Amid violent riots in France, the two main police unions have declared in a written statement that France is in a civil war and warned the government that once the rule of law is restored, the police will be in the “resistance” against the government.
In a remarkable, strongly worded statement posted on social media on June 30, the Alliance Police Nationale and UNSA wrote: “Today the police are in combat because we are at war, tomorrow we will be in resistance and the government should realize that.”

The police unions said in their message that the police must be allowed to crack down hard on the rioters to take back control of the streets.
“Facing these savage hordes, asking for calm is no longer enough, it must be imposed!” the message reads. “Restoring the republican order and putting the apprehended beyond the capacity to harm should be the only political signals to give. In the face of such exactions, the police family must stand together. Our colleagues, like the majority of citizens, can no longer bear the tyranny of these violent minorities.”
The statement made clear that all options must be on the table to restore order.
“The time is not for union action, but for combat against these ‘pests.’ Surrendering, capitulating, and pleasing them by laying down arms are not the solutions in light of the gravity of the situation,” the unions said. All means must be put in place to restore the rule of law as quickly as possible.”
