Well that’s why we christened you Bombos...

The police behavior was disgusting and unacceptable in this country. These animals should be thrown behind bars. Doesn't matter what the provocation was, you can't have a society that lives with arbitrary beatings by any policeman with a chip on his shoulder that's pissed off today because the steroids made his penis even smaller. Ffs..

And I've noticed some tc forum members have jumped on the bandwagon of condemning this act which I completely agree with and support. I expect you share the same feelings for the Tc policemen that beat to death live on TV Tasos Isaak and ministers of your regime that fired at an unarmed man climbing up a flagpole. Having seen tc police brutality up close and personal I strongly reccommend you lower the hypocrisy and increase the protest levels of such acts.

Last year I was caught driving through an illegal road used only by ambulances (that little bridge underpass thingie close to the Mall) and got pulled over.

The police man asked: “What’s your excuse for driving in a road….”

I replied… “No excuse, I was taking a shortcut in the hope of not getting caught.”

Cop: “Ok, well there’s a $40 fine for doing that.”

Me: “Ok, I’ll pay it.”

As simple as that! You do the crime you pay the fine and shut up!

Why can’t everyone else be like me and OWN UP when you do wrong and face the consequences?

The cops are always courteous and obliging so I have nothing bad to say about Cypriot cops. I'm with them 100%.

this person was not at the station for a traffic infringement I presume. Additionally, traffic infringements are not crimes.

Not only this, but the individual has NOT committed a crime until the Judge says he did. He is an innocent man until a judge decides he is guilty after due process.

Bashing the shit out of him in police custody is neither due process or legal. His human and legal rights were violated grotesquely. The stupid police officers broke the law, and I am sure they will be held accountable for this by the Cyprus Justice system.

"9-Year-Old Shot Dead in Ferguson While Sitting in Bed..."

This was NOT the police. Read the article.

I can assure you that in the USA if a suspect attacked a policeman with a knife he would be shot dead on the spot and the case would be included in the "justifiable homicides". So basically far worst than even what GR is suggesting that should be done. Is the USA a banana republic?

Come on Sotos - can you REALLY not see why your comparison is fundamentally flawed ?

If the policemen had used their truncheon on the suspect WHILST he was (allegedly) attacking them with a PEN knife, then your comparison would be valid. Given what actually happened here for you comparison to be valid you would have to ask, if in the USA a suspect (allegedly) used a PEN knife against the police when being arrested and later, when the suspect had no knife or weapon of any description, two policemen went into a cell with that suspect and shot him dead on the basis that he had PREVIOUSLY attacked them with a pen knife, and someone said that action by the police was the 'correct course of actions' - then YES I most certainly WOULD say that is the view of someone who wants to live in a Banana republic. Would you say otherwise ?

But my point is that a person attacking a policeman with a knife (even a small one) would not even make it to a cell in the USA. Are you saying that shooting somebody and killing him on the spot is actually better than beating him up later? And are you saying that people who are under arrest in the USA are not beat up by the police? Here is a video published just a week ago, it shows a policeman in the USA beating up a person who is in handcuffed! A woman is recording the video and apparently another policeman interrupted her recording.

Here is another one a few months ago:

Well thanks for making that clear because from your first post it certainly was not clear that this was your view.

I do not support police brutality. I agree 100% with your FIRST post and I disagree with what GR said. Policemen are not judges to hand out sentences and determine what is an appropriate punishment.

Sotos, its not ok to shoot or bash anyone.

The only time it could be ok is when the Police are attacked with a weapon such as a gun or a knife. It would be considered self-defence in all likelihood.

This man did not attack the police officers at the station from the video evidence. If he resisted arrest or was violent with the police when he was arrested is no justification for this brutal bashing under any circumstances.

Those who believe in law and order have zero tolerance for criminals!

Every year crime in Cyprus is rising and it’s all due to three things:

1. An increased number of criminal foreigners entering the country. (Soon to get worse with Shengen)

2. An increased number of LOCALS starting to embrace foreign criminal ways!

3. The Police’s hands getting tied into a knot to the point where they can’t do their job anymore to protect us.

Today, I was informed that Tseri (a small town where I live with just over 5,000 people) had no less than 5 break-ins over the weekend!

Now WTF is this? Are we living in New York???

Crime-wise Cyprus is going down the cesspool and it’s all thanks to all the idiots supporting criminals by going against the Police. If anything now is the time when the Police *must* come down on them with a heavy hand if we're to win this war.

So to those of you who support this heap of shit who saw fit to resist a simple pat-down and subsequently caused all this commotion by refusing to cooperate with the Police, I sincerely hope that your home gets burglarized and violated so that you may learn firsthand how stupid you are!

IDIOTS!

If you believe in this then you do not believe in Law and Order at all. You believe in vigilante groups. I suggest you move to the USA and join KKK or something because this is not the way things are done in Cyprus I'm pretty sure.

Well guess what, people are sometimes wrongly victimised by the police which is why everyone has certain rights afforded to them. The Police are NOT always right because they wear a uniform, and sometimes they abuse their powers just like in this case.

I am sorry, but the detainee was wronged, no matter what his alleged crime, and I hope Justice finds its way towards these 2 disgusting Police Officers. I would be very disappointed if it didn't. His Lawyer has enough ammunition to really fuck them now.

Well I could take the 'GR' approach and point out if these individuals had not been breaking the law of the area they tried to storm into then they would not have been killed or argue that such actions were, from the perspective of those committing them, acts of national defence. However I do not do that. I have in the past condemned these killings and most certainly if anything comparable were to happen today I would be condemning that as well now. You see hypocrisy because I do not condemn again here an now in this thread these killing of almost 20 years ago, without your prompting ? So should I see hypocrisy in you for raising these historic killings but without mentioning or commenting on all the hundreds of innocent Cypriots illegally killed by other Cypriots earlier than this ?

This was an atrocious incident. It is beyond my comprehension that some people here seek to exonerate these policemen.
