Instead of suing the police: On Monday afternoon, the commander of the Lev Habira police station, Deputy Chief Shimi Marciano, and the police chief, Deputy Chief Rami Barachiha, met with 13-year-old Batya Geter - the girl who broke down in tears in front of two police officers who wanted to give her a report for not wearing a mask. The girl was accompanied by her parents and family members. At the beginning of the conversation, Chief Marciano said: "We are glad you came, our goal today is for you to have a positive experience. The police have many tasks, mainly to maintain public safety, and recently, we have been tasked with maintaining public health, in order to prevent illness and ensure that the entire public wears a mask. "I want you to know that the police are good people, who protect the public and take care of them, and I hope that you leave here today smiling and feeling good." Chief of Police Barakiha: "The police work hard to protect the health of the Jewish people, and they are doing holy work, and their entire intention was to protect the health of all of us. It is very important to us that you know that the police intend to do only good." Batya's father, Yehoshua Getter, said: "I want a message to come out of this, the sanctification of God - and that the Jewish people need unity. I want us to unite, reconcile and move on." Afterwards, the station commander gave Batya and her family, who accompanied her to the meeting, a tour of the station and a meeting with a policewoman. [Gallery]
