The man who shoots the footage, shouts “Don’t beat the people! Shame! Shame! A man is on the gorund! Something happened! Call the ambulance!”
The incident took place last Sunday outside the stadium of Neo Keramidi by Katerini. Football fans are watching from the fence the game, father and son have gone there to watch the other son who is playing in the match.
Policemen arrive to the point and start checking the crowd for the measures against the coronavirus. The cancer patient has no ID with him. According to complaints by the younger victim to Mega TV, the elderly told police that he had health problems, but they ignored the call.
➡️Ζητούσε επανειλημμένα επί 2 ώρες (χωρίς ανταπόκριση από τους αστυνομικούς) να μεταφερθεί στο νοσοκομείο
➡️Υποβλήθηκε σε κατ' επείγουσα επέμβαση. Είναι σε κρίσιμη κατάσταση. Δέχτηκε χτυπήματα πίσω στο κεφάλι του
➡️«Με έχουν χτυπήσει σε όλο μου το σώμα, στον αυχένα, στο πρόσωπο» pic.twitter.com/oX1oVq8cKn— Queer Provocateur (@hereticProvo) April 13, 2021
“Fifteen police officers beat us, they beat us everywhere, all over the body, neck and face,” the 28-year-old son said and showed his wounds.
At some point, the elderly man passed out and fell to the ground. The man who shot the video shouted that an ambulance should come.
Instead of the hospital, the officers arrested the two men for resistance and disobedience and took them to police station. The elderly was not feeling well, requests for hospital remained without response.
After two hours, the victim’s daughter called for an ambulance and the man was taken to the hospital.
“As soon as he got there, he suffered a heart attack,” his wife told Mega TV.
He underwent a surgery on Monday morning, his condition is critical, the son said.
Due to coronavirus and his health problems, the 58-year-old man had not left his home for a year and just went out to watch his son playing, the wife said.
The family filed a lawsuit against police for putting the lief of the 58-year-old in danger and injuring the 28-year-old son.
After the case went public and several media published about it, the Greek Police issued a statement saying that they have ordered an internal investigation.
but hey theyre ‘keeping you safe’ , right? everyone in this government needs to be serving life in prison right now.
With TV coverage from the US, UK, Greece and Hong Kong to name a few, it seems that police and other military personnel are out of control, making up their own laws to suit their hidden agenda – and resorting to violence and thuggery to satisfy some innate mental derangement. Maybe it’s the type of person that gets themselves into positions of authority to enable them to deliberately abuse their positions in society.
The same seems to go for politicians – very few represent the people that p[ut them in their posts as protectors of the civilian population.
Across the world, the police are increasingly out of control and violently assaulting and killing people. The ugly face of fascism is returning to Europe — as predicted by Mark Mazower — and our politicians are very happy with this development. The coronavirus has been a wonderful opportunity for them to remove fundamental legal rights, assault Constitutions, destroy businesses and people’s economic independence, and promote the re-emergence of police states and a new form of fascist ideology.
This is the worst period to be alive since the 1930s, with the exception of the Greek civil war (whcih actually arose out of the fascist period, anyway).
I think that there are some young men joining the Greek police now who have the wrong mentality,they may believe that the police department is there to intimidate,bully,hit,hate and even possibly kill the public should resistance to the aforementioned ensue.and perhaps this wrong mentality is actually being encouraged by some elements of the hierarchy within the recruitment and training departments,something of the past rearing its ugly head in Greece which can only lead to extreme public anger and hatred towards a body of public sector workers who for the most part are trying to serve diligently their fellow citizens.Theses fellow citizens must see justice by way of punishment delivered to these said recruits when these episodes of violence occur otherwise what is the deterrent for them to stop this.
Stop blaming young people for everything! The Greek police have never respected their employers — the Greek people. They believe, and have always believed, that they are accountable to nobody. This is the fault of successive Greek governments over very many decades, and nothing AT ALL to do with young men.
As far as the current government is concerned, they have created more and more frontline aggressive police, such as DIAS, and sent them into areas such as Exarcheia to provoke conflicts and show the real power of the government of Nea Demokratia. This is the remaking of fascism. Don’t try to put the responsibility on young people who are just happy to have a job in these difficult times. The blame goes directly to governments.
My comment never blamed ALL young people or ALL police officers,what I said was….some young males might have the wrong mentality for the job and are having that mentality enhanced by certain quarters of the police department.Most police officers do a great service in often very difficult circumstances.One might sometimes see the wrong mentality in people who join the army or prison services,they find themselves in positions where they might abuse and over-step their role and as such that over-stepping and mentality must be stepped on immediately.
