• Fast Draw – Court Lenient Towards Abusing Policemen ““This is an especially ugly offense,” wrote judge Ido Droian in his verdict. “Considering the difference in power between the sides, two armed men in uniform, standing together against a man who belongs to one of the weakest groups in our society, a refugee or migrant from a country plagued by war and hunger, who carried with him what little he had.” You would expect that after this verdict the sentence would be severe, but no. Judges treat terrible, ugly offenses, which hurt the police and the entire Israeli law enforcement system, according to another set of values.”
