Police violence exercised against a 15-year-old Lake Park Tirana has other dimensions. In a connection with some deputies, the head of the State Police, Ardi Veliu, spoke about the difficult situation.
"Not that I want to protect police officers. The police officers, at a certain moment, have exceeded all their competencies and the police officer who consumed this action has been suspended, a disciplinary investigation has been won and a criminal investigation by the CIA has been carried out. ? - He said during the communication.
In the following, Veliu added that "what this boy represents" is also important, focusing on his family. He questions the fact that the boy may not have obeyed the police and according to him, what proves this even more, is the boy's family, exactly the mother.
"But believe me, if we look at what this boy represents from the beginning to the end, is he really convinced of the boy's police calls, as his mother claims?" Let me show you a video of his mother and believe what kind of family this child comes from and then judge for yourself. ?
Among other things, Veliu - constantly emphasizing that "he will not justify the police" - continues and tries to justify the violence exercised by minors.
"I showed you this video to show how educated this child is, from what family he comes from, how much he has obeyed the calls of the police and in the end the police, as always, become victims. That boy is ... despite his age, he is the boy I don't want, I don't want to justify anymore. I'm talking to you very openly. Not that I want to protect the police. I have a duty to protect the police, just as I have a responsibility to take responsibility if our employees make mistakes. But we have to be cool and realistic in our judgment. "
In the video , the mother of 15-year-old Zaida Çobo is shown with a pistol in her hand and appears to be threatening another man. In fact, the video - which was used by Veliu to highlight the 15-year-old's troubled family - has been detached from the shooting of a film. The images were published on her Facebook profile and are part of Drilon Hoxha's "Love Is Not Enough", where Çobo has played a role.
