(en) DAF, Meydan #24 - "The police are the police do not
trust! "- Ellis Thompson (tr) [machine translation]
Polis violence, Taksim-Trip Resistance i post on the streets against the government of
injustice, especially since the implementation of a more open, more reveal the existence
of a threat in our lives. Due to political reasons, with or without various periods, we
live in geography and people exposed to police violence in the world and is often the
result of this police brutality, is going to lose their lives. ---- Of course, that not
only our geography police and state violence due course, found recently in the most
obvious reflection of the United States. In August of 2014 in the town depends on the
Missouri Ferguson, was murdered black teenager shot by police Michael Brown. Brown and
white police killed, was cleared by the US yarg?s?n. Similarly, in July 2014, the New York
Police throat tightened murdered African-American Eric Garner's killer cop "was
justified." (See. Square Newspaper-Number: 23 / ??"I can not breathe" - Marc Bray)
TESEV (Turkey Economic and Social Studies Foundation), recently, in relation to the police
violence, the people of the region we live in "confidence in the police" was published a
survey. According to a report by the police violence in the community regarding the
various ethnic, religious and political categories in the framework of "trust the police"
(or distrust) results in the points were obtained. Sunni, Turkish ruling AKP supporters
and supporting the MHP "Do not trust the police" while a high percentage of results; "To
trust the police", the result is predominantly Alevi Kurds and HDPE came from voters in
the political line. In a similar way "about the police legitimacy" to the question,
political belonging within the framework of the AKP-MHP voters / pro-people coming from
the positive response; still HDPE / DBP in the line and the Alevi-Bektashi faith in those
who have received a negative response. Again plane Sunni religious police cooperate or to
obey the police, obtained in research are much more open than the Alevi-Bektashi was
another result. When we returned to the answers given by the political affiliation of the
state, the human rights violations carried out by police hand arose directly proportional
data. Accordingly, the AKP and the MHP against the rights violations committed by the
police emerged that a higher tolerance, HDPE / person in line in the DBP quite fell.
Political affiliation, ethnic and according to the results obtained on the basis of the
general public with religious identities while a majority of the police at around 60% of
the population thinks realized that life and human rights violations across the state's
judicial machinery of impunity released. However, police violence and human rights
violations across the community can apply a clear majority of "independent" are demanding
a complaints mechanism. Research Perhaps the most striking result of this demand, in fact
society "trust" the perception of just "enforcement of state violence and injustice"
beyond the police at position also gives a hint on the state itself.
In fact, government support and protection of the police violence and human rights
violations, despite these and other public research, or come up frequently in the news now
with the media today is not an isolated problem. Geography and our presence in the world,
with the presence of state coordinated this emerging phenomenon, states and their judicial
powers, people living rights expressly field killer cops in hand "laundering through" has
now become more visible in. When we polled our memory can remember in the history of the
land we live in the medium term, however, police violence samples available. Including
state police on society with all law enforcement agencies after September 12 that
terrorized the 1980s and Kurdistan which intensified the pressure on the geography of the
1990s and we put in a different place, singular we are faced with many police violence
incident and practitioners of violence the fact that somehow protected by the police of
the state.
Granting new powers to police pistol "Police Duties and Powers Act" after its entry into
force in 2007, Baran Tursun Foundation, the number of people who lost their lives,
according to the 183. This number, in police stations "found dead" 28 people were not
included.
Some of the events we have mentioned, the functioning of the judicial process killer cops
sued the state on the obvious examples of injustice poses.
August 30, 2012 in Ankara by the police "to adhere to the stop warning" in the murder Cem
Aygun case on the grounds, on one of the killer cops "dismissal" when deciding the other
is for the "overcoming without intent to limit duty to kill by" indicted by 2 years in
prison demand was opened. For Aygun sister because of their protest in front of the Ankara
Police Department police murdered by the brothers were asked to 58 years imprisonment by
the prosecution.
Mardin Kiziltepe on 21 November 2004, while playing with his father who was murdered by
police in front of the house in case the killer cops U?ur Kaymaz "self-defense" than was
acquitted. In the event that the state murdered U?ur Kaymaz slippers and foot in front of
his home state, "two terrorists were captured dead" was found in the form of an official
statement.
In December 2009, Ankara entertainment venues for speaking Kurdish folk murdered by Serkan
Akbulut special operations police Emrah Gezer in the case of the judicial process, women's
murders a judicial process operating we are familiar with the case. Emrah Gezer with the
principalities of weapons carried by the killer who murdered 15 shots in flagrant criminal
police "drive heavy discounts and good conduct" were made.
Yalova May 2012 after police pepper spray as often Cayan who died in Birben event is the
event can be seen in the case in which the court could only be determined after 1.5 years.
Yalova between Primary and High Criminal Court at the local, due to differences of opinion
on the point where it did wounding kill intentionally event, "the case which will look at
the court" killer go during the proceedings that in the police, despite the demands arrest
of Birben lawyer pending "are on trial."
Police violence and the perpetrators of this violence killer cops protecting the state of
the sample through the judicial system, it is possible to come across the countries of the
world outside our region. In the final period and type of inputs mentioned in "Ferguson"
event in the events in the outside past history, the state police violence against the
injustice of the examples given.
US April 1992 African Rodney King beating to cause serious injury to police officers who
assaulted by the police and the court decision not to prosecute in the protests after the
granting of a total of 53 people lost their lives.
Brazilian police in the last summer before the World Cup held in Brazil experienced
protests, including children, that also killed 6 people. The judgment of the Brazilian
state police killer "due to be returned fire on the police warning", Turkish state in a
similar manner to the judiciary "mind."
In Greece in 2006, a year of torture in police stations with two Albanian immigrants theft
charges after images were inconclusive result of the lawsuits for police torturers fall to
the internet.
We live in soils and in the these examples light on against the world, recently resulted
in Ali Ismail Korkmaz in the case of the killer cops on conviction, state-hitman killer
cops and the direction of the exposition on the equation between the incumbent judicial
mechanism to protect them actually constitutes an important data. At this point, in fact,
far from surprising that the killer of the court after the court process and similar
protection reflex decisions. This is the beginning of summer with side some police
violence and the police to trust that a number of data shared by TESEV report in the
society and forming a ratio of specific expectations as 60%, "independent" states the
independence of the grievance mechanism will be true to the floor.
