horrible racist place against foreigners at least Ukrainians or those who are here not as tourists but living economic migrants. The world should know what is going on here and the racism toward migrant workers in Poland. possibly drug den with bought police functioning as money laundering.
I was walking around Late at night. I was walking to get a kebab or something to eat after a night of partying where I was mostly dancing at this other place called Lodz Kalisza on Piotrkowska street on early Sunday morning 15/08/21 at roughly 4 AM and noticed a commotion near this Aisha place which I previously heard is a racist place and functions as a drug den of sorts or a money laundering place (but again just what someone said could be just talking smack but seeing as how they act and were made for police being called and tried to get people not to film them which is a public right in any first world country I would not doubt it).
I saw this bald head bouncer who looked to be in his 40s or early 50s say to these two people (a man and woman) fuck Ukrainians go back to Ukraine fuck your country in Polish and she was just asking him why she had to be manhandled and grabbed and thrown out? He just kept going on his racist and nationalist rants and the man tried to say something and he shoved hi as hard as he could to the floor.
The woman tried to film and at this point other people form inside this Casablanca restaurant were outside and tried to stop her including the main bouncer almost like grabbing the phone camera and I know to film is a public right. Again, the cops did to care about any of this or let me even explain to to them as they ere so quickly trying to get rid of me and it almost looked like they were cheering it on or laughing after the fact.
Basically I called them and they came very quickly surprisingly and I called them right after I saw the shove. when they came they talked to the bouncer and he said something in Polish while smirking like "someone shoved someone then someone else got shoved I don't know I don't know and just laughed" and one of the cops even smiled back or laughed with him. I then tried to explain since I speak perfect Polish I am a witness and they asked 'you're the one who called us" like they ere angry about it and I said yea I saw the incident the guy got assaulted or shoved and the bouncer kept saying racist nationalist things to those people.
All that lady was doing is basically asking "what are we doing to you for you to grab my arm and throw me like that?" like you could tell the racism was apparent in her voice what sort of garbage racist country this is. All he kept doing was acting violent and hurling racist and xenophobic insults at her and her nationality.
I can't believe the cops in Lodz are cool with such behavior (and this is documented that I called them at precisely 4:06 AM and they showed up there and not a single reprimand arrest or anything was made and I am sure there is some video footage or camera in one of the businesses on the streets that could confirm everything I am saying). After a while the cop said to me so you are not with them or part of this? I said no but I am a witness and he said than get out of here in Polish and threatened that if I don't leave that he will have me arrested for something or taken to komenda. What pretext would he even have as I committed no crime? I just stood in the area and didn't listen as I knew I committed no crime and won't let this hatred and violence going on against immigrants in Poland just be. Plus I was their witness.
But now I realize maybe something could be done. At least I could write about it to the world and leave a review here. Either way this place is known for this as this guy who works at a kebab stand like 10 feet away to the right of it on Piotrkowska previously he told me and this is why I stopped actually to look and listen what was going on he previously told me of such an incident where mace was used on Ukrainian women or girls for no reason (or at the very least no reason he knew or told me about). So again it is this targeting of this ethnic group at this at least particular establishment showing a pattern.
It also is worth noting there is a big chance the police from their behavior I saw are in their pocket and there truly may be some drug operating going on there or money laundering like that one guy alluded to who works at the kebab stand.
I guess the mistakes I made was to not film any of it and right away simply call cops not knowing that me being a witness or even possibly footage doesn't matter as their whole goal was to support this bouncer and behavior and racism or make their night easy and let everyone leave or go away. Basically, the police's first action was to get his side of the story and shut down all others not even letting me explain the racist part or what I heard him say to those people in Polish (a native language for me). read more
