A crazy operation by a policeman right in front of a maid office in Prague, others watched
The attack, which took place last week in front of the duty police in Prague – Horní Počernice, was apparently recorded by a witness on a mobile phone, the video is circulating on the Internet.
It is clear from the video that it is probably a provocation, but the policeman can only use legal means against citizens, in this case he did not threaten him in any way, it was enough to simply handcuff the young man. But the policeman obviously lost his nerve.
What preceded the attack is not clear from the video. The recording begins with a younger-looking man at the office door, from which a police officer immediately bursts out and without warning immediately punches the man hard in the chest, causing him to fall on his back to the ground.
Then the policewoman comes out, who should have intervened immediately and stopped her colleague, but she watches the policeman’s repeated blows to the man who is on the ground. Two more policemen come out, whereupon the uniformed thug stomps on the man on the ground and punches him again with his left hand. Apparently, the others then help him with the handcuffs.
An aggressive attack by a police officer on duty on a citizen who may have behaved inappropriately (I don’t know), but it certainly does not justify the actions of the police officers. not like this @PolicieCZYou don’t pay for this. https://t.co/w96vSOESHp

The internal control department deals with the behavior of the law enforcement officer.
“Disciplinary proceedings have been initiated, the case is under investigation,” police spokeswoman Violeta Siřišťová told Novinka, adding that her colleagues had also informed the General Inspection of the Security Forces (GIBS).
GIBS spokeswoman Ivana Nguyen said the inspectorate would not be looking into the case. “After evaluating not only the record, but also the events, the inspection found no suspicion of a criminal offense in the case,” a spokeswoman told Novinkám.
“The control authorities will examine in detail the appropriateness of the policeman’s intervention, but at the same time they will also evaluate what preceded it and what is not captured on the video,” said Siřišťová, adding that the internal control examines only the attacking policeman. His colleague and two other police officers who were looking on are not involved in the investigation.
According to the spokesperson, initial information indicates that the attacked man is a recidivist who has been convicted six times, who according to witnesses was aggressive and threatened to shoot all police officers on patrol.
