We receive and publish – “Seven bruised officers: this is the balance of what is happening in these hours in Turin, a predictable epilogue of the intolerance towards the police force which is growing throughout the country in recent times” declares Domenico Pianese, general secretary of the Coisp police union, in reference to the tensions between the police and university groups marching in the Piedmontese capital. “In addition to expressing all our solidarity with our colleagues at the Turin Police Headquarters and the Mobile Units, we cannot help but underline how these self-styled demonstrators in most cases take to the streets not for an ideal, but in the frantic and continuous search for clash with those who represent the State. Even more: numerous militants from the Askatasuna social center also infiltrated the procession and, disguising themselves as demonstrators, incited the crowd against the police, staging a real urban guerrilla war, and put at risk the safety of not only the policemen who were there to protect public order but also of all citizens,” he concludes.
