‘No worries, they were Russians’: Latvian police officer under fire over Flydubai crash ‘joke’

Police in Riga have rushed to apologize and are looking into a case of unacceptable behavior after one officer wrote on his Facebook page that he saw nothing tragic about the Flydubai Boeing 737 crash, as most of its passengers had been Russians.
A reaction to the outrageous comment was quick to follow, with the head of Riga Municipal Police making a statement on Sunday, promising that the case would be looked into and the offender punished accordingly.

“In connection with this tragic incident, one of the employees of the Riga municipal police posted an unacceptable comment on social networks,” the statement by Juris Lucas reads.

“Having realized the incongruity of his actions, the employee in question has removed the comments and apologized for the statement, expressing condolences to the relatives of the people who died in the tragedy,” the police chief said.
