The agent’s images continue to be discussed police of Vicenza which, for stop a young Cuban who refused to be identified from the official public and tried to escape, plaque him behind. The prevailing do-gooders of the Italian social left wasted no time in shouting at racism, stigmatizing the behavior of the policeman, who complied with his obligations to guarantee the public safety and is subject to verification by the party to ascertain that his conduct was regular.
The facts were reconstructed by the Vicenza police commissioner on the basis of the minutes and the video that in a few hours went viral on social media. The agents would be on duty downtown to settle a fight. To witness the clash there was a group of very young who would have derided and mocked the men of the state police, who asked them to leave to avoid gatherings. The continuous ridicule of the uniformed officers by the boys led them to ask for their personal details and documents from those present, receiving the refusal to identification from the Cuban boy. The two policemen have asked the 21-year-old several times to show them the documents and get on the wheel to carry out the recognition at the police station, but the young foreigner has moved away from them, forcing them to stop.
At that point, the Cuban’s friends started shouting at the two public officials and hampering the arrest operations. The action of the group allowed the Cuban to free himself from the policeman’s grip and to run away by bike. A short-lived escape, because it was interrupted by another steering wheel. The boy will be tried today for direct violence and insult to a public official. “An episode that has no racist connotations. But, if you are sure, any responsibility agent could be punishable“, declared the police commissioner of Vicenza, Antonino Messineo.
Meanwhile, the Cuban is currently under house arrest and awaiting process. This episode also sparked social centers. About forty social center activists gathered before the Vicenza Court at the same time as the direct hearing for the validation of the arrest, to protest against the methods of the police. Along the same lines is the candidate of the Democratic Party for the regional of Veneto, Arturo Lorenzoni: “There is never justification for violence“It is of a different opinion Matteo Salvini, which sides with the police in their difficult task in the area: “Vicenza, laughs at the agents, refuses identification and friends film. If a policeman asks you for your documents or imposes ALT in the car, if you have nothing to fear you show him your documents or stop. Point. Other than RACISM, the rules are there and must be respected by everyone, whether black or white“.
