Which girl was hit by the policeman and why?
On August 10, in Moscow, on Sakharov Square, an uncoordinated rally was held in support of candidates who were not allowed before the elections to the Moscow City Duma. During the action, an activist Daria Sosnovskaya was detained. The girl did not offer any resistance, but after the arrest, the policeman punched her in the stomach. The incident was caught on video and spread on social networks. Sosnovskaya went to the doctors, who diagnosed her with bruises of the chest and head - in front of the paddy wagon she was hit on the head. Also, the victim wrote a statement to the Investigative Committee about abuse of power. The activist suggested that the police officer was angry because a rubber truncheon fell out of his hands at the time of her arrest.
The Baza edition appealed to the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with a demand to check the police officer Sergei Tsyplakov for involvement in the beating of activist Daria Sosnovskaya at a rally in the center of Moscow on August 10.

Sosnovskaya wrote a statement to the Investigative Committee, according to Zona Prava. It says that during the arrest, the girl experienced "very severe pain." “At some point, a rubber truncheon fell to the ground at the police officer who was twisting my right arm. Despite the fact that I did not offer any resistance, the specified police officer illegally used physical force on me, struck me with a fist on the right side of my abdomen. I guess he was pissed off that his club fell out. From this blow, I experienced very severe pain and lack of air, ”wrote Sosnovskaya.
The girl also noted that the police officers hit her on the head near the paddy wagon. She was diagnosed with a soft tissue contusion of the head and a contusion of the chest.
Earlier, the head of the human rights organization Agora, Pavel Chikov, announced a reward of 100 thousand rubles for information about the policeman who beat Sosnovskaya. Baza editor-in-chief Nikita Mogutin declined the remuneration. This money will be used to pay for the work of Sosnovskaya's lawyer.
Nevertheless, the police officer purposefully planted his fist in the unprotected belly of a woman.
Never. Just.
Video footage of the precise and sharp blow spread across the web. Everyone can see.
There was absolutely no need for the policeman to beat the unfamiliar woman in the gut. His act cannot be justified by any "interests of the service" or whatever else the police chiefs usually come up with in such cases.
He beat only for the sake of experiencing sadistic pleasure. There were definitely no other reasons.
Sadism is a tendency to violence, to derive pleasure from humiliation and torment of others.
Photos and videos of police arrests in recent weeks indicate that many of them apparently enjoy hurting others. Including defenseless women.
We do not know why sadists now serve in the Moscow police. We do not know why they are violating the Law "On Police", Article 20, which regulates the legality of the use of physical force by the police. We are simply stating a fact: the police officers have lost their shores.
They would be more restrained if they could be identified. But the employee who beat the girl in the stomach was wearing a mask and without a badge. Anonymity gives confidence in your own impunity, doesn't it? ..

An additional small but nice bonus.
