Alwaght- On Sunday, the protesters' clash with police at anti-racism rally at Rabin Square in the heart of Tel Aviv turned into violent.
A video clip emerged last week showing two Zionist policemen shoving and punching a black soldier. The video showed the soldier, Damas Pakada, standing and holding a bicycle's handle bars when an officer approached him and forcefully turned him and the bike around toward the opposite direction. There video was voiceless, so it's unclear what either party said, but things escalated quickly. The officer charged and took several swings, knocking Pakada to the ground. Second officer came to assist before the soldier managed to break free, CNN reported.
Being angry with police racial treatment thousands of protesters rallied on streets which Israeli army forces fired stun grenades and water cannon on them. Demonstrators overturned a police car and threw bottles and stones at officers.
