An incident that took place yesterday morning in the area where flower shops are located near the Borella Eye Hospital has become a hot topic on social media.

Following the incident, many have praised the police officer for his straightforward and honest policy of strictly following the law.

Many are saying that the professional reputation of the high-ranking DIG father and the reputation he has maintained for many years are now under serious threat due to the son’s short-sightedness and arrogant behavior.
