On Friday, in the center of Warsaw, the police intervened with a man who refused to identify himself, which resulted in his incapacitation, and the matter was commented on by politicians and experts in the context of the actions of the officers. #policja #interwencja #Legitymowanie (translated)
Piotr Kusznieruk described the court's decision to deny the arrest of Piotr after the protest as a disgrace for the prosecution. He stated that, in his opinion, the lack of high probability of committing a crime meant that the prosecution had not demonstrated the basic premise for applying the arrest. He claimed that Piotr had spent over 50 hours deprived of freedom, and the police conducted a brutal intervention and a request for arrest was submitted without convincing evidence. He noted that the denial of arrest does not mean acquittal, but he considered it a serious signal for the prosecution. He called for the accountability of the police officers and their superiors. #prawo #sprawiedliwość #prokuratura (translated)
Jan Molski wondered what those who defended the intervention at the Łączna Zoo thought about the matter. He called it a disgrace for the services, animal rights groups, and the government collaborating with them. He added that Ms. Marta "totally crushed" it. https://t.co/kFbdz30MDG #ZOO #interwencja #kompromitacja (translated)
Piotr Kusznieruk wrote that the revealed recordings raised questions about the reason for the police check on the man who was, as he suggested, connected to the protest. According to his reconstruction, the officers followed the man for several dozen meters, demanded his personal information without providing a specific reason for the check, and then incapacitated him inside the building. Kusznieruk noted that the man pushed the officers away and fled inside, but he believed that this did not explain the earlier decision to conduct a check. The author claimed that the man lost consciousness during the intervention, and the knife found with him was not presented as having been used. He also questioned the proportionality of the force used and whether the man deliberately attacked the policewoman when the window broke. Furthermore, he described that several hours later, the detained man was informed that he could meet with lawyer Magdalena Leszczyńska if he provided his details. According to Kusznieruk, the man did not know the lawyer and did not want to see her, while the police considered this a refusal to contact a defense attorney. Kusznieruk also criticized the statement by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who — as he wrote — linked the matter to President Nawrocki. He asked whether the police acted on the orders of superiors, collected data on demonstration participants, and previously observed the man. He directed questions to the Polish Police and the Ministry of Interior and Administration regarding who ordered the identification of Piotr and on what basis. He warned that if the identification of protesters occurred without legal grounds, it could mean using the state apparatus to control citizens. #Polska #Policja #protesty (translated)
Piotr Kusznieruk stated that the footage from the body camera raised serious suspicions that the man may have been previously monitored as someone associated with the protest organization. He claimed that the police had been trying from the beginning to establish his identity and asked whether they were acting on orders, who issued those orders, and on what legal basis. Kusznieruk emphasized that the systematic gathering of data by the police on individuals participating in legal protests, without specific grounds for identification, would signify practices characteristic of an authoritarian state. He pointed out that participating in a protest is not a crime, and the police should protect the constitutional freedoms of citizens. He asked the police who ordered the identification of this man and why the officers were interested in him even before the intervention. #protesty #wolność #Polska (translated)
The author described the photograph as a symbol of the current authorities' violation of the law and stated that the bar association should intervene in this matter. He wrote that the police cannot condition contact with a lawyer on any terms, because — as he emphasized — this is a fundamental right of every person at every stage of the proceedings. https://t.co/XqfwEMMsUR #prawo #adwokatura #wolność #PL (translated)
Max Hübner turned to the Capital Police Headquarters with questions about where the policewoman was injured, why the officers wanted to check the man's identity, why they did not provide the entire recording, and why they were chasing him. He also asked about the reason for the intervention, which he described as extremely unjustified, and assessed that the police had very much compromised themselves. #policja #interwencja #zdrowie (translated)
Joanna Pinkwart wrote that the recording from the police officer's camera showed the beginning of the intervention. According to her, the officers wanted to identify the man but did not explain the reason to him, and the recording showed him walking while the police were running after him. Pinkwart added that the man did not respond, but after the female officer instructed him to move aside, he attacked the officers, pushed them, and began to flee. The author wrote that the officer immediately knocked the man to the ground. In her opinion, this undermined the version that the man had lunged at the female officer, causing her to hit her head against the window; Pinkwart noted that earlier recordings had already challenged this account. She added that at the moment the window was broken, the man was incapacitated and lying on the ground. Pinkwart also asked why the police wanted to identify the man and why he reacted so aggressively to the attempt to move him away from the crosswalk. #policja #interwencja #sprawiedliwość (translated)
