, and the cops dragging him while his friend demands to know why violence is being used.
At that point and for no discernible reason, one of the policemen takes out his taser and fires it at the man.
Biton managed to utter "what's going on, man?" before he was tasered again while the second officer punched him repeatedly in the head.
At this point, the video shows Biton on the ground and groaning in pain.
Despite his friend's repeated pleas for the officers to stop, the two continued to use the taser until Biton also begged them to stop.
At one point Biton stumbles to his feet as his friend yells: "What have you done to him? He is covered in blood." The police then continued to use the taser.
At his arraignment, police claimed Biton refused to cooperate with the officers when he was stopped for not wearing a mask. They also claimed he had attacked a police. The judge ruled he must remain in detention overnight.
In a hearing on Saturday, however, the judge first instructed the police to release Biton in light of the serious injuries he sustained during his arrest, and the fact that he had no criminal record despite his violation of the mask-wearing regulation, an offense punishable by a fine.
But after an appeal by the police, Biton remained in custody and was to appear in court again only on Monday.
The Israel Police said the officers' conduct during the incident would be investigated.

BEFORE THE KNESSET:
It hurts, listen to David Bitton, who bursts into tears and says: "Why did the police cause me this trauma? After all, I presented an identity card. I did nothing. I am a normative, educated person. I have no criminal record. Only after 4 days were I released. They just wanted to. "They beat me cruelly. They decided to torture me and I do not know why. I vomited, fainted at the police station. They shouted at the police: he is about to die and they did not treat him." Discussion in the State Audit Committee in the Knesset on the subject of criminal arrests @Israel Police - Israel Police

Chazal tell us that when one is unusally cruel, he is SURELY NOT a descendant of our forefathers, Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov! This brutality is one that matches the Nazis and their cohorts (Ustashis, etc.) from WWII. They are either mercenaries working for the police or Arab police. These vile creatures should be ousted from any kind of position where they have any authority. They should be fired and then put on trial for terrorism! That these horrific episodes are constantly happening in EY is unforgiveable and inexcusable. May H' show them the same mercy as they showed this young man. BTW, is this young man an orthodox Jew? Most likely.
