Gatheringd of female Business Leaders in berlin. She said donald trump a great supporter of families. Laura first, the ceremony being held for the Police Officer who was slain last week on the ees. Ps elys he was shot dead in an attack claimed by the Islamic State group. The candidate signed to replace Francois Hollande also attended. The victims partner gave a moving tribute saying that he was suffering, but without hatred. A popular and dedicated Police Officer who was killed in the line of duty. He spent more than 15 years on the police force and was among the officers who guarded the bataclan after he was attacked. I suffer without hatred. When the first messages were issued that is series serious event was taking place and a policeman had lost his life, a small voice tell me it was you, so i recall this generous expression, you will not have my hatred. Mourners among the were the two remaining president ial hopefuls. Marine le pen criticized Emmanuel Macron for not having a plan to keep people safe from terrorism. As the incumbent president offered his condolences to the victims loved ones, he also had a message for the winners in the upcoming elections. Giveasked him to sufficient funds to recruit the personnel necessary to protect their fellow citizens and to provide them with the means to act even more effectively. This is what ive done for the last five years. Two colleagues in a female tourist were also wounded in the terror attack and are currently still receiving treatment in the hospital. Laura he was the fifth policeman to be killed by terrorist in france since january killed her since january. Im joined by a guest from the university of versailles. Thanks for being with us tonight. Attackd he survived the bethe bataclan only to killed by another jihadist us last week. This attack brings home just how in danger the French Police force are at this very tense time. Attacks have targeted either Police Officers are members of the military. Around 10,000 members of the French Military are deployed in french cities to protect etc. ,ts, tourist sites, and this is why they have been provided with extra weapons, with automatic rifles, heavier protections against bullets. It is true that in the past two years, this has become a priority in the sense that, the protection of Police Officers and also the response and the ability to appropriately respond to terrorist attacks has come something very central in the Security Policies of french government. Two failede were attacks quite recently, one at orly airport, where a man tried to grab the gun of a female not so and at the museum long ago as well, another attempted attack. These are becoming increasingly frequent, and the police ,hemselves were protesting saying there are underfunded and dont have enough resources just to deal with domestic issues, let alone this problem as well. Are they underfunded . The thing is, france has probably a sufficient number of Police Officers, in the sense that if we compare friends with other European Countries such as the u. K. , for instance, the police force in france is not necessarily understaffed. Its just that they are not used in the appropriate manner. A lot of them do administrative work, received phone calls, things that in the u. K. , for instance, are taking care of by civilians. There are only 20,000 civilians in the French Police force, and in the u. K. , 60,000. So its the use of those forces that is not appropriate. Another thing Police Officers thatcomplained about is the criminal Justice System is not severe enough with criminals and with terrorists. Man thatle of the officers pretty interesting. He tried to kill another officer back in 2001 and now the Police Unions are complaining, why did he spend only 14 years in prison for the murder attempt of a Police Officer . Laura and he was targeted because he was wearing his uniform, but it doesnt end there for Police Officers, a Police Officer was killed outside his home, his wife also murdered. Not just when theyre wearing uniforms but when they go about their private lives as well. Its becoming an increasingly dangerous and stressing job, isnt it . Are new regulations about Police Officers being anonymous when they operate. Now we have anonymous procedures in the sense that they do not sign the procedures with their names. When that make how searches or to carry a facemask, basically, to not be identified. Once again, this has been an increasing concern of the french government in the police chain of command and Police Unions. Laura thank you very much.
