The mainland has been promoting the construction of urban civilization, and local urban management departments are also advocating civilized law enforcement, emphasizing that violent means cannot be used. However, what is shocking is that there are still some chengguan officers who are often threatening and fierce in enforcing the law in the face of street vendors, without empathy and self-reflection at all.
On the afternoon of September 6, a frightening violent law enforcement incident occurred on the streets of Longyan, Fujian. Several uniformed chengguan team members beat a young man on the spot after an argument with him. The video shows a middle-aged male chengguan team member with gray hair kicking and hitting the man's head with his fists and feet, and his movements are abnormal. The man screamed and the scene was chaotic.
It is understood that at the beginning of the incident, it was the man who placed the fruit stall in a position that should not have been placed, which triggered the persuasion of the urban management team members to leave. There was a verbal altercation over the placement, and then the situation began to spiral out of control. Exactly who made the first move remains to be further investigated, but the violent methods of the chengguan team members have exceeded the bottom line of normal law enforcement.
The video shows male chengguan members pushing the man to the ground, then punching wildly and kicking the man hard in the head. The chengguan's behavior was extremely ferocious, completely out of control in anger, without thinking about the consequences. During this period, two other chengguan officers suppressed the man and did not dissuade the beating.
After the man got back on his feet, he probably pushed the chengguan again out of anger. Subsequently, other roadside vendors rushed in to try to stop the situation from deteriorating further. Several city guards began to react at this time, raising their hands in an attempt to pull the two sides apart.
What is shocking is that the middle-aged chengguan, who kicked and beat the man before, directly ripped off his uniform, leaving only a white T-shirt, and then rushed to the man again to continue beating. Fortunately, others stopped it in time, otherwise the man could have suffered more serious head injuries.
This middle-aged city policeman came to enforce the law wearing only shorts and slippers, and dressed casually, and had completely lost his due majesty and image. There were more and more onlookers at the scene, some shouted "the chengguan is beating people", and some people persuaded and called 110 to call the police. Finally, before the police arrived, the chengguan team members left the scene, leaving only the victim man in place to wait for treatment.
Netizens who watched the video were shocked and angry at such violent law enforcement methods. The fists and feet of the chengguan are not a joke, and the slightest carelessness is likely to kill people. It is strongly demanded that the relevant departments severely punish this gray-haired middle-aged chengguan, and must not condone this barbaric so-called "law enforcement."
There are also some more rational netizens who analyzed that the cause of this incident is also related to the man's illegal behavior. Roadside stalls were banned in the area, and the chengguan repeatedly persuaded him to leave, but the man insisted on not listening, which also became the fuse. But in any case, law enforcers must maintain maximum rationality and restraint, not use violence at every turn, and need to establish a good image of chengguan.
From this point of view, urban management needs to be further standardized and legalized, and the professional ethics education and psychological adjustment training of urban management team members should be strengthened to avoid the recurrence of similar incidents. Only civilized and rational law enforcement can win the support and support of the people and promote the construction of urban civilization. It is hoped that all localities will learn lessons and make due contributions to building a harmonious and stable society.
