RADICALIZATION AMONG POLICE A GROWING CONCERN FOR FRANCE.

Published: 09 Mar 2016 11:18 GMT+01:00

A leaked memo has revealed that not even the French police is spared from the phenomenon of radicalization or fundamentalism, with a number of cases highlighted in recent years.


"While the numbers are tiny compared to the number of police in Paris, the internal memo has revealed that there were 17 cases between 2012 and 2015 of officers in Paris demonstrating behaviour or acts that concerned their superiors.

Around one third of the cases involved women and four of them were officers who have converted to Islam. None of the cases highlighted involve high-ranking officers.

There are no figures for the number of cases across the country.

Le Parisien newspaper, which revealed the leaked memo, claimed the officers were identified for acts such as refusing to stand guard outside a synagogue or refusing to respect a minute's silence. One officer even put out a call to murder on Facebook, which landed him in court, Le Parisien claimed.

The newspaper claimed police in Paris were now recording "transgressions" on a weekly basis.

Stanislas Gaudon, from the police union Alliance, told The Local that while they couldn’t talk about or confirm the individual cases, most were related to disobeying the police's strict rules around secularism.

While the incident maybe something as minor as an officer observing daily Muslim prayers or wearing religious clothing at work, police are forced to take it seriously given the heightened terror threat and huge concern about the number of French people being radicalized.

The fact that officers are armed and have access to police files means the Ministry of Interior has to take the utmost caution, said Gaudon.

“This phenomenon was a concern back in 2014, which is why the Ministry of Interior asked for particular attention to be paid to it,” Gaudon told The Local.

“There are rules in place that forbid officers from demonstrating their religious conviction at work. Officers are closely watched by their superiors and police chiefs in Paris and if an individual is identified then police intelligence services can become involved,” he said.

“It may prove to be a false alarm or a real case of radicalization or fundamentalism."

Patrice Latro, Chief of the Paris police accepted "the phenomenon exists but is extremely marginal" given that Paris has 27, 000 officers..."



"Extremely marginal".

Right.

All that was needed to paralyze Paris a couple of months back was a handful of jihadi assholes. "17 cases between 2012 and 2015 of officers in Paris demonstrating behaviour or acts that concerned their superiors"?

Sounds like enough to me to be of major concern.

And as White Europe is further sliding down the demographic death spiral, and the composition of French Police is varying accordingly, and the proportion of followers of the prophet - piss, excrement and spit and menstruation blood be upon him - increases in the service...

... it can only get worse.
