.Faced with these savage hordes, calling for calm is no longer sufficient, it must be imposed!
Restoring order and placing those arrested out of harm’s way must be the only political signals given out.
Faced with such acts of violence, the police family must remain united.
Our colleagues, like the majority of citizens, can no longer suffer the dictates of these violent minorities.
It is not the time for union action but for the fight against this “vermin”.
To surrender, capitulate and make them happy by laying down our arms is not the solution given the seriousness of the situation.
All means must be put in place to restore the rule of law as fast as possible.
Once restored, we already know that we will relive this anarchy that has plagued us for decades.
For these reasons, Alliance Police Nationale and UNSA Police will assume their responsibilities and we warn the government henceforth that when this is over, we will continue to act and without concrete measures to legally protect the police, without a proper penal response, along with significant means, the police will cast judgment depending on the level of consideration they are granted.
Today, the police are in combat for we are at war.
Tomorrow we will enter resistance and the government should be aware of this
