Danino says police need ‘root canal’
Police chief Insp. Gen. Yochanan Danino says police needs “a root canal” after yet another case where a senior officer allegedly sexually assaulted one of his subordinates.
Danino makes the comments during a press conference he convened after the senior officer was sent to house arrest amid the allegations.
“This is, on the face of it, a very severe incident,” says Danino. “It joins a series of incidents where senior officers were involved,” he adds.
If the allegations prove correct, the senior officer will be the sixth criminal offense by a senior police official over the past year.
