Police Union ANPV is furious about the 'witch hunt' on Brabantse six officers who are suspected of aggravated assault. According ANPV chairman Geert Priem are agents already convicted, while the National Police, the case still under investigation.
,, The arrestee was very aggressive and was possibly drugged, "said Priem. ,, There were six policemen needed to keep him in check. The police just did their job."
A 48 year old man from Schijndel was early this week for three days in a coma after he had received a cardiac arrest in a police cell in Den Bosch. Previously, he was detained in an institution for people with intellectual disabilities and mental disorders. He had behaved aggressively towards the care staff.
During his arrest and at the police station during the ride of the health care remained the man who resisted. At the request of the prosecution, the Department is investigating the case. The agents are suspected of "possibly inflicting grievous bodily harm."

According to Priem, the agents by the suspicion "immediately blamed and placed in a very bad light." ,, It also allows the OM already given direction to the investigation, "says the chairman ANPV. ,, Apparently the reason for the police deployment not more important, and is now focused exclusively on the consequences. This goes to the integrity the entire police organization. "
The police union finds that police and other officials with public duties should be able to carry out their work without fear of being already in advance held accountable. The suspicion of the six Brabant agents is particularly sensitive after the death of Mitch Henriquez, who last summer died after crackdown of the Hague police.
