The president of Reconquest Éric Zemmour said he was in favor on Sunday April 23 of a change in legislation to authorize the police to make conditional “
tactical contacts
” and to hit a scooter engaged in a rodeo to end it.
A police officer was indicted and placed under judicial supervision, suspected of having struck a scooter with a service car driven by three teenagers, injured in the accident, on April 13 in Paris, then of having modified his version of the facts.
Shortly before midnight, in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, a scooter carrying three minors aged 17, 14 and 13, including one without a helmet, had been chased by a police car before falling.
The former presidential candidate denounced on
BFMTV
an “
example of semantic reversal
” because, according to him, “
as usual, we make delinquents victims and police officers aggressors
”.
"
One was without a helmet
" and, according to Éric Zemmour, "
they were rodeoing, which is prohibited by law, and in addition they are hit and run
", he accused, before acknowledging that the driver of the scooter was actually the subject of an investigation for "
refusal to comply
".

Asked about the method used, Éric Zemmour is "
favorable to what the English have been doing for a few months, what they call tactical contact
" which conditionally authorizes the police to hit the vehicle pursued to fight against urban rodeos.
"
I am in favor of changing the law and doing like the English
," he insisted, assuring "
that in England this kind of activity has decreased drastically
".
The former polemicist said he disagreed with the Minister of Education Pap Ndiaye, who said on Friday that there were "
phenomena
" of police violence,
on which
the
" General Inspectorate
" of the national police (IGPN ) “
bends over
”.
"
There is etymologically no police violence
"
,
estimated Éric Zemmour, since "
the police have the monopoly of legitimate violence
".
“
It is not the police who commit violence, we commit violence against the police, that is the main thing today, it is the police who must be defended
”, he concluded.
