Opinion When the police give up Israel today

2022-09-17T21:01:16.770Z


The police document that defines everyday crimes as non-urgent is a complete disconnection from the citizens it promised to protect. So is the wireless silence of the relevant minister and Prime Minister


Psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung wrote that "in every chaos there is a cosmos. In every disorder there is a hidden order."

The decision of the police not to go to the scene of the crime or to the victim of the crime in the case of "car theft, agricultural theft, telephone infrastructure object and more" but to be content with sending a WhatsApp message to file a complaint, is in fact creating civil chaos that will create a hidden, violent order that may create anarchy.

The silence of the Minister of Internal Security and the Prime Minister is legitimizing a social disaster.

If the state raised its hands, then we should think about establishing a local police under the local authority, according to the powers and after a social discourse that should take place during the upcoming elections.

Years ago, in a settlement in the center of the country that suffered from a plague of burglaries, the residents initiated a community watch.

One night the "burglar" was caught: he was stripped, tied to a tree, painted and after a day was sent home to tell others what would happen to whoever was caught.

The act was a direct result of a lack of trust in the police.

From the moment the burglary suspect was caught, the residents became police officers, investigators, judges and those who carry out the sentence.

I don't know if it was really a burglar or just a suspect, any reasonable person will agree that he should not be humiliated or interrogated when he is naked, beaten and threatened.

The vision of the Israel Police states "We will act out of mission and commitment to provide personal security and social security to the citizens of the country, its residents and guests, to provide them with quality and equal service and to improve their quality of life, along with our determined activity to enforce the law."

Personal security is undermined when you find out in the middle of the night that our house was broken into, that the jewelry is gone.

Personal security is undermined when a professional police officer does not arrive to perform a house scan.

The presence of a police officer after such trauma next to the victim of the crime is a significant part of instilling security, by the way, also in the logic of the required caution.

The police document that was circulated and defines the crimes of the day as non-urgent is a complete disconnection of the police from the citizens they promised to protect.

Disconnection also arises from the wireless blood of the relevant minister and the prime minister.

We need to talk about the feeling of personal insecurity in the upcoming elections, about the feeling that the police is collapsing, about the need to find a new organizational structure for it.

The election chaos is also an opportunity to mark a new path.

The ordinary citizen wants a policeman to come to his house when he discovers that it has been broken into.

If his car is stolen, a policeman will come to the scene and look for information or other evidence.

The citizen wants to feel that the policeman cares and that the police cares and that someone protects him.

The decision of the police to wipe out 50,000 crimes a year is creating chaos that will lead to the creation of private police forces, which are not certain to live up to the scale of values ​​that Israeli society wants for itself, and the chaos that will be created will force us to get used to a hidden order out of the disorder that the police and the minister who heads it have imposed on us in a step of terrible stupidity.

If the state declares that it cannot provide an answer, an orderly process should be carried out and authority given to the local authorities to operate a local police with powers and definitions, in which cases it accepts responsibility and in which cases the national police will be responsible.

were we wrong

We will fix it!
