An attack denounced by the police unions who demand “exemplary sentences against the perpetrators of these facts”. “Violence is daily and always escalates. Already last week, colleagues were subjected to violence by a 19-year-old, it is becoming unbearable and unacceptable, ”Fabrice Aebi, from the SGP Police FO union, told Midi Libre. The police are also said to be afraid to intervene in the face of increasingly violent attacks and the multiple accusations of police violence. “We affirm it today, police officers are helpless in the face of a societal phenomenon which only takes into account one version of the facts. Fear must change sides and politicians must assume and defend their police, who guarantee democracy, ”add the unions.
