Interlocutors of Danas about the injured police officer: public deception, creation of panic and causing violence – society
When blocking RTS performed by students on Monday night, at the very beginning of the blockade, there was a royal with a gendarmery that entered the television building. After some time, the President of Serbia published a picture with the police officer Lazar Baćić on his Instagram Lazarus, who had a visual eye injury by saying that he was injured by demonstrators.
However, during the night, shots shot where the police officer who took photographs were seen, a member of the gendarmerie, and then he sees the bloody heads go from the face of the place.
The interlocutors of Danas warn that statements of the highest state officials do not match the truth and what can be seen in the recordings available to the public.
They evaluate such statements as very harmful and dangerous, given the moment in which society is.
Ninic: Or he lied to a police officer or president, he is not known what's up
The lawyer Ivan Ninić says that the entire incident « equation with more unknown » is there is no information in which the property was injured by a police officer, ie whether he was on duty as a citizen, and does not exclude the possibility and that he was sent as a provocator.
« What we could see on the videos is that the Gendarm struck him in the area of the eye. It is difficult to believe that when admitting to the Urgent Center, the police officer did not say that he suffered a blow from another police officer, although he should not exclude it either. The two possible scenarios are misled by the president of the state, and the other that the president of the State has advisable, intentionally and tendenciously, he shows that violation as incurred by the gathered, « Ninić states.
He says he does not know which of these two scenarios would be worse. Whether the theater is lying in which a police officer should create confidence in citizens in the work of the police or that President Vučić abuses a tragic event and a combination of circumstances.
« It is a symptomatic speed with which Dacic and Vucic showed up in the urgent center and it was not the first time. When the code can exploit the tragic situation and misfortune into political purposes. The confusion of Dačić and the expression of Vučić, during last night's address, we potentially indicate that they are strongly dangerous manipulation and that they both knew how to participate in dishonest spinovation, « says the lawyer.
Ninic points out that this behavior should produce both criminal consequences.
« There are elements of the criminal offense of causing panic and clutter, given that it was performed through the media, the prison sentence was up to five years in prison. If the President and Minister of Police know that the information they announce are not correct, and they needed to know the proven police officers themselves, they should have reacted by the prosecution, « Ninić explains.
He adds to be extremely harmful and dangerous if such behavior and deceiving public by the highest authorities continue, because it would have inconsistible consequences for this society, given the social tensions that exist since the beginning of the year.
« If the injured cop is consciously involved in decorating the public, as the interior control, as a precondition for performing police work, but also the possession of moral virtues and honors that citizens would keep confidence in the work of the police, » he says.
Ninic says that the confidence is shaken and that every next statement and procedure of the police are questioned, because it can be concluded that Vlas stops aside and becomes the service of power, not citizens in order to be.
Sabic: Creating an image on the state of society that would justify the application of robust
Commenting a last night's event for today, a lawyer and legal analyst Rodoljub Sabic says that the Constitution of Serbia guarantees citizens to be true, completely and noted to be poor and harmful when the power of citizens is denied the realization of this right.
« But from denying and hiding the information is even worse if the power places misinformation, if deceiving the public and citizens.
And in a specific confrontation of the police officer, the occasion was about it. The public was announced by the public, while he acted in civilian clothes, attacked by the protest participants, he was presented in the company of the highest officials with a great bruise and the entire event presented as Attak on the actual landscapes. However, several recordings show up more and some media that showed a bunch in the head, given him uniformed gendarmes, and that the protest participants had even offered help, « Sabic states.
According to Sabic's opinion, the government tried to deceive the public, and therefore undoubtedly injured the Constitution guaranteed citizens guaranteed.
He states that he can only plead the prosecutor's elements of the criminal offense.
« I will still remind that the Criminal Code provides for a criminal offense of challenging panic. This work performs the one who 'by presenting or overhanging false news or claims to panic, more difficult to violate public order or peace or thwart the implementation of state bodies'. Are the statements of the highest state officials that an attack on the constitutional arrangement of « illustrated » in the image of the injured police officer can cause panic? I think many would say that I can, and yes, but I don't believe that the public prosecutor would be ready to share such an opinion, « he says.
As for the reasons for the placement of this misinformation, Sabic says that there are more and can only speculate them.
« But the first of the options is most likely to create such an image on a state of society that would justify the application of a robust brachial force (* excessive use of force, prim. Aut). But whatever reason, conscious disinfirmation of citizens by government is not only from legal and moral aspect unacceptable but very dangerous, « Sabic explains for today.
Professional Association of Police: The Spoken Word of National Function Holders has a special weight, required investigation
From a professional association, the police for today say that regardless of all circumstances, the violation of any person in public gatherings is not acceptable and must not be tolerated. By fencing that they are not an association that is a political entity, but an organization that promotes compliance with the laws and rights of all citizens, including police officers, yet provided their comment regarding this event.

For this reason, every public statement must be thoughtful, true and based on proven facts. Given that the public appeared in public regarding last night's event, we believe that it is necessary to implement an appropriate investigation to determine the real factual state, « they stated from this professional association.
