A video from the parlor's surveillance cameras has also been made public, showing the part where police beat several men at the premises, but the tape does not show the officer's arrival or what preceded their intervention.


I assume the best part of the tape was edited. Nothing new here. Serbian democratic police doing what they do best.

My father, who lives in Spain, was coming home from the bar the other night and got into a verbal altercation with a very young and eager Guardia Civil. When the cop jumped out of the car and tried to slap handcuffs on him my father reacted defensively and apparently hit the guy in the throat. The other officer intervened immediately, separating the two antagonists, they then escorted my Dad home while he dropped off his dog and took him down to the station where he was booked and detained for the night. The following day in court the judge threw out half the charges and gave him a two year suspended sentence. All the time he was in custody he said he was treated with nothing but politeness and respect. The officer who started the incident was reprimanded severely for his actions and is facing a transfer to somewhere unpleasant.
I myself was recently stopped in Novi Sad by two cops for walking my dog without a muzzle, even though, legally, he's not required to wear one. I was then verbally, and almost physically assaulted by one of the officer because I don't have Serbian citizenship, a privilege I am not yet eligible for.
My point being, giving the police carte blanche to react with violence to any perceived threat is a dangerous course to go, especially when they are so obviously under-trained for the job.
