According to the police, the dismissal of the employee is the result of a disciplinary investigation after suspicion of gross dereliction of duty. The investigation mainly focused on his involvement in organizing the procedures and making public statements against the implementation of the Corona procedures. He also introduced himself as a police officer.

Last year, Spanjetra’s actions left his colleagues confused because ‘Police for Freedom’ smelled of anti-corona activism. The club’s official goal is to promote solidarity between “different services” such as the police and citizens, as Spanstra itself has stated. To the dismay of other police officers, he announced the Dutch mission in a live broadcast with anti-Corona activist Willem Engel last March.

Inconvenience

By the way, Spanstra has not been active as an agent for quite some time. Due to circumstances, he was not actively working for a number of years. The fact that the officer is officially ill, but is an active activist, is one of the reasons that prompted the police to launch an internal investigation.

The former police officer announced on Twitter on Thursday that he would be having a conversation with the police. “I wasn’t a cocky cop, I wasn’t a talent, I was just a simple cop who wanted to fight injustice. That was what I went to work for and that’s what I am by nature. Including people who have problems. I will help people and I will always do that.”