The police published footage of the intervention, showing a man resisting during the arrest, violating the bodily integrity of the policewoman. #policja #interwencja #nagranie (translated)
The Warsaw Police published a recording of an intervention on Marszałkowska Street in Warsaw, which took place on Friday, October 16. According to the police, the footage came from the body camera of one of the officers and showed the course of the event. The police stated that the detained man was initially passive and actively resisted, did not follow commands, refused to provide his personal information or show identification, and then attempted to flee into a building. According to their report, during the arrest he violated the bodily integrity of a policewoman who suffered injuries, received medical assistance, and was taken to the hospital. The police also assessed that the people present in the building hindered the intervention, did not maintain the required distance, and increased the sense of threat. They explained that the publication of the recording was meant to allow the public to familiarize themselves with the course of the event, in connection with the emerging reports and comments which, they claimed, could serve to spread misinformation. #policja #Warszawa #interwencja (translated)
PiS MP Jan Dziedziczak accused the police of lying and challenged the official version of events related to the intervention that led to an injured policewoman and the detention of a man near the Constitutional Tribunal. #Polska #TrybunałKonstytucyjny #Policja (translated)
Łukasz Warzecha wrote that the hysterical behavior of the female officers, regardless of the reasons for the intervention, was meant to cover up deficiencies in training and physical preparation. He considered that such a situation was dangerous because an officer who was unable to perform a task using the means provided by the law on firearms and direct coercion under the given conditions could resort to harsher measures than the situation justified to compensate for their own weaknesses. He added that this could lead to disaster. #interwencja #bezpieczeństwo #policja (translated)
Marek Markowski wrote that he saw female officers weighing, as he stated, 60 kg, who were sitting in police cars with phones in their hands. He claimed that during interventions they would panic and react with excessive aggression, describing such behavior as a parody of police officers. https://t.co/L34D8AOh56 #policja #interwencja #parodia (translated)
Emilia Kamińska asked whether the policewoman lied by saying that she was injured. She wrote that she had not complained about anything before and that there were no signs of injury, and after the intervention, she walked around the scene and gave orders to her shocked colleagues. She also asked what the policewoman whispered to the rescuer a few seconds after he entered the building and why she allegedly threatened witnesses to the intervention. https://t.co/fmVKOIndyx #policja #interwencja #prawda (translated)
Anita Czerwińska wrote that the policewoman, who that day during the intervention behaved aggressively and pinned a gasping man to the ground, appeared on a breakfast program, where she gently spoke about providing first aid. #policja #pierwszapomoc #interwencja (translated)
Piotr Kusznieruk questioned the way the police presented the controversial intervention. He wrote that the detained man lost consciousness, and according to witnesses, he was being choked and was taken to the ambulance in handcuffs. He added that there were no recordings from the officers' body cameras, but the available recordings contained screams and the officer's profanity. Kusznieruk pointed out that reports included information about a folding knife that was allegedly hidden under the man's clothing. He asked whether the man threatened with it or took it out, and emphasized that no evidence of the knife's use was presented. In his opinion, simply possessing a knife would not justify choking or the disproportionate use of force. The author suggested that highlighting information about the knife while ignoring the circumstances of losing consciousness and the lack of recordings could serve to build a convenient narrative. He called for the release of recordings, documentation of the intervention, and the basis for the use of specific coercive measures. He added that deliberately distorting facts to justify the officers' actions would be a more serious problem than the controversial intervention itself. #policja #interwencja #manipulacja (translated)
Sławomir Cenckiewicz wrote that after several viewings of the intervention, he deemed it unprofessional. He pointed out manifestations such as lunging at a person he described as a victim, shouting, insults, and threatening bystanders, as well as handcuffing this person on a stretcher. He added that before entering the SWS headquarters, police communication systems were left on the ground. #policja #profesjonalizm #interwencja (translated)
Max Hübner wrote that Jarosław Kaczyński intervened at the police station on Wilcza Street, where the injured Piotr was supposed to be held. According to Hübner, the police officers fled from the reception when they saw Kaczyński, and Piotr was secretly taken out of the hospital when his representative arrived. https://t.co/ggf8RtrkYK #Kaczyński #Polska #policja (translated)
OfficialZero informed that the owners of the Thai restaurant in Warsaw suspended the sign above the establishment, and two years later the City Roads Authority presented them with a letter demanding payment of 780,000 PLN. According to the author, the fee was said to arise from the fact that the sign cast a shadow on the sidewalk, and with interest, the amount could already exceed one million PLN. OfficialZero asked why the owners were not notified about the inspection and why they only learned about the penalty two years later, as well as where such a high amount came from. The post included material from Małgorzata Frydrych from "Interwencja Zero." #Warszawa #Restauracje #Interwencja (translated)
