The attempt to discredit the police continues today - this is also from the Ackerman book, they act according to this manual, but they do not realize that the methods of the Ackerman book have become outdated and everyone knows everything, - the mayor of the capital and the Secretary General of the Georgian Dream Kakha Kaladze stated.

According to him, it does not matter who commits a crime, the reaction from the state will be immediate.

"This is not the first time, the attempt to discredit the police has been going on for years, and this is also from the Ackerman book. They are acting according to this manual, but they do not realize that the methods of the Ackerman manual have become outdated and everyone knows everything. The attempt to discredit the police is still ongoing, but the reality is completely different. When a specific crime is committed, there is always a reaction from the state, and this will continue in the future. The aforementioned footage that we saw is very serious, but the second important issue is that there was an immediate reaction from the state and all the criminals have been arrested. There are about 40,000 police officers in the agency, there is a law that anyone who commits a crime, no matter who it is, what official it is, will be immediately responded to, as in this specific case, and those perpetrators and criminals are being punished today," Kaladze said.

When asked by a journalist whether the charges against the detainees should be stricter, Kakha Kaladze noted that this question should be addressed to the relevant agency.

"I am not a prosecutor, if you ask me this question. There is a relevant agency that will answer this question more competently. You can contact it and you will receive an answer. I can only say that crime must be prevented and responded to," Kaladze said.

For information, TV Pirveli broadcasted footage, which depicts violence committed by police officers. According to the TV company, the footage of the violence was filmed by police officers and sent to the common chat. Later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs released a statement explaining that the fact committed by police officers occurred in 2022, and the police officers in question were arrested in February 2026.
