Police brutality?

Uproar for a video released by Reuters, from the episodes in central Athens, on 06/12/2014, during the protest march for the anniversary of Alexis Grigoropoulos’ murder.

The video shows a man, who has been arrested and handcuffed, to be under an unprovoked attack by a policeman of MAT unit, with punches and kicks.

At the same time, the other policemen immediately rush to remove the man from their berserk colleague.

The headquarters of the Police has ordered an investigation into this incident.

The cop was well out of order plus dozy for not seeing the Reuters news cam next to his left lughole.  Although I would have some sympathy with the demonstrators, it wasn't peaceful - they were chucking Molotovs, not that that justifies bashing a guy who was cuffed and pretty quiet.
