12 days until Eurovision
Head of the Security Coordination during Eurovision Bohdan Lyzogub told that around 10 thousand policemen and national guard officers will be involved to ensure the security during the international contest. All the 13 Eurovision locations will be enhancely patrolled by the police and equipped with video surveillance cameras.
A quote: “115 video cameras will be installed at the main location – the International Exhibition Centre. The cameras will be installed outside as well as inside the building. 7 thousand video cameras will be installed around the city in total.” “We will ensure enhanced police patrolling, especially in the city center and at all the locations, including departure and housing locations of the citizens. The security will be enhanced in public transportation, with police information desks operating.”
But we should mention that only white middle-class men and women will feel safe. Others remember interactions with the police very well – they don’t inspire any feeling of safety.
To increase the security level, a police training in Kyiv metro was organized last night. It must have been aimed at teaching them the best ways to tell violence victims off filing their police reports – like it happened on April, 23 in Mariupol. Azov battalion fighters threatened a group of black guys at a football field. A quote:
“If all of them (black guys) won’t leave immediately, they won’t leave at all.”
Foreign student Magomet confirmed that he and his friends had a conflict with people in military clothes. Magomet tried to file a police report, but was refused his right at the police station.
“The police didn’t want me to write a report” – Magomet said.
10 000 cops wil be ready to serve white people very soon.
