The Department of Police Investigations on Monday decided not to prosecute the police who documented arresting young people with special needs in Jerusalem six months ago. The DIP stated that they had concluded that "there is insufficient evidence regarding allegations of excessive use of force for the purpose of detention." It was also reported that the case had been passed for examination by the Police Disciplinary Department for the purpose of producing lessons in dealing with police in dealing with people with special needs.

One of the police officers who was documented was previously involved in a violent incident with civilians. In that case, two civilians accused of assaulting the policeman, S., were acquitted, after the judge believed that it was actually the one who attacked them. In addition, the judge suspected that the police officers involved in the incident coordinated evidence.

The previous incident involving S. occurred in August 2016, during which time he and other detectives entered the building near the Sucker Garden, allegedly following a robbery report, or according to some versions due to the "smell of drugs". According to the indictment filed against three young men who were at the scene, S. sought to search one of them, but then the young man cursed and attacked him, while another young woman who was in the building bit him. The third young man, according to the indictment, attacked another police officer on the team.

The young woman who attacked S. admitted and was convicted of plea bargain early in the proceeding. However, the other two young men chose to conduct a trial - and in their trial a completely different picture emerged from the one described in the indictment.
Last March, Judge Paul Stark of the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court acquitted two young men accused of assaulting the policeman. As for the young man who allegedly attacked S., the judge ruled that "there is a reasonable doubt as to whether the defendant is the attacker, or the attacker who is defending himself."
