Steegen made today appeared in court as a lawyer — two agents of the police Carma to represent. “Zero tolerance should be the norm.”
A 41-year-old Genkenaar was today facing trial in Tongeren for blows and injuries to agents from pz Carma. The Genkenaar spat, and shared kopstoten off that a racket was. A barely 19-year-old teenager from Oudsbergen got today also a prison sentence of twelve months with the postponement because he is under the influence of pills two agents tried to attack with aardappelmesjes. Last Sunday became a police officer of, again, the zone Carma back is injured after a skirmish after the carnival parade in belgium in Oudsbergen. Flikkenadvocaat Erik Pence, and Bilzens mayor Bruno Steegen see a bold evolution in the violence against police officers.
Bruno Steegen did this morning, his sash and his robes to the two agents of the Police Carma to represent: “As mayor, I see that our police officers day in, day out on our safety and the safety of our children. People that violence against police would be more stringent should be punished, or the imposed punishment would effectively have to be performed. Now, that is not always the case, what a lot of police officers quite frustrating. More stringent and effective penalties. Here is a challenge for the next federal government. Zero tolerance should be the norm”
Respect disappears
‘flikkenadvocaat’ Erik Pence, see the police violence flare up: “every week I’d four to five files, the violence against the agents, the last ten years, ever triad has become,” said Pence. “Monthly, there is one case between a vehicle as a weapon, is used for policemen to drive. Strokes and injuries, rebellion, slander: it is inherently become to the job of being a police officer. I determine that the respect for an agent the last couple of years as snow for the sun to disappear. “These are the risks of the trade’ you hear often say. No, you choose not to for the job to from a lack of respect to be spat upon, betrayed and beaten. Sure is a policeman risks. But giving an accused is not a safe-conduct for an agent to attack. There is too little respect for the uniform.”
