The video shows the policeman approaching the motoboy, who was apparently injured after the collision, and hits him with a kick. In addition, he seems to maintain control of the situation with the use of physical force, while the motoboy, which had no resistance, was trying to protect itself. The situation generated a great online debate, with various reactions of repudiation and revolt.
Many netizens expressed indignation with what happened, pointing out that the aggression would not have justified. For some, the fact that the policeman is armed contributed to disproportionate and cowardly action. The sense of impunity was also a recurring theme in discussions, with several people questioning the attitude of a public security professional acting aggressively against a worker.
“Now it has become fashionable for police assaulting motoboys, as if it were common,” one user commented, while others also criticized the lack of consequences for such actions, accusing those responsible for improperly using authority. There were also to suggest that the category of motoboys united to protest this situation, making comparisons with other places where workers mobilize against abuse.
The feeling that the situation was an abuse of authority was also widely discussed on social networks. “Abuse of authority is a crime! An unprepared policeman, unable to do his role,” said another netizen. Others also pointed out that the policeman’s behavior contrasts with the treatment given to criminals, suggesting that workers are easy target for abuse while real offenders are unpunished.
Despite the indignation, it was not possible to get a contact with the motoboy involved to hear your version of the facts. There are no official pronouncements yet.
The situation continues to generate repercussions on social networks.
