French National Gendarmerie is a military force, part of the French Armed Forces, and is tasked with law enforcement. It means that most of Gendarmes’ missions are similar to any other police’s force around the world. Its origins traced back to the 12th century and it operates over 96% of French territory (metropolitan and overseas). 51% of the French population live in areas under Gendarmerie’s responsibility. The rest of the population, living in large urban areas, are under the responsibility of the National Police, a civilian force.
I take the opportunity of an incident which happened in the north of Paris region on May 14, 2021 to pay tribute to our law enforcement forces, both Gendarmes and Policemen. For one year, since the death of George Floyd, some political groups have tried to replicate in France the current social upheaval occurring in the United States of America. This political maneuver is poorly received among the French population as recent polls suggest that a vast majority of the French supports their Police/Gendarmerie and condemns the lack of severity in penal sentences, in the context of an explosion of delinquency and criminality in our country.
At least, this has opened in our Western societies the debate on the legitimate use of violence by a public force. In my personal views, the common good must always be considered a priority against individualistic demands (like when some minority groups request not to obey public rules just to follow their personal beliefs). However, I also believe that the public force must act responsibly and with humanity each time it is possible. The killing of unarmed civilians by a public force is something which should never happen in our developed societies. In this video, these Gendarmes have been showing an admirable amount of courage, of discipline and of efficiency by capturing alive a woman with seemingly psychiatric disorder and strolling around with a rifle. Despite the threat and the stress of such unstable situation, they have shown great control and humanity in front of a woman needing help, first of all. This video means to remind this : everyday, similar situations happen. Our Gendarmes and Policemen, men and women, serve us every day, every night, facing misery, madness and brutality. Sometimes, we hear about failures and journalists or “experts” are commenting on and on but none of them ever faced the reality of the job. And whatever the political activists are saying, we need public safety more than we need these activists.
