BRUSSELS: Belgium was in shock on Thursday after a video emerged showing a Slovak man being violently pinned down by airport police officers in images that recalled the fate of George Floyd in the US.
​

The CCTV images date to Feb 2018, when Jozef Chovanec was taken off a plane in Charleroi, Belgium, after refusing to show his ticket as he boarded.

Chovanec, who died in the wake of the incident, was taken to a holding cell where he is seen in harrowing footage banging his head against the wall until his face bleeds heavily.

Several police officers are later seen entering the room to handcuff Chovanec. When this fails to calm him, they return to hold him down, with one sitting on his chest for 16 minutes.

During this sequence, a female officer is seen in the cell dancing and making a Nazi salute.

Chovanec was then taken to hospital where he died after entering a coma, officially of a heart attack.

According to her legal team, widow Henrieta Chovancova chose to make the video public against their advice as she had grown frustrated with the investigation, which has dragged on for two years.

White supremacy. Such cases are in fact very common in western society. Is just need to be uncovered. The western system are rotten to core.

I think the guy who was killed was Eastern European himself. It may be related to the Aryan theory which the Nazis followed. The Slavs are considered inferior. I'm not sure.

It's funny how they have blurred the face of that Eurotrash bitch though. At least the Americans had the decency of releasing the actual footage of the incident.
I have always said that as much as Iran and the United States are enemies, I would side with Americans against Western Europeans any time.

The only white supremacy in western society is inside your brain.
There is nothing that here.
There's racism in the east, There is not racism in the west.

When your country will have a non-Han-chinese president maybe you will be able to talk about racism in other countries, but that it will never happen. Because in the east in general, and in China in particular, racism exists, they had a victim complex from past ages, like the Nazis had a victim complex with the WWI winners.

If there is so much police brutallity in Europe, wouldnt it be better to leave Europe? What you think?

Shame.

Its interesting how the nazi's took a few hours to take Belgium.
The Belgian women now gove Nazi salute but when the Nazi's arrived they simply bent over and presented themselves

 

[BHAN85]

If the racism or nazism were something acceptable Belgium wouldnt be in shock.
They are in shock because is a real strange thing in that country.

Questions nobody is asking is a) why did he refused to show his ticket? He could have avoided all of this by just showing his ticket? B) why did he started banging his head on the wall which led to bleeding? What was the purpose behind it?
Why do people become so stubborn only to lose their lives in the process.
As for Nizai Salute, just shows supramacist.

He do not accept the rules of the country he living in.

B) why did he started banging his head on the wall which led to bleeding? What was the purpose behind it?
Why do people become so stubborn only to lose their lives in the process.

Two reasons. First, to let him look like a victim and the hope that the judge let him free. Second, to spread hate against a country and culture he doesnt like.

As for Nizai Salute, just shows supramacist.

What an other here in thread said: She is just a dumb bitch.

Guys this is one dumb female police officer making the Nazi salute, and the other officers who seemed to not have used correct restraining techniques with a man who was banging his head against the wall. They were trying to stop him from injuring or killing himself but he ended up dead from their actions.

Let us not use this one tragic incident to label Belgium a country full of racists.

Belgium must be a sensitive country. In some countries , these sort of incidents are common and not consider as brutal. It is very common.

Chinese is more tolerant compare to west for race issue. The west of their brutality against other inferior race in their eye of cos need people like u try to deflect the accusation against China by claiming Chinese is more racist or equal them. Care to show me video of Chinese police kneel a black or other race to death?

You earn your 50 cent for your white master today.

They thought they are civilised. Apparently, they are not.
