In this attack on the patrol reflected a dangerous trend: the French COP every day more and more difficult to maintain the social order. The Paris incident occurred in XIX the Metropolitan area, not very prosperous from a social point of view. But these areas around Paris and other major French cities where there live natives of former French colonies, hundreds. “Our form is no longer inspires respect, we are no longer afraid. Moreover, impunity has become almost endemic”, – with bitterness says Ivan Assioma of the police Union “Alliance Polis”. According to the Minister of internal Affairs of Gerald Darmanin what he said at the session of the National Assembly, last year the country registered 50 thousand cases of open defiance of guards, threats, insults at them, including in social networks. Moreover, the performance of police duties often leads to tragedies, as happened last week in Le Mans. There rebellious the driver did hit a 43-year-old policeman. Orphans left to his three daughters. A little later in the South, reckless driver on the scooter and without a license crashed into a group of police officers. The result: three were seriously injured.
in order to change the situation, the head of the French interior Ministry has launched a program of assistance to his subordinates. This month all the police had the opportunity to report problems on the website and a special “hot” telephone line with the guaranteed monitoring of the situation. However, as convinced trade unionists Ivan Assioma with “antipolitical craze” can be overcome only increasing the penalties for those who dare to attack verbally or physically for his colleagues.
France is not the only European country where law enforcement officers are under attack. In early summer the police of Brussels decided to strike after 37 soldiers of their special forces were injured trying to stop the massacres of demonstrators opposing racism. Belgian police also demanded “zero tolerance” in cases of violence by the unruly public. Italy recorded the increased level of aggression especially drivers during the recent quarantine. In Finland sounding the alarm: according to the chief of the local police Seppo of Kolehmainen, “violence against guards has doubled during the years of this Millennium”.
