Russia's Interior Ministry is investigating charges of police corruption made by Russian police officer Aleksey Dymovsky. Meanwhile, more revelations are surfacing on the Internet of corruption in the police.
In the western media, the shocking video about police corruption posted by Aleksey Dymovsky and his immediate dismissal have been read as indication of state supported Russia’s culture of corruption. It is wonderful to read in this site that Russia's authorities are taking police corruption seriously and that ordinary police officers are coming forward with corroborating evidence to back up Aleksey Dymovsky’s shocking claims.
If this is an orchestrated plan to do a clean sweep of the police, or if these are individual actions, I hope the outcome is the same. Time to clean house. We have another case before the US Supreme Court where a man was sent to prison for over 20 years on a frame up, and the prosecutor helped fake the evidence. He and the police knew who was guilty but they didn't want that man to go to jail, so they picked a young man off the street who was convenient. The plaintiff (who recently got released from prison when the facts became known) is claiming the prosecutor violated his Constitutional rights. And get this, the lawyer for the prosecutor said his client should not be sued because there is no Constitutional right to NOT be framed! Therefore the prosecutor should not be vulnerable to lawsuits. I hope Russia has better luck cleaning up its police than we have had.
With all due respect, "some say it might not be selfless" for Dymovskiy, if you dont want to sound like Pravda, you might want to not raise this vague threat to the mans integrity.
