Piotr Kusznieruk wrote that the policeman who allegedly held a restrained person by the throat and threatened them with death during an intervention should be held accountable for potential abuse of power, illegal use of violence, and criminal threats. He emphasized that the uniform does not provide immunity but rather entails special responsibility. He added that the case requires an investigation into both the officer's actions and the legality of the entire arrest, as well as the credibility of the allegations against the detainee. #Prawo #Sprawiedliwość #Policja (translated)

Bartosz Malewski wrote that the detention protocol and charges were presented to Piotr 30 hours after his arrest. He assessed that this was the first properly conducted action in the proceedings and added that during this time Piotr was removed from handcuffs for the first time. According to Malewski, Piotr was charged with forcing police officers to refrain from taking action and violating the bodily integrity of the police officers. In the case of one of the officers, the charge was said to include actions threatening loss of life or serious bodily harm. Malewski cited the provisions: Article 224 § 2 of the Penal Code in conjunction with Article 222 § 1a of the Penal Code in relation to Article 57a § 1 of the Penal Code in conjunction with Article 11 & 2 of the Penal Code, as well as Article 224 § 2 of the Penal Code in conjunction with Article 222 § 1 of the Penal Code in relation to Article 57a § 1 of the Penal Code in conjunction with Article 11 & 2 of the Penal Code. He stated that Piotr did not admit to the alleged acts and refused to provide explanations, but he submitted an extensive statement about the course of events from his own perspective and about the period of detention so far. Malewski also informed that a request had been submitted, among other things, for an examination of Piotr's health status. #policja #prawo #sprawiedliwość (translated)

Jacek Ozdoba stated that the recordings published by the police revealed, in his opinion, numerous irregularities during Piotr's arrest. He questioned why the officers did not provide a specific reason for requesting documents and emphasized the knife issue, although — according to the account presented — Piotr did not use it. Ozdoba demanded clarification on whether the policewoman sustained injuries and what evidence exists for that. He assessed that the recordings undermined information regarding her health status. He also pointed to allegations concerning actions taken after the arrest, which — as he wrote — could indicate the possibility of a crime being committed. He also questioned the conditioning of contact with a lawyer on providing personal data, reminding about the arrested person's right to contact a defender as stipulated in Article 245 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. He asked whether he was allowed to notify a close person, whether the measures applied were necessary and proportional, and whether he was provided with adequate medical assistance. According to a statement by Piotr W., which Ozdoba referred to, comprehensive medical examinations were not conducted. Ozdoba also raised concerns regarding the legal grounds for the arrest and pointed to the possibility of judicial review based on Article 246 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. In his opinion, the actions of the officers should also be assessed in light of Article 231 of the Penal Code. He wrote that a uniform does not exempt one from responsibility, and an arrest does not strip a person of their rights. He added that the course of actions and communication by the police, which he assessed presented many facts in a way inconsistent with reality, raised justified concerns of provocation. #Polska #Policja #Prawo (translated)

Piotr Kusznieruk reached out to Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Minister Marcin Kierwiński, and the Chief Police Commander with a question about the responsibility for the treatment of the detained Piotr W. He referred to a statement from the detainee, in which he described a lack of contact with his wife and designated defenders, the non-receipt of a copy of the detention protocol, as well as head injuries, dizziness, pain, and bruised wrists. He also accused the authorities of failing to provide appropriate medical diagnostics. Kusznieruk inquired about recordings from body cameras and the complete medical documentation, as well as why the detainee was cut off from his family and defenders. He called for an explanation of the allegations, and in case even part of them is confirmed, for immediate oversight actions and consequences for those responsible. He indicated that Tusk bears political responsibility for the government's actions, Kierwiński for supervising the Police, and the Chief Commander for the functioning of the subordinate formation. He emphasized that the Police should adhere to the law, and the responsibility for overseeing the services should not be limited to press conferences. #PrawaCzłowieka #Polska #Policja (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)

The author of the entry wrote that he did not understand how the doctor could allow the patient to be taken away in such a condition or why the patient had no contact with a lawyer and relatives for many hours after his arrest.

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)
