“In human terms, I will tell you that it is not his intervening colleague who is responsible for the policeman's death, but a thug with a machete,” wrote Donald Tusk on social media, referring to the tragic intervention of the services in Warsaw. The Prime Minister also noted that he was “not a judge” and would not “give a verdict”.
On Saturday at Inżynierska Street in Warsaw, in the Praga Północ district, during an intervention against a man with a machete a policeman was shot, who later died in hospital. According to the Warsaw Police Headquarters, one of the intervening officers used the weapon.
As the tvn24.pl portal learned unofficially, this officer had only completed the basic course, was on a probationary period, and was not yet an appointed policeman. It was one of his first days of service.
Tusk: I'll tell you this in human terms
Prime Minister Donald Tusk referred to these events on Platform X. “I am not a judge, I am not the one who will pass the sentence, but I will tell you in human terms that the responsibility for the policeman's death was not his intervening colleague, but a thug with a machete,” he wrote.
