“I open a bottle of champagne every time they close the coffin of a #Viry-Chatillon cop.
“An anti-police tag, also mentioning” a good cop is a dead cop “, was discovered this Tuesday on a wall of the Condorcet bus station, in Juvisy-sur-Orge (Essonne).
It was a shocked resident of the neighboring town of Viry-Chatillon who alerted Jean-Marie Vilain, the mayor (Les Centristes) of her town.
“We cannot read such remarks without reacting, thunders the elected official.
The trivialization of violence, whether physical, verbal, or here with words is unacceptable.
Especially with this hashtag.
There is a real history in our city.
In October 2016, four police officers were attacked with molotov cocktails and forcibly kept in their burning cars while carrying out surveillance around a mast supporting a regularly attacked CCTV camera.
The city plans to file a complaint
"This remains a trauma for many people", recalls Robin Reda, the deputy (LR) of the 7th district who went there to see this "despicable tag against our police officers".
“You can imagine the pain for the police, or their family members, who would read through this bus station of such horrors.
For us, elected officials, it is essential to reaffirm our support for the forces of order.

The tag should be erased by the end of the week, in conjunction with the SNCF, owner of the wall.
The municipality of Juvisy has just started the process.
"It is shocking, a few days after seeing a firefighter being attacked (Editor's note: then in intervention during the demonstration of May 1), to discover such a violent message, continues Lamia Bensarsa Reda, mayor (without label) of Juvisy-sur- Barley.
Especially in a territory where safety is a priority.
We are considering filing a complaint.
But the fight should not be only judicial.
Elected officials must also convey the message that such remarks are intolerable.
