'The police said I should lodge a complaint which can be investigated internally, but I am not going to do that. I will go the Ipid [Independent Police Investigative Directorate] route because that is what I think is the right thing,' Shai said.

"I went to the protesters and asked them not to burn tyres on the road. One of the protesters then tried to throw a burning tyre on the road.

'"I told the cop 'you cannot say that'. I told him 'that is not the language you should be talking. We should be finding ways to minimise the potential for violence'." "I realised there was trouble when they pulled out the guns from the cars. I raised my hands and begged them not to shoot, but they kept advancing."I thought of lying on the ground, but then decided against it because they would have finished me off." He said the doctor told him that he was hit 11 times."The level of violence in the police is unacceptable. We can't tell communities not to use violence and yet the police use such violence.
