The controversies for the two cases of death of people achieved by the electric shock issued by the device hide the hatred of many exponents of the opposition to the police. A script already used against firearms and handcuffs
So now they also want to ban the Taser. It is dangerous. Indeed, worse: it is a “tool of legalized torture”. The pistols? Woe to pulling them out. Police and carabinieri keep them now only by figure. Other weapons? It is not talked about. The truncheon? For heaven’s sake, fascist stuff. The handcuffs? They do the bua. The stinging spray? It is toxic. The checkpoint? Better to avoid: if someone runs away and crashes you are finished. Next to this passage in a while the whistle of the traffic policeman will also be banned (another evident tool of legalized torture of our eardrums) and the traffic police scam (admissible only if accompanied by a special beach bucket). But in the end, sorry, what remains to our police? How will the criminals have to face? With tea and pastries? With a bouquet of flowers? From “stop or shoot you” to “stop or perfume you”? And if the flowers were roses, would the agent risk the imputation for improper use of the thorns?
The Ministry of the Interior Matteo plantedFortunately, he has not taken the Schillaci virus and keeps the point, unlike his colleague Don Abbondio: “On the taser, pretext and unfounded controversy,” he says. And we would miss it. What is needed to provide five thousand tasers to the police if they do not give them the opportunity to use them when they consider it appropriate? That is, when they are faced with a criminal who gives in escapement and attacks anyone around him? I repeat: if they don’t use it there, when they use it? To wash your teeth? Or to drain the pasta? What is the taser for if not to stop who becomes dangerous? It is clear: sorry that two people are died. But the reasons for death must be sought, possibly, in their mistakes. Not in those of the police, who only made their duty.
Yet the controversies are all right: from the Guarantor of the prisoners from Sardinia who defines the tasers precisely “legalized torture tool” to political forces (from plus Europe to AVS) who want to prohibit its use. The four carabinieri who in the two distinct episodes, one in Genoa and one in Olbia, used the gadget, in regular equipment, are investigated. They say it is a “due act”. It seems to me, once again, only a demented act. It is claimed that when there is a dead man you must always open an investigation. Agree. But it is not written anywhere that the investigation must be opened by investigating the carabinieri. If a newborn dies, do the parents are necessarily investigated? If an elderly dies, do you investigate the caregiver? If (and I say: if) it should come out that for some reason the carabinieri were wrong, then they must certainly be tried and punished. No impunity, of course. But what makes everything irritating is that the carabinieri immediately investigate here, by party taken, for prejudice, despite having accomplished an action that is closely part of their duties. It is as if when a car skids and ends up against a tree, the investigation was immediately opened on those who planted the tree.
Both two dead, in fact, before being affected by the Taser, swinging dangerously, and how they skidded. Elton Badithe Albanian of Genoa, prey to alcohol or drugs, was creating problems for the whole building. In fact, it was the neighbors who called for help. He first attacked the 118 health workers, then began to launch chairs and objects, then went up in the car, he started driving like a madman, proceeding to zig zag in the middle of the road, and finally also attacked the carabinieri. But what did these poor people have to do, so as not to end up investigated? Did they have to let him kill someone? Ditto for the other victim, Giampaolo Demartis: He also went around Olbia outside of himself, he too annoyed passers -by and also attacked the carabinieri, completely “out of control”, “in a state of agitation” and “creating problems in the inhabited center”. Both people had precedents, for both the link between the death and the use of the Taser was not demonstrated. Yet the carabinieri are already investigated. But I repeat the question: that the agents had to do? Pretend nothing? Turn your head to the other side? Even if the citizens had called them? Even if the situation was “out of control”? Even if there were problems in the “inhabited center”? I say more: what is the use of to pay forces of the police, if you then try in every way, always and in any case to prevent them from stopping the criminals?
For this, I said at the beginning, the controversy over the use of the Taser is worrying. Because it arrives after the controversy over the use of weapons, after the controversy over the use of handcuffs, after the controversy over the use of the manganello and after the controversy over the checkpoints. And all these controversies go in a very precise direction, that of weakening the police to leave free field to the forces of disorder. A month ago in a conference held in the European Center of the Europarlamentary Ilaria Salisin Monza, the “abolition of the police” was theorized. A thesis not new. In the United States the thesis of the police abolition has already spread a few years ago, after the killing of George Floyd. The neighborhoods (in Seattle for example) completely free from the police were even created. Without police. Result? An explosion of crime, rapes, raids, murders and violence. If this is the direction we want to go, it seems to me that we are on the right way. We remove the taser, remove the weapons, remove the truncheon, remove the checkpoints and you will see that we will finally have the safest country in the world. For criminals, of course.
