A police officer injured in the head
A police officer suffered a head injury after receiving a stone throw, he is believed to have suffered head trauma as well as a forehead and lip injury. Laurent De Martin de Frémont denounces a trivialization of this type of event: “there are more and more rocks, it’s unbearable“. He thus asks for greater firmness: “atoday anyone who touches a policeman should be imprisoned “.
This stonework immediately caused a reaction on Twitter, Eric Ciotti, LR deputy for the Alpes-Maritimes, he calls: “with the greatest firmness in the face of those who attack our forces of order. As soon as they are arrested, they will have to sleep in prison“.
Ditto for Christelle D’intorni, also LR deputy for the Alpes-Maritimes who supports the stoned police officers, she recalls that she has been denouncing for several months: “the growing insecurity in this part of my riding. Police reinforcements must be brought to our city to stem the explosion of violence!”
