“Does someone have to die first?” | Reader letters

Have you seen police boss Central Netherlands Martin Sitalsing on Monday evening at Op1? Background rioters? “No idea yet.” Addressing parents about children’s behavior? “I don’t think that’s right.”

Punish the perpetrators? “It would be a shame if that would give them a criminal record.”

In short, the tried-and-tested recipe: do not name, justify, act a bit giggly, look away and use everything to avoid having to perform.

He doesn’t care that his own police personnel and the civilians are suffering from street terror. Should civilians or police officers die on the street first?
