My Persian Do not handcuff the police!

Fars news; My Persian: Many campaigns on the topic of increasing police powers have been registered in my Fars system. Meisham Yousefzadeh is the editor of one of these campaigns In an interview with a Fars reporter, Ha said: “Our police are not like the American police and people are not afraid of the Iranian police; It is also true that the police is a symbol of his calmness and kind attitude towards the citizens. Of course, criminals should be afraid of the police.”

A non-profit group that monitors police violence in America says: Police forces killed 1,176 people in 2022. Mapping Police Violence, a non-profit organization associated with the Black Lives Matter movement It is related, says: The number of people killed by the police in 2022 by shooting, beating, electric shock and arrest is 31 more than in 2021. In that year, 1145 people were killed by the American police.

In Iran, however, the story seems to be different. Yousufzadeh says: “We want more access and authority from the relevant authorities for the police of our country, because many times some of them have been subjected to attacks and painful events and have been martyred at the hands of evildoers.”

Several examples of thugs attacking the police have been published in the media. For example, on the pretext of the 40th Hadith Najafi ceremony in Behesht Sakineh on the Karaj-Qazvin highway, some thugs seriously injured two policemen with multiple blows of a knife during the riots. The severity of the injury and the traffic caused by the chaos caused the Naja helicopter to land on the highway to transport these two people to the hospital. In another place, rioters attacked a police car and seriously injured its 4 occupants.

In another example, on Wednesday, 13 Bahman 1400, Lt. Col. Ranjbar, the deputy of Bidzerd police station, along with a soldier who was driving a police car, was patrolling the main road from Shiraz to Kovar in line with his daily mission. A pride car that was monitoring the traffic of the police car, when the police car arrived at a restaurant, the killer came to the police car and first hit the soldier with a machete and injured him; In order to protect the life of the soldier, Colonel Ranjbar got out of the car, armed his gun and warned the criminal without firing a shot and got into a fight with him. Finally, the attacker hit the deputy of the police station with a machete, and when he fell, he hit him in the throat and got into the car and ran away.

Some experts believe that the reason for these incidents is the lack of laws protecting the police. The editor-in-chief of Powish believes that “with the amendment of the laws, criminals will be more accountable to the police and more security will emerge in the country. On the other hand, laws should be established to deal with people who harm the police field.”
