"The detention centers and hospitals are full of our children. There is video evidence where young people stand peacefully and suddenly are attacked by police officers. When a criminal gang brutally assaults media representatives and citizens, the police officer stands nearby does nothing to protect them. So far, not a single violent police officer has been punished. Come to your senses, government, you are ruining the country!"
