THEY TRIED TO TAKE HIM DOWN AND DETAIN HIM
During the İmamoğlu protests in Ankara, a noteworthy incident occurred last night. According to a report in the NOW TV Main News Bulletin, the police attempted to take down and detain a person they thought was a protester, but he turned out to be an undercover police officer.
