Minister of Internal Affairs Ivica Dacic said that he will investigate everything to the last detail if there was an abuse of police authority in the garage of the Government of Serbia.

"We are not hiding anything," claims Father Ivica Dacic the behavior of Marko Kričko in the garage of the Government of Serbia.

After the Rector's College sent a request to the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office to establish the truth about the actions of the police on August 14-15, Dacic pointed out that the service will internal controls to investigate if there was abuse and overstepping of authority by police officers. He urged everyone to post only verified information.

"We react when there are untruths, and there have been dozens of them since the beginning of the blockaders' gatherings," said Minister Dacic.

Policewomen cry too, don't they?

Nobody complained.

Dacic added that Nikolina Sinđelić together with five people, on August 14, around 23 p.m., at the corner of Knez Miloš and Nemanjina, she participated in an illegal traffic blockade and called for an attack on the police, throwing torches at the police.

"The police brought them into the Government building in order to transport them to the PU Stari Grad for further treatment, because they would have been attacked on the street," Dacic said.

A torch was found with her.

"At around 1.30:3 a.m., she was brought to the Old Town, and the prosecutor declared that there were elements for misdemeanor proceedings, and she was released from the station at XNUMX a.m. There was no tying, insults, or any kind of mistreatment," said Dacic.

He pointed out that there were no objections to the actions of the police and called on everyone to publish only verified information.

"We are not hiding anything, if there is misuse and abuse of authority, the internal control service exists because of that," said Dacic.

Everything is being covered up.

"Vreme" almost wrote about internal control.

"We are not on the streets to monitor the professionalism of police officers, but their loyalty to the ruling party," an inspector of the Department of Internal Control of the MUP told "Vreme".

He has been with his colleagues for months on the street, in civilian clothes, and observes what his colleagues in uniform are doing.

"But not to monitor their professionalism, but to record how loyal they are to the ruling party, since the party controls the police force," said the inspector, who asked not to be named.

"Vreme" learns: Internal control covers up police brutality

"When they receive the order to disperse the crowd, then, also due to political pressure, no matter how brutal they are, they are not responsible for the excessive use of force. Everything is covered up," he says.

It reminds of the case of a colleague in civilian clothes, Lazar Bačić, whose eye was injured by gendarmes during a protest in front of RTS. "When the public did not get the spin that he was injured by students, the case was put in a drawer," claims the interlocutor of the editorial office.

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
