“I don’t believe the police are racist,” says Laurent Jacobelli, spokesman for the National Rally.

“I don’t believe the police are racist”said Sunday July 2 on franceinfo Laurent Jacobelli, spokesperson for the National Rally, deputy for Moselle, when he was questioned about racism in the French police and about the existence of facies checks. “I think that if there is an act of racism, it is those who attack everything that represents France, not those who defend it: to say that the police are racist is a mistake”adds the elected member of the National Rally.

Confronted with the testimony of Stéphane Troussel, president of the department of Seine-Saint-Denis, on the facies controls in his department and in particular in his city of La Courneuve, Laurent Jacobelli affirms that “Seine-Saint-Denis is the most criminogenic department that we have in France, it is moreover difficult to live for most of the inhabitants. It is a department where there are the most populations from the immigration and therefore statistically, when you do checks, you have people of foreign origin”.

But the chosen one denies “a systematic will of the police to attack those who do not have the right skin color according to them, it is totally false.” According to Laurent Jacobelli, “we must stop with this victim logic”.

“We have to stop saying to young people who have dealt or broken: ‘we arrested you because of your skin color’. No, we arrested you because you dealt or broke. I’m fed up with this logic victim!”
