Piotr Kusznieruk accused Wielowieyska of accepting the police's version as an established fact and assessing the detained individual before the court's decision. He questioned the legal basis for identifying the man who — as he wrote — was calmly standing at the crosswalk, as well as the attempt to take him aside. He asked whether the refusal to provide personal information justified intervention. Kusznieruk noted that pushing away the officers and fleeing did not exempt the assessment of the legality and proportionality of the force used. He also pointed out the choking of the subdued individual, the vulgarities and threats that — as he wrote — were audible on the recording, and questioned whether such behavior was within the standards of human rights. He added that the court had refused to detain the man, and according to the defense, it concluded that the prosecutor had not even demonstrated a high probability of the alleged act being committed. He characterized this as more than just a routine refusal of detention. He deemed the attribution of a crisis to the detainee based on his behavior as public stigmatization. He also believed that publicly presenting him as an aggressor before the court's decision could be seen as incitement, and that journalists should monitor power, rather than act as its spokesperson. #prawaCzłowieka #Polska #policja (translated)
