Director of the Shkodër Police killed in broad daylight
Page 2,3 EDITORIAL By Adnan THANO Good policemen in a bad state Sok Anxhelari, in a few words, is admirable. He does a good job, with some results in his work. He has authority over his subordinates and over the public. Perhaps not a little also over the killers. In any case, his killing in broad daylight before the eyes of all Shkodër, on a main city street, is a crime that should frighten us all. At first glance, because it reflects an extreme degradation of the state and the police? What place is there for big questions at a time like this? We have grown used to murders, because hope in this matter has been more dead than the state and the police. But what happened with this attack? Did things become so serious that the organizers of the killing took it upon themselves to carry out and complete it in broad daylight on a main city street? Confusion and disorder are pushing things beyond the balances that politics and the government are still trying to preserve. On the face of it, there is no salvation, not because of the fear of some criminal organization, but because of the inability of the forces to stop this criminality root and branch. Above all, the uncontrollable, the organized, the pitiful, and those with a public face of their own. If a question must be asked, it may be this: Have the people in uniform reached the appropriate professional level, but also moral level, because of the very difficult times they are going through? The answer is not easy. Where the government governs somewhat for its own fate, the work can be checked in both: in the sympathy of political colors and in the criminalization of the police? In the uncontrollable, the untouchables, the abusers, the destruction created by criminal minds in our country? At the moment when such a murder occurs, against a police chief, there is no room for many calculations. The perpetrators of the crime must be caught, but also the other mechanisms of allowing or encouraging this murder must be penetrated. In our view, in addition to the work the state must do to find the guilty, since the causes are now better known, we should find ourselves, also by examining ourselves, all of us.
