Officer transferred after Moroccan teen's arrest

A police officer who was filmed using aggressive force to push 14-year old Moroccan Oubayda to the floor during an arrest action in The Hague's Schilderswijk this week has been transfered to another district, De Telegraaf reports. De Telegraaf spoke to several non-native Dutch youths in the neighborhood who say that they heard at the Hoefkade department that the officer in question has been transfered and that he will not be active in the Schilderswijk for two months. During a gathering with several residents of the neighborhood, the police chief and civil servants from City Hall, it was also reportedly said that officers active in the troubled Schilderswijk are going to get IBT training to prepare them to be able to handle the tensions that have erupted after the arrest of the 14-year-old. The Moroccan ambassador earlier this week expressed his anger over the incident. The police headquarters in The Hague confirms that the officer has been moved, but emphasizes that the transfer has nothing to do with the incident. According to the police reaction, the officer was at the end of his training, and a transfer away from the Hoefkade district was already planned before the incident occurred. The investigation into the incident itself is not yet complete, the police reaction reads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c5RV79aX9E&t=47s
