Halloween in Rennes. Call the parents? Not serious meets the elected PS

During the violent Halloween night in Rennes, a teenager, suspected of throwing projectiles against the police, was wounded by a shot. His family complained ... raising the indignation of the right Rennes. It claims that parents are summoned to the town hall. Not serious, answers the security assistant, Hubert Chardonnet.

During the violent Halloween night from Wednesday to Thursday, in Rennes, a policeman, who was the target of stone throwing on the floor, fought back with a rubber bullet thrower, and reached, at the temple , a boy of 15 years.

The teenager, who has been prescribed a 30-day Total Interruption Time (TTI), suffers from "major injuries" , including hematoma and fracture. On Friday, the family lodged a complaint of armed violence by a public authority custodian and voluntary injuries with total interruption of work. The boy, already unfavorably known police, denies throwing missiles on the police.

Clashes in Villejean

The General Inspectorate of the National Police (IGPN) was seized of the case to "determine the exact circumstances of these injuries and check whether the use of the weapon complies with the legal conditions of the use of force by the police " The facts occurred during clashes on the Kennedy slab, in the district of Villjean, between fifty young hooded and police officers.

The law obliges the latter to aim exclusively at the torso and the lower limbs, when using gum-bangs, to avoid serious injuries. At the end of April 2016, during a demonstration against the labor law in Rennes, a 20-year-old student had lost his left eye after a shot by a police officer with a rubber bullets launcher.

"How can you let your child stomp the police? "

Bertrand Plouvier, councilor Les Républicains, and leader of the right and center in the city council, said he was scandalized by this complaint of the family aimed at the police: "I want to remind parents that they are responsible for their children and their education. That the acts of vandalism, of which their children are guilty, are extremely serious. "

The elected Republicans also asked the mayor of Rennes "to call the parents and their children, to understand how we can leave his child of fifteen years in the street pepper the police and explain the rules to live together " .

The sanctions are justice ... not the city hall

Not serious, replies Hubert Chardonnet, socialist security assistant, on Twitter.

@ PLOUVIERB The reminders to order by the Mayor are excluded when a legal proceeding is in progress. It's the law ! In view of the seriousness of the facts that we have strongly condemned, the sanctions are obviously part of the justice that is seized. # PasSerious cc @ westfrance35
