For several days now, a photo of a policeman changing a woman’s tire in the center of Burgas has been circulating on social networks and collecting hundreds of comments. The scene takes place at the crossroads between San Stefano Blvd. and Hristo Botev Blvd., Flagman writes.
And while all passers-by were filming, without even helping, two employees from the “Security Police” sector at the Second Regional Police Department showed that they are dedicated to their profession and became heroes in the eyes of a woman from Burgas … and not only.
While patrolling in their area, senior police officer Kiril Vatev and his colleague Sylvester Kunchev noticed Zlatina Dimitrov’s Peugeot and the condition of the tire at the traffic lights. Vatev asks her to stop so as not to interfere with the movement and explains the reason.
“Her tire was soft, and that’s a prerequisite for an accident.
I asked her if she had a jack and a spare tire, but she didn’t. He had to buy new ones from nearby stores because a valve was broken. Then I changed the tire and everything was fine. The unpleasant thing was that many people watched, took pictures, but no one came to help the woman.
The fact that I wear a uniform does not mean that I am not a human being, and I would help everyone again, “said junior inspector and senior police officer Kiril Vatev.
The uniformed man does not see anything heroic in the situation, but over the years he has more than once become a media star. Four years ago, he was caught in the frame again while helping a grandfather with crutches cross the crossroads. And while the Burgas drivers were playing for the pensioner to hurry, senior police officer Vatev got off the patrol, stopped the traffic and led the old man along the route.
“I’m sure that if I were an ordinary person, there would be no such distortion, I don’t feel like a hero. So I thought it was the right thing to do and I did it, it was my duty. It hurts me that people are not good to each other and They don’t look at each other, they look from the side, take pictures and then write on Facebook, this is very funny and even more tragic for us as a society.
It is very easy to judge the police, they are bad because they punish those who violate the law, and in fact we are people like everyone else, “Vatev added.
Senior police officer Kiril Vatev has been in the system of the Ministry of Interior for 30 years, thousands of road accidents and crimes have passed through his eyes, he has proved his professionalism and does not need loud words and honors for his deeds.
He is a former national swimmer, he has long hung the medals on the wall at home. For 7 years he has been the captain of the swimming team of ODMVR and has won dozens of competitions and cups.
“I did not help to receive thanks, but for my own satisfaction. Every good deed pays off in itself, I just hope that the people of Burgas will become more reasonable and thinking people, and not seirdzhii commenting on Facebook,” Vatev said. .
