"We drove in police big cars, green Antons. I think they were roburs. We drove somewhere to the airport. Wenceslas Square was marked there, let's say. The practice consisted of getting out of the car, assembling units, some rows. The commanding officer commanded - we had no one against us to do the extras. I don't think there were any demonstrations between 1978 and 1980. We pretended to perform the intervention in a unit with a unified command. The use of batons forward or the deployment of a shield was practised. That's how we were prepared. I think that's how they practice suppression of demonstrations to this day. "

"When I served in Prague 1 in a motorized unit as a student at a police school, prostitutes were chased there. I know a few times older cops threw me out of the car to go for a walk. I don't know what they did to them then. And I remember something else, also. It's probably still done today - older police officers had nice places to "hide". After midnight they said to themselves, 'We are going there. Let's go to sleep for a while. ”The let their walkie-talkie on, and the three cops went to sleep in the car. I also remember, as we always stopped at Wenceslas Square for sausage at midnight. It was the highlight, I enjoyed it- a sausage fried on burnt fat."
