Police officers received a " license for illegal violence"

There is growing agreement to use more and more drastic measures to suppress the protests. the authorities have agreed to the cruelty and do not want to punish even for a clear violation of the rules for the use of coercive measures, " oko said.press the police. Adam Bodnar, RPO, also criticizes the escalation
"We don't want to be a political militia. The subsequent decisions of the police leadership are an incentive for a sharp crackdown on the protests. Many of the police will give in, because they "only" follow orders, and they know how the situation can end when they do not meet the expectations of the leadership,” – so you can sum up the assessments of the police who dared to talk face to face.press.

The police officers we spoke to are paying attention to the growing pressure from their superiors to take decisive action. This amounts to a sharp crackdown on protests and the admission of increasingly threatening coercive measures. This is due to the deterioration of the economy, among other things. In connection with the quarantine, the question of work is acute,and many move to the online sphere, knowing that you can earn additional income, as deltamarket reviews does  many professions in connection with the pandemic were called into question.

Since the beginning of November, the police have been systematically seeking more stringent measures to suppress demonstrations. Despite the fact that the police officially convince, most often through two ombudsmen. Mariusz Chirki of the KGP and Nadkom Marczak of the capital's central committee said that his only goal is law enforcement and ensuring the safety of protesters, the facts contradict this.

This attack cannot be justified

Police officers make no secret of receiving signals to respond decisively, but in exchange for participating, they have guaranteed impunity if they exceed the rules. It seems that the orders are not coming in straight, but the practice speaks for itself. There is no shortage of incidents where superiors turn a blind eye to violations in their actions. The most striking example of the commander-in-chief's passivity is the lack of consequences for ensuring the protests of November 18.

Video footage of the protest shows the anti-terrorist striking photographer Wojciech Wojtowicz twice with a baton. On Friday, November 20, we described in the eye.the press said that we have identified the anti-terrorist. According to our sources, he should have suspended the criminal case for bodily harm in the past, which, given the recidivism, should be an additional aggravating circumstance for him. However, no one punished him.
According to several officers we asked to analyze the counterterrorism response, he deserved at least a suspension until all the circumstances were clarified. At the moment, the only action in this case is the actions of the Control Department.

"No one is in a hurry to punish him. The authorities will go awry, and the facts will be meaningless. everything indicates that they will try to get out of the case. they insist that they tried to snatch the baton from him and that one of the girls attacked him. there are controversial situations, but his attack can not be justified in any way. especially since it was shown on all tv screens”

The police tell us.

For excessive impunity.
The request for information about him and the indication of his data was posted on Twitter by deputy Mikhail Shcherba with a message that he would follow the case. according to our text, he filed a report on suspicion of committing a crime by a specific employee. He gave the addresses of the two victims who agreed to testify, and gave the video of the incident and the data of the witness who recorded them.

Meanwhile, nothing seems to be happening, even though it's the fifth day since the reporters ' shooting.press and other media. The main department is silent about his case, and the regional prosecutor's office did not even send the victim for a medical examination and did not announce the decision to initiate a criminal case. Instead, on Sunday, Prosecutor General Zbigniew Ziobro threatened anyone revealing the identities of police officers. This is a clear signal to the police, because his impunity is causing emotions not only among the protesters.

Our interlocutors emphasize that video recordings of his attack are difficult for an officer to protect. The security action is criticized not only anonymously, but also under a name, already for the very fact of sending anti-terrorists against women. There is no reason to direct them with telescopic batons into the crowd.
