Criminal Investigations Department Building Petrol-Bombed by the ‘Brave Ones’ Group

From a2day.org, Kiev, Ukraine

On the night of June 10, 2020 the building of Criminal Investigations Department (Kyiv, 25, Naberezhne highway) was attacked by petrol bomb.

The other day appalling news came from Kagarlyk, Ukraine, where on the night of May 24, police officers assaulted and raped a woman who had been summoned as a witness. The details – policemen put a gas mask on a woman, handcuffed her and shot from their duty weapons above her head – flashed around the nation.

Same kind of news comes from the other side of the Dnepr river, where police officers who killed a five-year-old boy in Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi were released from prison on bail.

Since the beginning of this quarantine the police flooded the streets of Kyiv. Control and police pressure have increased, unwarranted and unjustified inspections have become more frequent. Like the conduct of the police in Kyiv’s Podol: stop-and-search inspections of passersby under false pretenses, solicitation of bribes, beatings in police stations.

These episodes are merely details of the big puzzle. “Police reforms” remain a complete waste of time, because police is an instrument of violence in the hands of the State. It is criminal per se, all misdeeds of its personnel – simply extreme manifestations of monopoly on violence.

Through our action, we slap the police in the face. We appeal to the society and to every person to join in this endeavour, to not remain indifferent, to organize themselves and to resist actively. People from Minneapolis, USA are setting an example for us – in response to the racist killing of a black man by beastly policeman, they started a real street war against state oppressors and sadists in uniform.

Society can protect itself from both the crime and the police. This requires determination, mutual assistance and self-organization – developing institutions of self-government and peoples militia.

We encourage everyone to act so all atrocities of the police and the State do not remain unpunished!
We’re calling to arms!

UPDATE: Ukranian mass-media and the police confirmed that the attack on the Criminal Investigations Department of Kyiv had taken place on the night of June 10, 2020. There are reports that fire destroyed at least one office in the building, a few more are badly damaged. Some journalists have managed to ”connect” the attack with Pavel Sheremet murder case.

Video from “Kyiv Operative” shows Kyiv firefighters putting out a fire in Criminal Investigations Department building, which was attacked by anarchists.

Anarchists of action, you’re excellent cooks.
Your culinary feats are fine art.
I praise your flavorful and hearty attack.
The communique and the ideas expressed in it, are not the recipe, but a paper wrapper that I rip apart, crumble up, and throw away quickly, eager to devour this tasty treat.
I lick my lips, I’m grateful for this gift, I’m nourished, but hungry for more.
The appropriate thing would be for me to repay in kind and gift another meal to this potlatch, so we could keep the party going and keep on feasting.

But what do you do, if the wrapper of a wonderful gift offered to you contained a veiled insult?
If you know the one who gives you the gift and you know them to be a good friend, you’d give them the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe they got the wrapper at a store and didn’t notice what it said, maybe they were reusing an old wrapper from a gift someone else gave to them long ago, maybe it’s a message lost in translation. Either way, if noted, you might not make much of it, but you may be curious to ask them, or someone else, about it.

So I ask in a friendly manner, when it says :

“Society can protect itself from both the crime and the police. This requires determination, mutual assistance and self-organization – developing institutions of self-government and peoples militia.“

Surely by “the crime” you’re referring to police brutality -as you mentioned before that that the state’s use of violence is criminal- and not my petty crimes, which along others besiege society, eroding it, and are the reason police are put in place, to preserve society as it is, or else people would do away with the constraints that criminalize behaviors.

Surely by society -which you also appeal to earlier on- you just mean people in general, not its current civil arrangement which we struggle against.

Surely by “developing institutions of self-government and peoples militia.”...
this is just some paper you had around the house right?
