I don't condone the beating of these guys once cuffed, but I have been told from a reliable source that (and this is what the tape does not tell you) in between the beatings the perps were shouting insults to the coppers, about their mothers, sisters, wives. There is no audio, so you don't hear it. This is why there is a start-stop of the beating, they would hit them when they shouted the insults.

Until you have all the info, you cannot judge. On first inspection, i would have hung the coppers, but after I heard that I had a different view.

you used the word perps to describe the 2 students when in fact they were never accused of anything on the other hand the 10 policemen were so they were the perps

[Get Real!]

Drunken punks causing problems in society should be beaten and thrown in jail.

haters will hate

in any case there is no law in any free country that allows beating of civilians based on abusive language... plz tell me how would you react? if you were drunk, aproached by civilian clothed policemen (and we all know how many of them use their job to let out the frustration of their miserable lives) aggresively, being cuffed, thrown to the sidewalk and get a nice beating and kicking in the face... how do you justify that? really?

It was those 2 poor boys, i could be next, you could be next, our sons could be next

Fwnh,

I did start by saying "I don't condone the beating of these guys once cuffed"

Now get off your high horse and calm down.

If they were cuffed they were considered to be perps.

No they should not have been beaten but they are not entirely the angels you are making out. Are you related ????

no i never met them otherwise i would have known what happened to the case, and i 'm just stating facts, is it not so? i really can't see how the beating is justified in any case!
ok lets look at it from another perspective... 2 people were beaten up but accused of nothing? WHY?
are you a cop?

[paliometoxo]

simfono mazi sou fwni.. the police do not have the right to beat people just for calling them names.. this would be done by corrupt police, a sensible response would be to just walk away instead of beating them and putting cuffs on them. imo

i think i heard on the news some time ago a few of them where suspended, but it happened a long time ago i forget the exact details :/

[fwnh]

ofcourse they don't, how does that incident reflect on our society? especially with how the case went on in the courts? i would not go as far as calling them corrupt (based on this incident alone) but ruthless and with no respect tot he laws that we pay them to enforce... and please keep in mind that the policemen were not in uniform!! so the two youth could not have started the incident by calling the policemen names which if it was the case we wouldn't even have this conversation in the first place
What i didn't mention in my first post, because i didn't think it was important, was that this policemen were out to capture the infamous at that time "Drakos" the guy that was stalking women at night

fwnh, exactly what was your point of posting this ancient story?

if you feel so strongly, go petition the AG and get the coppers re-arrested and fired.

I am not a copper, I don't condone beatings, far from it, but I can understand their reaction.

Once in cuffs and once they took the first 'slap' if they had shut up, then they would not have provoked further 'slaps'

Eitherway, I don't agree with the cops, so we are on the same side.

[fig head]

OOH S**T too bad!!

nah im kidding.. not that i support such an act, police should help and protect people not treat people badly

but.. some one doing so doesnt mean the whole lot is bad..

WELL<where i come from we have nothing called human rights, people some times dont go to courts for justice, they go straight to jail.

people who disappear from their lifes, their families without a chance to say goodbye. because we obay a rule called the terrorism law whitch police doesnt need any reason to arrest you.

now thats a police brutallity.

I didn't post this to anger people or to provoke more anger towards the policemen i believe they had enough and they would carry that case with them for ever.... the point is that cases like this one are always up to date!!!

I do feel really strongly that the officers actions were far from justified... but i would have accepted a justifiable answer as to otherwise if someone can produce one.... my point on posting this story was to find out what finally happened to the case, this post was the reason i wanted to join a cypriot forum, because i didn't know where to start my research. If someone knows what finally happened and shared his knowledge on the forum that would have been enough for me

Why cuff them in the first place? (they were accuse of nothing) and why oh why slap them (or kick in the face) ? to shut them up? you find this police methods orthodox?

And i don't feel we are on the same side because i don't have a side..
