13 May 2008 | 20:04 | Source: Tanjug PRIZREN -- A 40-year-old woman serving with the Kosovo police, KPS, has been found dead in Prizren.
The regional KPS office confirmed this, and added that the body was found in the Pariz Motel.
The killer shot the victim four times in the head firing from her service pistol.
Police detained one man in connection to the case, and identified him only as being a Kosovo Albanian.
It was probably done by the drug smuggling mafia. Prizen in southeast Kosovo is a key town on the heroin and other drugs smuggling route.
Actually its just southern, Prizren is, not southeast, but it is close to both Macedonia and Albania and connects direct to Tetovo which is a restless ethnic Albanian dominated city in Macedonia which had skirmishes and a brief war in recent years. It also has a significant Turkish population and drugs coming from Turkey are smuggled up by both Turks and Albanians.
Have the police ruled out suicide?
“Have the police ruled out suicide?”
LOL!!!
No. They are trying to determine if, having shot herself in the head three times without apparent effect, she may have become distraught and killed herself. Further details at 11.
Seriously, does anyone cringe like me, every time I see something about a policewoman who is killed in the line of duty in what appears to be circumstances where she was overpowered by a man? I can’t say with any certainty that happened here, and obviously, there are tough women out there who can handle themselves. Still, statistically and biologically, the advantage presumptively goes to the man. Putting women out there seems to be one more lie of multiculturalism and PC that is getting people killed.
LOLOL!
The UN hasn't ruled suicide out yet, as they have yet to conduct a study on how the second, third and fourth shots to the head by the victim could have been made! ;)
As Part of Serbia Kosovo became a drug route.
Serbian police and Milosevic were admonished and threatened by the international community every time they went after the smugglers/criminals.
I am guessing that this is your natural male protectiveness coming out -- and even as a woman, it was also my first thought (that she was overpowered by a male).
But she is the one who put herself out there and like any police officer, she has got to know that it always a risk that she might be killed in the line of duty -- especially in a mafia haven like Kosovo. It's heroic, but risky.
You are no doubt correct about the issue of personal responsibility for our choices. What I am really railing against is the way our multiculturists sold the lie that all choices should be equally open to men and women, despite real differences between the genders, to the point where it can mean life or death. I’m not saying I personally oppose women having the choice to do what they want, but the truth is, when this became fashionable, the rules were dumbed down to fit the false narrative that “women can do anything a man can do”. So women not really capable of defending themselves are encouraged to join, to pull the same duty and to get needlessly killed. Feminists in particular have screamed for this absolute gender equity and sold this notion to at least two generations of women. She is ultimately responsible, but the people who rearranged society share some of the blame.
It's true that the average man is physically stronger than the average female, and therefore not as good in a fight -- and it also true that there are also some exceptions to that rule.
I do believe that the thinking when they put women on police forces was that because women were less of a physical threat, they were going to be able to calm down a situation rather than escalate it. In other words, testosterone + testosterone had a greater chance of escalating into an altercation than testosterone+estrogen -- whether that ever proved to be true or false out in the field, I don't know.
Your defending Serbian police and Milosevic .
I appreciate your intellectual honesty.
As far as “they” making hormone analysis when deciding to feminize police departments, I think you give “them” too much credit. I think it was the pressure of ACLU lawsuits and political pandering that brought us where we are.
Remember that wonderful story about the woman who was able to calm down the escapee who had disarmed and killed a female sherrif’s officer? Both sides of the story there. Ironic, indeed.
And I, yours.
God put us both on this planet together, so I presume that he has no more or less respect for either of our genders. Men and women are supposed to be "a team", not "competitors" at everything. Not that as individuals we don't compete at things, but a competition between genders is just plain stupid -- no matter which side of the fence it comes from.
And in this case Joan happens to be right.
The Albanian Mafia has been using Kosovo as a transit point for drug-running, arms-smuggling and people trafficking for a very long time, even before Milosevic came to power. And when Milosevic was president of Yugoslavia, he and the Serbian police in Kosovo had as much right to try and stop those illegal activities as the president & police of any country had. But everytime they tried, the well-financed Albanian lobby in DC screamed their head off.
Pre-9/11, we in the US knew about the link between terrorism and drug-running and the US House identified the "Albanians and Kosovo", specifically, as a problem area that we should be concerned with. But Albanian narco-dollars later buried the problem in Congress, as the Albanian Mafia financed many Congressional careers.
HEARING OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON CRIME OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ONE HUNDRED SIXTH CONGRESS (2000): " THREAT POSED BY THE CONVERGENCE OF ORGANIZED CRIME, DRUG TRAFFICKING, AND TERRORISM"
During the NATO campaign against the former Yugoslavia in the Spring of 1999, the Allies looked to the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) to assist in efforts to eject the Serbian army from Kosovo. What was largely hidden from public view was the fact that the KLA raise part of their funds from the sale of narcotics. Albania and Kosovo lie at the heart of the ''Balkan Route'' that links the ''Golden Crescent'' of Afghanistan and Pakistan to the drug markets of Europe. This route is worth an estimated $400 billion a year and handles 80 percent of heroin destined for Europe."
.....The next example leads me to Albania. The ethnic conscience developed in the '80's and 90's in Albania and in particular in the Kosovo region has established a sense of collective identity necessary to engage in organized crime. This is an element that links organized crime from Albania to Panalbanian ideals, politics, military activities and terrorism. Such criminal troops are hierarchically structured, extremely violent, and are mainly involved in heroin smuggling and trafficking in human beings.They have established a good working relationship with the Italian Mafia. Also, cooperative ties have been formed between Turkish and Bulgarian troops.
About half a million Albanians have immigrated to the U.S. and Canada in the past 10 years. The European experience has shown that many Albanian immigrants were ideal candidates for recruitment by existing criminal organizations. They started to build up their own networks and through intensive use of violence managed to dissuade other competing groups. The ability they have shown in developing criminal activities in Europe suggests that Albanian crime groups could occupy an important place among criminal groups in North America in the foreseeable future.
