“there is a loss of confidence, there is wear and tear”, the police between discouragement and revolt

The police are demonstrating to be heard, increasingly strong social violence, generalized lack of consideration, inappropriate presidential declaration, the Alternative Police CFDT union puts words on the ills of the national police.

The national police are doing badly, more and more pointed out, by citizens who reproach them for their brutality, or by others a form of inefficiency, by the political power which does not take the measure of its difficulties and until President of the Republic who practices a form of amalgamation which deeply shocked the police, even among the most moderate.

In Nantes, the insecurity of which the people of Nantes constantly report cannot do without this reorganization “.

Certainly, but are all police officers blameless? “There are administrative and judicial inquiries which lead to sanctions, so in fact there are breaches here and there. But you have to know how to separate personal breaches and not put them in touch with an institution by implying that it is the administration or the training that would cause us to be trained to be violent..
