The author believed that the proposals from Gabriel Attal to Jordan Bardella — declaring a state of emergency, mobilizing the armed forces, and presuming the legitimacy of the use of force by police and gendarmes — illustrated, in his view, a rapprochement between the right and the far right in their responses to October 17. https://t.co/8MxGvz9GTY #Urgence #Sécurité #Politique #FR (translated)

The author reported that a former commissioner had expressed outrage at the number of hooded police officers whose identity was concealed. He deemed this practice entirely illegal and attributed it to the lack of reaction or the collusion of a hierarchy that, in his opinion, was becoming more right-wing and radicalized, with very serious consequences. #Police #Justice #DroitsHumains #FR (translated)
