Against the backdrop of reports of police violence: indictment of three police officers who attacked a Ben Gurion security guard and injuring him • The police even attempted to whitewash the incident

• The security guard who was beaten in the hospital

About six months after the security guard's violent attack on the Ben Gurion Airport, three police officers will be indicted. False and disruptive trial moves.

The incident happened last December, when the 24-year-old security guard approached the three officers and began questioning one of them. After the latter identified himself as a police officer, the security guard put him down, according to officials in the incident. The policeman from Unit 747, a detective unit whose primary purpose is to seize drugs, decided that he wanted revenge on the security guard, and called two of his unit members. The three put him in a room in the Ben Gurion Unit, where they were handcuffed and beaten vigorously.

According to the indictment: "The defendants put the security guard in the room, handcuffed him, threatened and shouted at him: 'This time you will pay for this, you refuse the policeman? ... You attack a police officer you have no idea where you went in, I assure you a child you will sit in a prison for For twenty minutes, the defendants unlawfully imprisoned the security guard in the room, preventing the entry of a number of Ben Gurion security officers, including the security guard's commander, and paramedics who were outside the room asking to enter and treat the security guard who was wounded by the police. "  

According to the indictment, police even tried to hide what happened: "The defendants recorded false action reports, omitting the violence used against the security guard and stating a false arrest warrant stating he refused to identify them and refused to be detained."

In recent days, many cases of police officers using unreasonable force, and sometimes violence, have been documented on social networks in enforcing the duty of wearing a mask. In almost all cases, the officers involved claimed that the battered suspect "refused to be identified." In this case, where the security guard approached the police and presented himself as having a role in the field security, the attempt at rendering against the background of the "refusal to identify" is alarming, and raises question marks.
