The verbal attack is serious and the policeman did not let it pass. Monday evening, while intervening with colleagues in Menton (Alpes-Maritimes), in the context of a suspicion of domestic violence, an urban security officer was called “dirty nigger who knows nothing about the law” by an alcoholic man.
A racist insult coupled with an “contempt of a person holding public authority” for which the official filed a complaint, we learned from the departmental directorate of public security.
Placed in police custody, the perpetrator recognized them after a period of sobering up. He was released after a criminal composition procedure, which allows the prosecutor to propose one or more sanctions in the context of certain offenses, specifies a police source. In this case, a fine of 500 euros.
