After the racist pranks (the "clean cities in Carchi and we will get rid of this scum Mrs. "...) Manichean presidential campaign, few cases are tarnishing the image of our dear president.
First Lamine Dieng case where a young black man-coincidence? -25 (Lamine Dieng) is found dead in a police van on 17 June.
According to the police report, the police intervened because the girlfriend would have called Lamine completely panicked. Also according to the report the police allegedly arrested Lamine when he beat her. They would find it difficult to control because Lamine was quite muscular ...
Then the police took him and it him and during the journey he died of a heart attack due to taking drugs (cannabis)...
But now the versions of the arrested are contradictory, as some claim to have found "Lamine in a car, already dead, and not easily know. However, this latter point has been clarified thanks to the presence of the Lamine motorcycle close to home.
Moreover, the family doubted this version of events because Lamine was not violent and was not taking any drugs. It is also noteworthy that the person notified of the death of the young man received a phone call around 17:30 on 18 June 2007 while the death was made at 9.50 in the morning but not with the same person. The girl also said she was notified 36 hours after death, and saw the body after just 58 hours ...
After the young man's family has fought for an autopsy, which was successful in obtaining. The latter revealed the presence of cocaine in the Lamine body which and the family was surprised. Relatives of Lamine also clarifies that the boy was not cardiac. According to the police Lamine Dieng was well known for their service, one can wonder why the body was difficult to identify?
According to the police case is closed but the family continues to fight because it requested against the expertise of the autopsy and also erit to senior political figures as Mr. and Mrs. ROYAL and Mr BESANCENOT but each times without success. The family had also organized a rally on 6 July 2007 in place GAMBETTA in Paris. According to police there were 300 demonstrators, according to testimony from protesters about 600 people were present.
The family also testified several times on the radio GENERATION (88.2 FM). It should also say that a bookseller who took position in favor of Lamine was summoned to the police for having put a placard " here we die in the vans," yet another example of the great freedom of expression in France.
Finally, such cases are numerous, but always suppressed by the police.
The second case referred to is the small Nelson crushed by a police car (which was not on patrol) and burned a red light. The boy was aged fifteen years and lived in Marseille.
The car was traveling at 70Km / h in a zone limited to 50Km / h.
The prosecutor of the city said that the place and why the police presence in the city "made it unnecessary to take risks to the detriment of our citizens."
This case took place just before the enter iby force of a law (now official) stating that in some districts of Paris (the XXth which resided elsewhere Lamine Dieng) the police should arrive within 5 minutes when they are called.
Note that the police and their unions are unhappy. It is clear that this does not encourage them to respect the rules of the road when he was already undermined before the law aroused ...
Finally, the third important point, the unrestricted sale of Taser. Note that, in the United States there have been problems because of that although the police denies this statement, because in fact a young woman in an event has taken three electric shocks in the face when only a must "normally" be fired "if something goes wrong ". We can imagine that the Taser is such firearms because in many cases police say they pray panic when there is a blunder that was committed, and will have the same thing with the Taser because panic does not and can aim where they want (the face, genitals and other parts of the body are normally prohibited).
To solve the problems of the police Mr Sarkozy spoke for a time to put cameras in police cars, but that plan was quickly abandoned. Yet put cameras in the streets is increasingly talking.
And in any case for cameras in police cars, a record that can change or be lost ...
My sincere condolences to all families affected by these stories.
