Have the elected officials taken their positions in advance? You have some nice logic in that sandbox of yours :)) PiS-PO is one evil!

Police training is abysmal. Either a drunk policewoman with a service weapon buys alcohol and has her weapon taken away, or they are unable to make an arrest.

If I may correct my colleague's selective memory, I'll just mention that the deterioration of the Constitutional Tribunal began with the election of judges in advance. PiS didn't do this. Besides, PiS and PO are one big deal!

Time for a change 💪

A certain Jarosław Polskęzbaw, from his first term in office (2005-2007), led to a lack of respect for the law, except for the law he himself invented. In the next term, after losing the election, he began by "blowing the fuses" of the politically independent, namely the Constitutional Tribunal, so that no one could get to his backside. He chose the rest of the judges at his own discretion, and who signed the nominations? A certain Duda, a resident of Kaczelnik. And so we have neo-judges and a mess in the justice system to this day!

if some senior official gives a comment to the press, it means that the perpetrator simply ran away and has nothing to brag about.
