“Accountability for thee, but not for me”
> According to the prosecutor, an investigation provisionally indicated that the officer gave chase without switching on a blue light or siren, and that the vehicle was driven into the park — which is not accessible to cars — at a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour.
> They may have been careless, but that arrest was a big surprise,” he added. “The feeling among colleagues is: This could have happened to me, too.”
To say that they may have been careless and could happen to them too shows why this arrest needed to happen. They drove into a damn park with no lights, sirens and fellow police think there shouldn’t be an arrest? Jesus fk.
11 year old boy playing in a park gets run down and killed by someone driving their car through it…. and the police side with the killer. Fucken vile
Police attracting scumbags looking for power and immunity is a global phenomenon apparently
ACAB is true regardless of the country
From what I read on Belgian news they knew he was just an underage kid on an ebike and that’s the reason they chased him.
It wasn’t at night, they chased him in a no-cars area and either used their vehicle to make the 11yo fall off his bike or negligently ran him over after he fell, not caring either for their speed, their distance or direction to him.
That looks like criminal negligence, no matter if they used their sirens or not.
Most responsible cop
Police (individually and systemically, including policy makers) need to get it into their fucking heads that not everyone needs to be caught at all costs. The worst that should have happened here is a kid escaped who committed a minor offence. Not pursuing should always be an option.
13:12 again
This article was so vague I presumed that the boy had managed to kill himself by fleeing — I thought of a case in the UK where a boy fleeing a police car drove himself under a bus.
Why did I have to click through a second article to read that the policeman drove the car which struck and killed him?!
Cops drove 40 kph in an area where cars are not allowed. Neither siren nor lights were used although that´s mandatory in a chase.
And the 2 cops involved supposedly lied in their statements.
Police unions are acting like idiots in this case.
I understand that people want to show solidarity with colleagues doing a tough job in a tough environment, but come on… cop or no cop: if you’re not signalling with lights and siren you’re in an emergency, you are beheld to the same traffic rules as any other person. If you drive recklessly and kill a person, you should face the accountability, no matter the reason.
What is the priority? Switching on the lights or catching the bad guy? Give em a break!
Police will always defend their own.
“this could be any of us”.
Dude, your are telling on yourself!
Unbelievable.
Is the situation like in the US, where there are no standards for hiring and that results in sub 80 IQ cops or what?
Are we deadass
“The feeling among colleagues is: This could have happened to me, too”
Absolutely deranged thing to say. Admitting that any of them would run over a kid if they got the chance.
I swear man cops all over the world are a cult where they think they are above people
