the SGP Police-FO Unit union calls for “General States of Security”

“It is the States General of Security that we are asking for” so that “fear changes sides” declared Saturday October 12 on franceinfo Bruno Bartocetti, national secretary in charge of the southern zone of the SGP Police-FO Unit union after shots in the air at a market Saturday morning in the Saint-Bruno district in Grenoble.

“For these drug traffickers who are armed, we want to show, we want to intimidate […] certainly in a context of response to the work that we do, we police officers”explained Bruno Bartocetti. These shots, “in the middle of the day, with passers-by” did not cause any injuries, the police officer confirmed.

“The investigation is ongoing,” he also indicated while adding that “it becomes very difficult because for them we are adversaries, we are not police officers. I believe that beyond the police, we will have to think differently in our society”.

Bruno Bartocetti therefore calls for a response “wider […] only a reaction” of the Minister of the Interior. “Even if the results are convincing, it is not only with the ‘clearance’ operations and the arrests that we make on a daily basis that we will be able to repel this scourge which is plaguing our society”he concluded.
