Czech Police Tackle Father To The Ground In Front of His 3 Year Old Son, Because The Man Forgot to Bring a Mask When He Picked Up His Child From School

 

A disturbing video of police in the Czech Republic putting a man into a headlock after he allegedly refused to wear a face mask to protect against Covid-19 has gone viral and prompted an investigation. 
In the clip recorded on Wednesday in Uherske Hradiste, police can be seen tackling the maskless 40-year-old man to the ground and holding him in a headlock as his frantic three-year-old son cries. 
According to the Facebook post, the man had run into trouble with police after he “picked up his child from the playground” and forgot to bring a mask. 
Though the video sparked widespread condemnation against the police officers involved – and led to them being taken off duty – Uherske Hradiste Mayor Stanislav Blaha partly defended the officers’ actions in a statement on Facebook, Thursday.
