Minister slams ‘baseless’ complaint against 'hero' officer who helped stop Krakow gunman

(TVP World) Poland’s interior minister has condemned a complaint filed against a police officer who helped stop a gunman responsible for killing six people in Krakow, calling the accusations against him “baseless.” 

The complaint concerns Jakub Kulik, who, alongside fellow officer Artur Morański, confronted 24-year-old Michał Oksiński after he opened fire on random passersby in the area of Krakow's historic Main Market Square on Saturday. The attack at the popular tourist destination killed six people and injured 15 others, including the two officers. -- More...

????BREAKING: Kraków’s hero is being targeted by a transgender advocacy group. 24-year-old Polish officer Jakub Kulik was shot three times (one through the lung) while stopping a terrorist who killed six people in Kraków’s Main Market Square on November 7. He applied his own tourniquet and helped neutralize the attacker in two minutes. Now a Pole in London, linked to the Hejt Stop association that fights discrimination against transgender people, has filed a complaint accusing him of excessive force for continuing to fire after the terrorist was down. The terrorist is dead. Kulik is recovering. This is the British model: heroes get investigated for doing their job. Poland is watching in disgust. Most Poles see a hero. A small group wants him treated like a suspect. Stand with the officer who stood between the public and a terrorist. ????????

This is the British model: heroes get investigated for doing their job. Poland is watching in disgust.

Most Poles see a hero. A small group wants him treated like a suspect.
