As we were passing by the spot where they were gathered (about 20 people), a police officer was staring at us intently and provocatively blowing kisses (making sounds). When I asked him, \u201cwhat are you doing?\u201d, he started cursing at me and making derogatory comments about my appearance, saying things about my hair and asking, \u201cWhere are you going looking like that?\u201d We exchanged a few words and walked away toward the hill. A little later, as we were leaving, we saw that the same police officer had moved away from the others and was waiting for us alone above the closed stadium. When we walked past him without speaking to him, he began to follow us very closely, provocatively sticking right behind me. When we reached again the spot where the riot police were, he sarcastically shouted to the others, \u201cHere comes the brave one.\u201d Immediately, about riot policement surrounded us. One stepped in front of us and started yelling, \u201cWhat are you trying to start?\" I told him that his colleague had started the harassment, but the situation got worse. They started cursing at us vulgarly, calling me a \u201cwhore,\u201d and threatening that if they ran into us again, \u201cwe\u2019d see what happens.\u201d They aggressively told us to leave, telling me to \u201cgo back to the kitchen\u201d and take my \u201cboy\u201d and get out of there. After a heated confrontation, we finally managed to leave the area.","date_and_time":"2026-03-21 12:00:00","police_unitservice":[21],"technical_means":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/filmthepolice.copwatch.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/2105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/filmthepolice.copwatch.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/filmthepolice.copwatch.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publication"}],"acf:term":[{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"police-unit","href":"https:\/\/filmthepolice.copwatch.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/police-unit\/21"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/filmthepolice.copwatch.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"author-or-not","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/filmthepolice.copwatch.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author-or-not?post=2105"},{"taxonomy":"police-unit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/filmthepolice.copwatch.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/police-unit?post=2105"},{"taxonomy":"special-category-of-professional","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/filmthepolice.copwatch.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/special-category-of-professional?post=2105"},{"taxonomy":"technical-mean","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/filmthepolice.copwatch.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/technical-mean?post=2105"},{"taxonomy":"vulnerable-groups","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/filmthepolice.copwatch.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vulnerable-groups?post=2105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
