Dutch police officer, who shot Rishi Chandrikasing, acquitted/Licence to kill (tags)
The acquittal of the Dutch police officer, who shot unarmed Rishi Chandrikasing, a Dutch citizen of colour, is an absolute scandal. Cop claimed self defence, while Rishi was running away, didn't try to reanimate him [he was living after hit by the bullet] and shot when moving [against police instruction]. But it fits a long tradition of Dutch police violence, racist or other. A broad protest in society is necessary. No Justice, no peace!
