Shock." Georges Knecht, secretary-general of SNIPAT (independent national union of administrative, technical and scientific staff of the national police) returned to the microphone of Europe 1 on the attack that killed four people Thursday afternoon at the police headquarters of Paris. "This is a drama never seen in the police institution," said Georges Knecht.
The attacker, who was an administrative officer there, was killed. His motives are not yet known. Georges Knecht, however, wanted to discuss how these administrative staff are "despised" and "underrepresented" in the police. "It's a shadow staff, often perceived as a subcategory of the police."
