Convicted--but what is the punishment? Has anyone looked at the videos? This was brutal! And it was not only Edri. Gd help this country if this is what we have to rely on to protect the law of the land!

They should be trained to deal with the enemy, not with the people they are suppose to protect. What a travesty of justice!

this low life is still working as a policeman! it reminds me of what happened to the chief of police in charge of the gaza evacuation. he told his police officers to be as violent as possible against the jews of gaza. after much uproar, they decided to transfer him to be in charge of another area so that he can abuse other people.

A disgrace. The man is sent to do battle with Israeli citizens by the people who have been elected by Israeli citizens and then egged on by his senior officers he does what he believes is expected of him, and it should be borne in mind that in all seriousness a horse has a mind of its own as well-try riding one if you don't believe me-.Then when the chips are down everyone responsible for the initial criminal decisions disappears into the woodwork and he is left to face the music on his own. Utterly contemptible

I've personally been rescued by the cops who happened to be passing by at the right time as some thugs started to attack me. I was also at a peaceful protest in Jerusalem a few years ago when cops were ordered to "clear the sidewalks" - they did this by lining up a few huge cops who simply walked along like a snowplow shoving everybody off the sidewalk. This happened to literally include little old ladies, several of whom were injured, and all of whom were terrorized. There is still a chauvinist attitude among the guys in blue that they are the law, and whatever they do goes. The court decision certainly proves otherwise, but the sentence should be harsh as an example that there is a price to pay if the police themselves break the law at the expense of the safety of civilians.
