The images of students from the National Police School partying and braving curfew and confinement arouse indignation and emotion.
Posted on the Twitter account of BFM TV police justice journalist Raphaël Maillochon, they were confirmed by the school management who announced that they had opened an internal administrative investigation the day after the events.
On this video, we see a gathering of young adults (a hundred people according to the journalist, about fifty according to AFP) at night, outside, but on the school site.
When the police arrive, we see the students supposed to learn the profession of police guard whistling them copiously.
A party, at night, in full curfew
The video was released to the public on Sunday.
But it was carried out on Wednesday, October 28, around 9 p.m., a few moments after the intervention of the Head of State announcing the reconfinement on all French territory.
Containment was not yet effective.
On the other hand, the curfew had already been in force since October 23 in the Gard.
The National Police Academy is based in Nîmes.
National Police School (ENP) of # Nîmes.
On October 28, about a hundred students took part in a clandestine party.
At around 9:20 p.m., alerted by music and howls, a patrol of a canine brigade moved on site.
The rest is ... amazing.

Students from the Nîmes police school are said to have organized a “clandestine evening” in full confinement.
Totally unacceptable.
If this is true, responsible students will not be worthy of wearing the uniform and will be excluded.
To be respected you have to be respectable

“If this is true, the responsible students will not be worthy of wearing the uniform and will be excluded.
