During the demonstration “against police violence” on Saturday in Besançon, a sign was “firmly” condemned by the Doubs prefecture. A card on which was written “one cop, one bullet” was observed during this demonstration, according to witnesses.
The prefect of Doubs, Jean-François Colombet, shared in a press release his “indignation” at “this scandalous and unspeakable action against the police”.
Many anti-police slogans
This action also comes “less than 48 hours after an attempted homicide of extreme and rare violence” against a BAC police officer in Sochaux, recalls the prefecture. A police officer was seriously injured Thursday, while participating in the arrest of a 22-year-old young man already convicted and the subject of a search warrant for escape, the Montbéliard prosecutor’s office said.
“The police are mobilized day after day on our territory to ensure the security and tranquility of all our fellow citizens,” recalled the prefect. Numerous anti-police slogans were also chanted during this demonstration which brought together 470 people, according to a count from the prefecture.
