“Hundreds of police officers protested Friday at the Palace of Justice over the arrest of a cop relating to the death of an 11-year-old boy. Around 300 officers crowded Place Poelaert, Belgian broadcaster VRT reported, including members of the force from police zones around Brussels and Antwerp, to demonstrate against the officer’s detention. … According to the prosecutor, an investigation provisionally indicated that the officer gave chase without switching on a blue light or siren, and that the vehicle was driven into the park — which is not accessible to cars — at a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour.” [editor’s note: The kid wasn’t being pursued for any crime, but for a supposed “check,” and it’s not obvious he even knew his pursuers were cops when they ran him over and killed him – TLK] (06/13/25)
