The beating of an elderly man with a dog is abuse of authority by a police officer.
Former chairman of the Supreme Council, Lieutenant-General Miachyslau Hryb said that to the site charter97.org, commenting on the recently posted a video, where a policeman is bringing down to the ground and beating an old man, and kicking his dog at the Piatroushchyna Metro Station.
– Violation of the law is always a violation of the law. A police officer has to be a man of nerve, and try not to use force during detention of an offender. All the more he cannot just beat anyone up, kick anyone and so on.
– Thus, can we assume that the police officer has exceeded his authority?
– It is difficult to qualify his actions, not having the investigation materials. But when it comes to this video, of course, it is a violation of the law by the excess of official powers.
