Rabat- A video showing policeman physically and verbally abusing a scooter driver has caused nationwide outrage.
The General Directorate for National Security (DGSN) suspended the policeman from his duties on Friday as he undergoes investigation.The clip of the Khouribga teacher’s violence against a student in his class had not yet faded from memory when a new video surfaced.
The video shows an officer in the security services slapping and verbally insulting the man, who was begging the officer not to seize his scooter.
The citizen even fell on his knees to kiss the officer’s feet while the latter remained completely indifferent.
The video, which has been circulating on Facebook and YouTube this past week, caused considerable controversy. While some deemed the violence “unacceptable” and “humiliating,” others claimed that the officer was simply doing his job.
More than simply provoking controversy, the video also helped expose the police officer to the DGSN.
Abdellatif Hammouchi, the director of the DGSN, decided Friday to forward his case tour the disciplinary council and suspended him from all his duties as member of security services.
