Imgur user plamentanev posted this image from Bulgaria on Wednesday. He described the scene:


"This photo really moved me so much that I decided to try and raise awarenes to what is going on in my country. This girl was crying and begging the policeman not to hit her or any of her friends. Then the policeman started crying as well and he said to her: “You just hold on girl.”
