A sign calling for the murder of police officers was observed during the demonstration "against police violence" in Besançon on Saturday, reported the prefecture of Doubs, condemning it "firmly".
A cardboard on which was written "a cop, a bullet" was observed during this demonstration, as Le Figaro was able to see on images shot by Radio Sud Besançon and broadcast on YouTube.
The prefect of Doubs, Jean-François Colombet, shared in a statement his "indignation" at "this scandalous and unspeakable act against the police". This action also comes "less than 48 hours after an attempted homicide of extreme and rare violence" against a police officer of the BAC in Sochaux, recalls the prefecture.
A police officer was seriously injured Thursday, while he participated in the arrest of a 22-year-old man already convicted and the subject of a search warrant for escape, said the prosecutor of Montbéliard.
«
The police are mobilized day after day on our territory to ensure the safety and tranquility of all our fellow citizens, "said the prefect.
Many anti-police slogans were also chanted during this demonstration that gathered 470 people, according to a count of the prefecture.
