The actions of Polish patrol officer Jakub Kulik, who together with a colleague neutralized a shooter in Kraków and, despite being wounded, continued to act until the terrorist ceased to pose a threat to people, sharply contrast with the actions of our police officers who ran away from the terrorist in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv.
So — Jakub Kulik is a former serviceman, a paratrooper. Previously he served in an airborne brigade of the Polish Armed Forces.
What does this tell us?
Despite the fact that Poland is not at war, military experience and training are extremely relevant on the streets of modern cities. And in Ukraine — even more so. Military personnel and veterans could become patrol police officers, and current patrol officers could be sent to serve in the armed forces.
It is very odd that after five years of full-scale war, tens of thousands of trained and prepared patrol police officers in Ukraine still have not gained combat experience, while the National Police hides behind a single brigade “Liut” that is completely inappropriate in this context, the majority of whose personnel are “mobilized” rather than career police officers.
