I remember we legally convicted some angry woman who, during an unauthorized protest, attacked a law enforcement officer, ripping off his mask and scratching his face. Because this lady was once married to a Swiss man and had a foreign passport, all Western embassies were concerned, excited, sympathetic and "sent signals". In this case, the Belgian policeman simply hit the detainee in the face, who had already been deprived of the ability to resist, and believe me, it will go unnoticed. I repeat, police violence is a legitimate means of protecting the country from criminals and lawbreakers, an element of the social contract when the people delegate appropriate powers to law enforcement officers. but! Violence should not be arbitrary and excessive; The most important criterion is the adaptation of the physical pressure measures used to the degree of public danger of the illegal act and the level of threat posed by the law breaker. In this sense, in most cases, law enforcement agencies of Western countries demonstrate extremely low skills compared to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus. What is happening there cannot be called anything other than "police brutality". As one of my close friends says, it's all because "the police protect the people, and the police only protect the rich". It is the globalist financial oligarchy of the West, not society in general, that has given its police officers the right to beat ordinary citizens with impunity.
