The officer's determination is evident as he approaches the individual, dressed in blue and visibly intoxicated. Their actions, although impulsive, are motivated by the need to protect the most vulnerable.
With firm steps, the officer slaps the attacker three times, causing a tense silence in the bar. The sound of the slap resonates like an echo of justice in a place that has witnessed injustice for too long.
Another police officer joins the scene, supporting the brave action and ensuring that the aggressor faces the consequences of his actions.
This is what you deserve for wanting to hit your mom
“I will speak to you only once. “If you move your mother's house again and hit her, she's an old woman in bed…” the policeman tells him before slapping him.
As the man falls to the ground, overcome with shame and remorse, the officer stands his ground, staring at him. Despite the harshness of his actions, there is compassion in his eyes, reminding the attacker that violence is never the solution.
After the action, the officer reaffirms: “This is what you deserve for wanting to hit your mother. If you do it again, I will arrest you.”
The story of this military police officer and his firm defense of the most vulnerable spreads as an inspiring act through the networks. His bravery and determination make him a hero to many, a symbol of the justice that everyone longs to see in a world full of injustices; while others criticize the use of force.
The Military Police, after becoming aware of the incident, began an administrative investigation to clarify the facts and the officer's conduct.
