| "Both De Telegraaf and AD have photographs of Amsterdam Mayor Job Cohen on their front pages. The mayor visited the offices of the Amsterdam ambulance service after staff held a walkout following threats against paramedics who came to the assistance of a Moroccan boy who was stabbed. According to de Volkskrant, an angry group of relatives and youths threatened ambulance staff. One of them said: "If my little brother dies, you will die too". The driver of a mobile medical team helped keep the crowd at bay while the ambulance driver and his paramedic put the victim in the ambulance and drove off. In a reaction, Mayor Cohen said, "Aggression against aid workers is unacceptable. This problem with Moroccan hoodlums must be solved. Cohen has proposed a number of measures, including anonymity for aid workers who file reports and engaging in dialogue with the city's Moroccan community. In parliament, the Labour Party has proposed fitting ambulances with surveillance cameras." |
Why are there any measures, if there is a problem with a specific community the worse thing to do is bend over backwards for them alone.
