“French police union declares “civil war” in France: it’s us or the violent minorities…”
excerpt of message from the French police union:
“For these reasons, Alliance Police Nationale and UNSA Police will take their responsibilities and warn the government from now on that at the end, we will be in action and without concrete measures for the legal protection of the Police, an appropriate penal response, significant means provided, the police will judge the extent of the consideration given.
Today the police are in combat because we are at war. Tomorrow we will be in resistance and the government will have to become aware of it.””
Regimes collapse when the police take off their uniforms and go home.
The translation is a bit awkward, but what I interpret the police unions are saying is if they are not backed up legally in what they need to restore order, and hung out to dry like the office charged, “the police will judge the extent of the consideration given.”
If all the police call in sick, I don’t know what will happen.
Reaping what they have sowed.
