Slippery Slope

The Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court has acquitted a left-wing activist indicted for causing a disturbance and assaulting police officers during a demonstration in East Jerusalem a year and a half ago.  The judge harshly criticized the police for their conduct in the case, stating that the officers were untruthful during the investigation and in court.
